    I’ve got a Gen 1 sitting at 116k. Replaced both blend door actuators and now onto the shocks. Love the truck! It been great and very dependable.

      Nice! I'm hoping I never have to touch the blendoors

    I have a 2012 with 98,000. Changed plugs, flushed coolant, flushed transmission, new brakes and tires are next. I’ll probably bite the bullet and replace the shocks too. Not looking forward to that. I love it! It’s been a great truck.
    The camper shell looks great. 👍🏻

      Send the shocks to Texas Shock Works. They offer a rebuild service where once you get your rebuilt shocks, you send yours back to them.

    Great to see that the truck is still treating you well. I have 135k and love my Gen 1, but one glaring issue I've had was replacing the transmission due to some module failing. It's rare but can happen. Other than that, same general maintenance like you've had.

    • @Garagetopics

      Your transmission issue is always in the back of my mind, but I have hardly seen anyone with 2014s have issues. I'm doing a trans filter replacement and fluid drain this weekend, hoping that keeps me good for a while. I'll make a video about this, but I really want a 2nd gen raptor, but I can't justify selling this tank and replacing it with a newer truck that may not be as reliable

      GEN 2 raptors have the ecoboost which has a slew of issues, the plastic oil pan leaks, the camp phasers will go out sometimes twice before 120k miles and its a steep bill, yes FORD has revised cam phasers but i have seen those fail too... also turbos like to fail around the typical mileage people are buying them used and thats a pretty penny.. IMO its not worth it. and the large moon roofs are notorious for leaking @@Garagetopics

    Nice! It sounds like we have a similar ownership timeline, I bought my 2014 scab Jan 2023 and has been great since. Only issue i've had: Leaking transmission cooler lines. Swapped those out immediately. Also rebuilt the shocks and got new brakes all around

    I've got a very similar Raptor, sitting at 105k. Picked mine up after selling my 2013 FX4 and regretting it. The only issues I've had is the Sync system, but I've had a bunch of Ford vehicles with that system, and they all have problems, but I'm still loving my truck.

    • @robfowler3233
      @robfowler3233 3 місяці тому +1

      You can upgrade to a SYNC 3. I just started looking into doing the swap myself, because the SYNC 2 system is garbage

    I have been contemplating selling my 2017 F150 5.0 for one of these. Wonder if it is really worth it.

      I literally have a 2017 5.0 and there’s a raptor for sale right now. Did you end up getting it? Was it worth it?

    • @BBPlasSVT
      @BBPlasSVT 6 днів тому

      @@milesmalone5710 I did not end up getting a raptor. My F150 is the perfect daily and with gas prices being so high here in CA, the ethanol option is a plus. I’m at 100k miles and it hasn’t given me any issues at all. Just recently added a set of raptor wheels and it gave it a whole different look.

    Please For the love of God take that camper shell off of that truck that just makes the truck looks stupid and ugly and screams that you ain’t gonna use that truck for truck stuff. It’s just a grocery holler vehicle

      Looks more likely to use it for truck stuff with the camper. Assuming taking a truck into the wilderness camping is still truck stuff

      Camper stuff is truck stuff
