Cool AF, glad you're making content on these years. Not everybody can get a brand new raptor R! Plus, you're not to far away. I support local buddy. Good work
Same here 🥴 I was about to hit the complete a purchase with Carvana of a 2017 with 54k miles for $45k but these videos are making me want to go look for a 2019 instead.
As far as the aluminum oil pans go, be careful where you get your oil serviced. They have a shallow plug that is easy to strip, so they crammed a slightly larger plug in and never told me. it started dripping a little but you get that off the skid plate sometimes so I didn't worry. Took it to Ford for the next service and they had to replace the entire pan. Not cheap.
Thank you for making this video. I am in the same boat right now. I have no idea on how to shop for credit unions and lock in a rate. Could you or someone else here share how to do that? I'd really appreciate it. The biggest thing stopping me right now is the crazy APR numbers.
I went 2017. Avalanche Gray! Color plus a lower price on a truck with only 48k miles put me over the edge on the 2017. Agree the ‘19/‘20 has some awesome upgrades though.
I paid $49k for my 2017 with almost every option except the carbon package, with 48,000 miles on it. The previous owner was fellow military and ordered the truck new. It had all the paperwork and maintenance records. He never took it off road so it is extremely clean. Not sure that is the best deal but I have had it for over 8 months and put almost 20k miles on it and love everything about it. I do have the Cobb TMC tune on it as it did have the rough shifting transmission issue. Cobb access port sorted that right out.
I also bought a '17 in Avalanche 2 weeks ago. It has 46k miles on it. Dealer was asking 47k, talked them down to 42k and had them install the updated cam phasers in the deal.
Great video, I recently bought a 18.. lucked out I guess it has both the aluminum oil pan and the lane keep assist feature maybe it was a late add to 2018.. Great content!
I have a 2020 and I'll hang onto it forever. About 100,000 miles and ZERO problems. And yes it's done "Raptor stuff." Not a peep from the phasers either. Going off of OLM too 🤘
Hell wanted* I’m torn between three trucks 2023 Toyota trd off road 32k miles for 37k 2024 nissan frontier pro 4 x brand new for 39k 2017 ford raptor 100k miles (cam phasers replaced) for 37k Can’t make my mind up
My 22 Tacoma TRD PRO was the worst vehicle that I ever owned. Terrible performance,terrible payload (flattened leaf springs at 300 pounds, terrible seats.There is no fun to drive at all in a Tacoma Get the Raptor! I’m in a 5.7 21 Tundra TRD Pro now, looking to sell for a 2nd gen Raptor as soon as possible.
My 2020 has updated phasers (late 2019 got this update from factory) and just turned 100,000 miles and ZERO problems. Drives like new I kid you not. Imo 2019 and 2020 are thee best years of an F150 Raptor, especially late 2019 if you're worried about a possible $3500 valvetrain repair.
Oh and whats all this talk about "rebuilding the Fox shocks at 100k miles" Anyone else heard this? So to be clear: we can buy a standard F150 and put 250,000 miles on those cheap shocks without worry, but by golly these high-end top of the line Fox beauties run out of service life in less than half that time? Not buying it. My 2020 with 100,000 miles rides just as good as day one, with zero shock leak. So what gives? Is that just for owners who literally jump theirs every single day?
Listen, these rigs were $70 to $80 grand or more new. Now they are selling used for half that. If you're looking for used but want all the peace of mind that comes with new, good luck. It aint happenin! Do what I do, and automatically budget $10k for repairs over 6 to 8 years. Sounds like a lot but trust me, it pens out. You just saved $40k buying used over new so what's there to complain about? Always love hearing "oh I coulda got one for $40k but they wouldnt throw in a warranty so I walked." What?!?! LOL. You just saved $50 grand-plus on a used example but refuse to put a few bucks into possible repairs?!?!?! Makes sense lol
@@peruser155 Common sense has left the building, actually with most I wonder if it ever entered. I know people who buy a brand new car because it’s “under warranty” because they either A) they don’t want to actually pay out of pocket for repairs or a warranty, but their completely fine taking the new car loss hit.
Do you think purchasing a used Raptor with Gold Certification is a possible safe choice without pre purchase inspection when buying from out of state and having shipped? @f1fiftyjimmy
Ya I would just make sure to see if they would take a video of cold start to make sure there is no cam phaser noise. Check the carfax and if there was any mechanic work done call whoever is listed give them the VIN and they can tell what work was performed. Goodluck man

Thanks bro appreciate it! One day I'll have one of those R's but it's gonna be a little while!
As someone whose shopping for basically your exact truck.... I've been binging all your Raptor videos!
Thanks bro! Good luck on the search!
@@f1fiftyjimmy came back to say I picked up a 2019 802A in black with 48k miles today! Super stoked!
Same here 🥴 I was about to hit the complete a purchase with Carvana of a 2017 with 54k miles for $45k but these videos are making me want to go look for a 2019 instead.
Currently researching/shopping for a Gen 2. Good to hear I don't need to be terribly concerned when I come across Raptors with 100k miles on them
Just get an ESP warranty!
How much can I get that warranty for
My 2018 has Lane Keep Assist. It does not have stop and go, just adaptive cruise control. It does have an electronic parking brake.
I have a 2017 with lane keep assist
Always look forward to a new vid! Also I believe 2017 was the last year for the 6R80 (6 speed transmission).
Thanks bro, appreciate you!
2018 also has lane assist.
Thank you for sharing your experience!

What did you spend for 2017? I have been looking and not sure what good price range is for similar mileage.

Love ur videos bro just got my raptor!
Thanks bro! Congrats these trucks are so much fun!
Wonderinf why you wouldn't mind getting one woth over 100K miles?
Great video, I recently bought a 18.. lucked out I guess it has both the aluminum oil pan and the lane keep assist feature maybe it was a late add to 2018.. Great content!
Ya I was wrong on the lane assist, it was the stop and go feature that the 19’s got. Thanks bro!
19’s didn’t get larger turbos. 18’s up had a ported shroud compressor with higher flowing wheels. I believe that is what you meant.
Why did you take off the Tesla screen ?
Whats the difference between crew cab and super crew cab which is the better one to get
Crew cab is the 4 doors, super crew has the backseat but no doors. I'm always pro crew cab!
What’s ur opinion on oil catch can ?
Did all 2019/2020 models come with the updated cam phasers? Or did it come out after both of those models were in production?
The late 2019's got the updated phasers.
I have a 2020 and I'll hang onto it forever. About 100,000 miles and ZERO problems. And yes it's done "Raptor stuff." Not a peep from the phasers either. Going off of OLM too 🤘
I have lane assist in my 18 same button.
Ya I was incorrect on that, 19 was the first to get the stop and go feature.
Hell wanted*
I’m torn between three trucks
2023 Toyota trd off road 32k miles for 37k
2024 nissan frontier pro 4 x brand new for 39k
2017 ford raptor 100k miles (cam phasers replaced) for 37k
Can’t make my mind up
Life is too short to not have a raptor once! Their such a fun vehicle
My 22 Tacoma TRD PRO was the worst vehicle that I ever owned. Terrible performance,terrible payload (flattened leaf springs at 300 pounds, terrible seats.There is no fun to drive at all in a Tacoma
Get the Raptor! I’m in a 5.7 21 Tundra TRD Pro now, looking to sell for a 2nd gen Raptor as soon as possible.
Is it worth it buying a 2 gen raptor with 90k miles ??
@@joelgonzales8223 ya there’s plenty of people with raptors in those miles. I would just try to see if it’s had cam phasers done
My 2020 has updated phasers (late 2019 got this update from factory) and just turned 100,000 miles and ZERO problems. Drives like new I kid you not. Imo 2019 and 2020 are thee best years of an F150 Raptor, especially late 2019 if you're worried about a possible $3500 valvetrain repair.
Took the radio with the big display out?
What’s ur selection on phone mount for your raptor?
Sorry the description of the video got erased. My exact mount is linked in the description.
My 18 has the electric e brake
Most people were saying the 2019 was the first year but sounds like some later 18’s got it.
