- Used Ford Raptor...buyer beware? Why choose Raptor over any other 1/2 ton pickup? Ever wonder about depreciation? Buying a used truck and don't want to lose money? Here's why I bought the raptor...

Ummm because every farmer needs a town truck. Even if it is the most playful truck on the farm.
Folks have to understand that this truck holds it's value more than any other truck after it takes the initial depreciation hit. We all need a good reliable vehicle for sure
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I work in farm appraisal and a previous co-worker who was a farm manager would only drive raptors because a typical 1/2 ton pickup would not stand up to the thousands of miles of bumping and jarring. Good choice for sure.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer great video josh. What trucks are you going to sell?
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer HEY WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE JEEP PROJECT? BRING IT OUTA MOTHBALLS
Great video! I was in the market for a used Raptor for all the reasons you mentioned. My daily driver until recently was my F450 King Ranch. Great truck, but when my equipment transport trailer isn't hooked to it, it rides like a sheet of plywood with a steering wheel, and it gets 10 MPG uphill, downhill, loaded or empty. Which isn't awesome right now! I wound up buying a brand new F150 XLT super cab instead (longer bed with the rear doors that open "backwards") . It was an impulse purchase. My 450 was in for service and I noticed the 150. I was able to borrow that truck for a bit while they worked on my big truck. The thing that made me buy it: The seats! My back has been jacked up for 25 years. My King Ranch truck has amazing seats, but you pay for them! I wasn't expecting much from cloth seats in an XLT F150. I was wrong. The seats in that truck were amazing and I bought it that day, for that reason. Over the last several months, I have been surprised at just how many features a "basic" F150 came with. Rear end locker, Apple Car-Play, Ford Pass, multiple driving and terrain modes, that trailer back up thingy that I don't use, and a 302 V8 that has stupid power, but gets over 20 MPG on the long trips......just to name a few. I have never owned a truck smaller than an F250 before. And I am very pleased with the value of my 2021 F150. The truck was just over 40K brand new, with a very good warranty. It doesn't look as cool as a Raptor. But it's a great truck for the money, and it's brand new for less money than I would have been able to find a good used Raptor for in my area.
Some people may think it’s dumb to use a raptor as a farm truck. I say you’re the first person I’ve seen actually put this extremely capable truck to use.
yep...it is very capable off road
Another great video, buddy, and I am looking forward to many road trips and updates with and about the new truck.
Looks great! Glad you came to PA. Too bad I had the chance to meet the four of you and did not realize it. I would have taken a half day. I can now drive my tractor to them in a few minutes. Hope you had as much fun as when I go there. I can't wait till they get all the shelving in and set up on the main floor completed. The old dump looks pretty good also. I really like the new ford app on my work truck. It really helps on the cold days here.
Nice truck Josh. I'm sure it'll bring you years of enjoyment!
Thank you for giving us your review. Great video, thanks for sharing
I put a Undercover ArmorFlex Hard Folding Truck Bed Tonneau Cover on my truck. Ordered on Amazon, put on myself. I would buy it again with no regrets. It's awesome.
That's the best color. I'm glad they're bringing it back.
Great looking truck! Tons of options, quite a beauty. I don't understand why people would put the lights on anything else than automatic
After you put in your code on the door hit the 5/6 button and it should drop your tail gate automatically, thats what it does on my 19 f250
Congratulations on the new Truck. Very nice. I bet you will be very happy for a long time with it.
I’m not a Ford fan but that’s a really nice truck.
Heck yeah a farmer needs a truck for the farm and a truck for town. Congratulations on a great purchase.
Thanks for sharing. Take care, see ya :)
My brother has had 3 different eco boost trucks. F350 and 2 F150's and he loved all 3
Hello from Minnesota. Congrats on the new truck!
When you absolutely, positively, have to get to the feed store in under 6 seconds! Nice ride brother!!
This is the best Raptor review I’ve seen since researching them. I’m torn between which year is the most reliable but your ‘17 is super clean!
The nice thing about the Ecoboost is that you get that torque from about 1500 RPM.
Awesome truck josh proud to see you got you a everyday driver it’s a sharp truck my friend
Thanks 👍
Nice truck Stoney! It looks brand new. You can't beat the reliability and comfort of these newer trucks and suspension. Can't stand the short beds though. Let me know if you part with any of your older trucks. Take care
Nice truck josh hopefully you get lots of years of fun and use out of her.
I totally get it. I don’t envy you on insuring all those vehicles, but I totally get the desire for them.
shew...me niether...some vehicles are going on the chopping block for sure
Great overview of the Raptor, Josh. Yep - I rode in that truck! Lots of great information about what to look for when looking for a Raptor (or a used truck). I wasn’t considering buying a Raptor until I rode in yours!! - Chad
Should be a dang fine truck. I reduced farm assets a couple of years ago before Covid with a 290 lot auction. Did well: too well. Wife decided "we" should keep the farm and buy more stuff: to replace what I just sold. Anyway, upgraded to new or at least nearly new and pleased with that.I must say that it is nice to open the barn and not see oil leaks under the new tractors,get in the seat and all start right up and purr along.Even the ride on new tractors is better. Crazy.New to me backhoe is 30 years younger than the one I sold. Now that is nice.Expensive,but nice.
Have a friend who has a 2020 ROUSH RAPTOR , as if it wasn't fast enough. It is a very nice truck, have some fun and enjoy it.
I’m not a Ford guy until you get into the bigger trucks, but the raptor is pretty nice. I like to color on it too it’s something I haven’t seen before. That’s pretty cool. Congrats. :)
congratulations on the new truck very nice enjoy thanks for the walk around take care
I always think of tons of reasons why I need stuff.
Josh the best bed cover on the planet is Roll'n Lock. I had one on my tundra and someone spent a good amount of time trying to break into it without success. It is costly i think i paid $1500 installed but cannot remember. It could have been $1k not sure but its been a great investment
I like my Toyota I ain't got no payments but insurance on it and I love it. You got a nice truck and I'm glad you won't have to rack your nerves anymore on long trips way to go brother. I hope you don't have any payments but if so we all have to go there someday sooner or later. My wife and I have been working on getting out of debt and we're almost there, only a few thousand dollars left to go to stomp that debt out. God bless you and yours and good luck with your new truck brother
saved for 2 years ....no payment brotha
Thats a Good looking truck. I just sold mine after three years. sold it for more than I paid for it and put 45k miles on it because of the crazy market. Replaced it with a New Ford f250 Tremor. Made complete since to order new. Came out owing less and in a brand new truck.
Was hear.
Congrats. Needed and bought. Hope it gives you years of service.
Wooooooo!
Congrats on the raptor, is an awesome truck, you gonna love it
Nice ride! Congrats! You deserve a nice going to town rig!!
Awesome truck Josh - happy motoring bud.
Great truck Josh 🇺🇲 I agree 💯 can't wait to see the new shop WOOOOOO 🇺🇲
Beautiful truck bro, I owned a 2500 Dodge Ram Quad Loved it. Good luck
Morning josh that truck is lovely i love the f150s they look so nice i bet they drive even better i love the American vans cars the hemis are allsome you build the best v8s without a doubt and the sound is something else i love the sound of the American v8s cannot be beaten no way.
It's a sharp looking truck... with a bunch of tech...
Have a good evening 🌱🌱🌱
Keep an eye on the turbo's at about 100,000 mi.
Yeah, there is a reason dealerships have shelves stocked with them
@John Beyers the 6.2L V8 should still be a option in those trucks in my opinion
congrats on the purchase excellent video sir.
If the unicorn Yota or Dodge go up on the block because of this purchase, keep me posted! Good luck with your new truck Josh!
both of those are staying unless I loose my mind lol
I hope you loose your mind on the dodge! Haha enjoy all your trucks!
Thank you for the video.
Hey Josh thank you for the video and you for surely do deserve that new truck there you work very hard and you deserve it but I never would have boughten the Ford raptor because I would have boughten the Toyota and I guarantee you that Toyota will outlive that but to each his own and I wish you the very best luck with it
I just bought a 2017 in Avalanche like yours. It came with the black bead lock wheels though, I love it.
Shifting hard? Sunroof working right? How's your power steering...whinning? My steering wheel looks like it was cleaned with brake cleaner....when you start your's does it rattle for about 2 seconds? I love the look...but can't stand the nuances that are prematurely wearing
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer thankfully I haven’t had these except for the start up rattle. I noticed a pulley or belt noise at idle though.
My go to truck!
Beautiful ride Josh.
My wishlist truck...am an American truck junkie....I am currently driving a 2002 ford explorer....working towards getting a ford F-250 XLT... watching from Ndola Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
Love the color and te fact it doesn't have all the dorky stickers all over it
Beautiful truck. Congratulations.
Holy crap did you loose a ton of weight? Haven't been watching for more than a year, thought you where a different person at first. Hope it's the good kind of weight loss, stay safe bruth
Do you know about the 3.5L ecoboost cam phaser recall? Rattles on start up. Service action 21B10.
I’ve heard of those as well. Did Ford agree to fix that under the bulletin?
6 months ago I picked up a 2017 nissan Titan. A great deal , under $30grand, and still has warranty. Needed a more reliable truck rather than my 22 year old Nissan frontier
exactly man....both my other trucks are over 21 years old
I think the 4 full door F150 is called a crew cab, and Supercab ones with the smaller back door.
I think it's called the supercrew
I'm about to return my 2000 Xterra to being a daily driver. Going to be running back and forth from TN to NC about every weekend. Truck has 367k on it, thought the engine is sitting at about 90k. Debating on getting a newer truck, but money.
Looking at doing the same thing- the 17/18 is a sweet spot in 2022. Debating on this or a new RAM. Thanks for the video!
New Ram.....$70k and losing money driving off the lot....used Raptor.....$55k and will never be worth less than $40k.....new ram 1500 in 6 years will go from $70k to $20k. That's why I bought Raptor my brotha
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I just picked up a 2019 supercab Raptor. It's amazing!
Are y’all confident in the V6 put in the 2017’s? Been looking at one and nervous as I’ve only owned Tundra’s.
Hi Josh I love my 2021 F150 XLT . I lease for 3 years and if it's dependable I will buy it for less than what I can get one off the lot.
Also .. don't make it a habit of leaving your key inside your truck reason 1 the Ford truck has a weak door handle that thieves have figured out how to break into the trucks.. example: Matt from demolition ranch had his F-350 broken into and they stole his computer and other items because of this door handle design... Reason 2 this truck has a perimeter sensors that recognize when you come close to the truck and you have your key in your pocket if you leave the key in the truck it will always think that you are near and never fully go to sleep "possibly" causing a battery draw in the electrical system!! I'm not trying to tell you what to do.. it's just things that I have run into as a Ford technician.. take this advice and do with it as you please😃😃😃
I just don’t see these keeping there value once the supply chain issues are worked out. It’s the older v8s that are worth money.
Raptor...that's all it has to say....Raptor...not effected by this supply shortage...it will still hold it's value..RAPTOR my brotha
Lol no one is gonna want to buy your pos 5.4 😂
Josh, something I've found is the hand sanitizer will ruin the 'chrome' finish in a ford (looks like the bottom of your steering wheel). I'm not sure why it happens to ford but it does. My RAM has had several drops of sanitizer on the chrome finish and it still looks perfect.
yep....I agree....so will Deep Woods Off....I make sure my hands are totally dry before touching things...new steering wheel is on the way fyi
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer thanks for the tip on deep woods. I use it and I’ll be careful!
just for fun. it's exciting to get a new vehicle thanks for sharing! i have a car for life theory. knock on wood. Diesel Jetta.
just had 90% block of ice intercooler hose off the turbo. sha-shing!!
Great video and an absolutely beautiful truck. I have only one question. Did you get a lifetime supply of Kool Aid with it? I enjoy all your videos and have been watching since you started your channel. You do a great service to all who have an interest in farming and / or getting started in farming.
Josh I am not a Ford guy but I gotta say that's a nice truck.
Bigger question..who was driving it???????????? 1:07
🤣🤣🤣 i love how all the switches and the dimmer is "very very cool" but the radio meh " it's okay"
Man that looks better than my new Tundra..Makes me wish I had waited and looked for one of these.
I shopped for 2 years before I found the right deal
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Your patience paid off for you..
The tundra will outlive that raptor and maintenance will be cheaper on Toyota
Missing bolts and fasteners are good signs that it has had some off road playtime.
Look into installing a catch can system for that motor.
Looks new. Good buy.
In Australia you’d pay well over $100k for a used F series Ford truck that is less than ten years old.
That truck here in the US brand new is probably about 70k USD
Every farm needs a Lamborghini
wouldn't quite call it that my friend
Lamborghini makes tractors! Started as a tractor manufacturer and continues to make them.
Raptor is the only performance car in a farm
POWWWAA! - Clarkson
My 2019 F150 King Ranch is awesome, and has the 3.5 Ecoboost. What a great engine! The 10-speed auto tranny, though, is another story. Enjoy!
Have you had bad luck with the tranny? Ive heard good things about them
" the transmission and it helped for a bit. It mainly happens on downshifts, if you are coasting down the road coming up to a stop. Always happens with gears 4 or 5. My good friend is the service director at the dealership and says he hears complaints daily about hard shifts. Other than that one thing, the truck is awesome.
it does shift hard at low speeds...mostly if in sport mode
Nice purchase!
Sharp truck,I love it. My dream truck.
It's nice but hopefully all that technology don't screw up cause it's expensive to fix
Scott Kilmer is the man to watch and ask on TH-cam. Over 50years now he has been a auto mechanic
Josh, that's a real nice truck however don't back into something and brake the tail light lens .. that could cost you upwards of $1500. To replace .. just some info for you to chew on and it's not just the Raptor all F150 led lights are $$$$
Awesome truck brother
That’s not bad MPG. I averaged 23MPG in a Nissan Rouge on a trip to NYC
Great review, much mahalos.
mahalo!
Totally agree with you. Nice truck!
Enjoy it bud, you deserve it
Maybe they have the bugs out of the 'Ford App' but another TH-camr, Steve Lehto, (he is a lawyer in Mi) was talking about the App. He had bought a new Explorer and got the App. He said he loved it until he had a low tire. Yes the App alerted that the tire was low, and always alerted that the tire was low ever after. No matter what. He found it was a common problem with the App and he uninstalled it. Ford either couldn't or wouldn't fix it.
interesting for sure
Can we get an update on how the raptor is doing
Woo! Love this channel
thank you!
How many miles did it have!? She’s a beauty
I'm not a fan of the ecoboot engines just from a maintenance stand point. And the fake engine noise annoys me. But that's what's cool about trucks I found the one I like and you found the one you like.
not sure about "fake" engine noise....mine makes it's own noise lol.....no more maintenance than any other engine..other than changing the coolant more often I'm told
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer i was told the direct injection requires cleaning and te turbos require maintenance. And yes they do put a fake v8 engine noise over the speakers at high rpm. There are programmers out there which will turn that off. I believe its available over forscan which is cheap to use to enable and disable certain features in the software. I had to enable a bit to slow the blinkers when I went to LED. But yeah thats why they make options! Everyone can get the truck they want
Was wondering if you still have this truck, after owning this truck what is your overall thoughts on it? More specifically about the power train it self? Any issues?
Stupid cam phaser issue is back, $3500 fix, sunroof plastic fell apart, transmission shifts like an Indy car....but it's super fun to drive!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmerThank you for the update. In hindsight would you still have bought it?
ford calls the other cab supercab. great video thanks dude
I just purchased mine for 32k w/ 98k miles 2 previous owners w/ 802a package . I love it
Super crew, beadlock wheels, pano moonroof, 360 camera, integrated tail gate step w/ bar handle. Have everything except carbon fiber package and ford driving technology which is lane assist keep. Best purchased I’ve made in 2023
In control of your own the inside and computers like the space shuttle trying to drive around too much computer for me have fun with it though
I love you Ford Raptor and the rest of your trucks can you please video on your trucks only
Are going to keep it in garage when you get the New shop bluid
I sure hope so
Nice truck Josh
Would like to see a video of you’re mountain bike setup sometime
soon more mountain bike vids are coming brotha! on the trail monkey bike channel...be sure you're subscribed
The Raptor released in America looks far more sexier than the Raptor released here in Australia.
It’ll be later this year when they release the new model with the V6 & look similar to this.
What a deal !
Congratulations…
Nice looking truck kind of like the new Ford Maverick truck but larger, but I would buy a larger bed. New big size trucks are expensive.
I think the Maverick is based on the ranger platform.....no long bed option on a raptor my friend
The Raptor is too overpriced for me. I see that as useful on my farm as a sports car. I want a truck to handle a load and the weight. For long trips would be a smaller vehicle with a more efficient engine. Gas prices are only going up. I have my Jeep Cherokee sport for that and my 05 F150 for the farm.
In 10 years this truck will be worth nearly what I paid for it...in 10 years a regular f150 will be worth 5-8 grand
Josh I hate to be a smart guy but in 10 years gas will be crazy expensive and electric trucks will rule the world 😊
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer That is absolutely true. A big part of making decisions about vehicles is how long the driver plans to keep them. I still have the first F250 I bought in high school. It has over half a million miles on it. That truck, today, is worth about $27.94.......But if I were to buy a similar truck brand new? Yeah, you get the picture.
Alot of the ranchers around here use Raptors on the ranch. The upgraded suspension and higher ground clearance help alot. The regular trucks just can't hold up most of the time, but the beefy suspension of the Raptor helps alot. Great video
Nice truck. You deserve a nice truck. You work hard.
Nice truck!
