In today's video, I introduce you to my (new to me) 2017 Ford F150 RAPTOR!! A DEAM Truck for many (myself included) and something I never expected to own. I give you a walk-around of the new truck, first driving impressions, and explain how I bought it (and how much I paid). I'm a car guy at heart, but this truck has scratched an itch I never knew I had! Let's go!
The used Truck Market is still crazy in 2025, but I managed to find a reasonably priced diamond in the rough! Over the last several months, I had been looking to buy a good used truck that I would (hopefully) enjoy driving. I was discouraged to find that even "regular traffic" trucks were more money than I was willing to spend. Then one lucky night, I stumbled across THIS Ford Raptor. in Avalanche Grey with the 802A package..a truck I had never even considered. Me buying a Ford Raptor?! Nonsense! Well...the price was right and this truck checked ALL of my boxes. So I made a deal, and now own a freaking ford raptor...I'm still in shock.
After a lot of research, I found that owning an Ecoboost Raptor has a lot of pro's, but also it's cons. Cam Phaser issues, IWE issues, Moonroof problems, transmission shifting issues etc. So I give you my thoughts on that and why for the first time in my life, I'll probably buy a warranty. All business aside, owning a truck as nice as this still seems like a dream. After all, I'm used to making most of my cars nice buy getting parts at the junkyard. Needless to say, I'm so pumped and feel like I got a LOT of truck for the money.
Do you like the Raptor? Should I make more videos on the truck? I'm leaving that up to you guys. Happy to make car content, but also happy to target my inner "truck guy" to make this Raptor even better.
Thanks for watching!
