Amazing truck My dad has a '16 5.0 and i've spent a lot of time driving it and it's great. I've spent time with it in downtown Chicago and it doesn't feel it's size. I like them. I'm looking at this one on Thursday on my way back from Chicago. I've already negotiated a price so hopefully it looks as it should and I buy it. https://www.boucherfordmenomoneefalls.com/used-Menomonee+Falls-2018-Ford-F+150-XLT-1FTEW1EP9JKC19917 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelBlue Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Anyone do an film photography? Picked up pretty mint Pentax K1000, already shot a roll through it. Interested to see the results. I guess this is WIBOOMERS, so some of you probably shot film without choice. Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that, you know damn well it will hold its value unlike the F150. @patsbimmer1 Rekpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and it has to be within 4 model years to qualify for the allowance from work. Rekpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REKIII Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Congrats on the new job! I do enjoy the Raptors. I was very close to replacing my Gen1 with an F250. Wife won out and I now have a '17 Gen2. They are fun trucks, but nothing really more than a cool looking F150 (which are pretty cool looking in their own right). There are constant rumors about putting the Mustang V8 into the raptor, if and only if that happens will Gen2 raptos really take a resale tumble. It's stupid how well they retain their value. patsbimmer1 and Jdesign 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris3 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Congrats on the new gig! I've been impressed with my 2012 f150 xlt with the 5.0. Granted I'm coming from an 03 Tundra. Tows great, comfortable, and better mileage. patsbimmer1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got everything I wanted in a truck other than the tailgate step ladder but I suppose my knees can hold out for a bit longer and I'll roll my fat ass in the bed. Funny thing about the raptor is my wife is 100% on board and says it's the only truck she'd drive but the practicality just isn't there for me to drive one every day. Maybe her next vehicle...

patsbimmer1 Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 So I bought that truck on Thursday and put about 200 miles on it Friday for work. I like it a lot! The navigation is really intuitive but I'll probably use the Android auto or Apple carplay most of the time. The 2.7 got about 24mpg and I'm hoping to average 20-22 mpg with this thing. I'm happy with the purchase so far but did cry a little bit when I pulled up to a customer and he had a brand new Raptor supercrew in the same color as my truck sitting outside the shop with a 2" leveling kit and brand new Nitto ridgegrapplers. Someday... Jdesign and Rekpoint 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungCR Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Android Auto and Car Play make me want a new car. I really enjoyed the Fusion I rented earlier this year, the new Sync system is good on its own too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is NOT how you lift or modify a Raptor. KaiserRolls and patsbimmer1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
