It's ridiculous what people pay for a used ( or new ) raptor.

I just watched a spider dominate a fly on the wall outside, i thought would would travis do? and i did the opposite, spider lives!
Just looked at my truck on kbb, private party resale for the eco-boost is $37.9 vs 5.0 is $35.9, incidentally that is more than I paid for my truck new even with 40k miles on it now.
I bought mine in October 2012 from Champion Ford in Katy, they were dumping the 2012's at the time and had quite a few sitting on the lot, the price quoted from the online sales guy was lower than anyone else before I even haggled with them.
What was the sticker and what did you pay? Not including ttl, if you don't mind.

MSRP was $44,260
I dont remember exactly what I paid, it was $31.something, the quote they gave originally was $33,362 via email. The price was easy, getting them to give me what I wanted for my trade-in, took a little more doing.
That's pretty good, without a trade-in I'm figuring to get 10-11k off sticker, hopefully.

I don't know how accurate KBB is anymore. Trade in values they suck at, but I wonder if Private Party values are realistic?
If you're not going to keep it for long, why not buy used? Buying with resale in mind is dumb. My truck will be a ragged out piece of **** with a bajillion miles on it when I'm done with it so trim level and engine probably won't matter to whatever Mexican I sell it to.
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
dodge HD interior upgrades happened in 2010. I have the first year. They fall apart still. the brand new ones are only slightly nicer because of the bigger screen I couldn't tell anything different other than that. Coil sprung rear in a 2500 is interesting. curious how that works out.

I noticed that the other day. Curious how much it squats with a pallet of concrete.
The biggest upside the the conversion to full airbags just got easier, or you add the helper bags like Fred has on his Tahoe, they just fit inside of the coils.
edit: Research shows that 1 tons get airbags.

That's almost like Cadillacs that come with stop leak in the cooling system from the factory.

Anyone have any real world Ecoboost mileage numbers? My only stories are from a former co worker saying it had plenty of balls for towing, but mpg was less then 10, and that everyday mpg was not what was advertised. His towing was a basic 2 axle with a Mule on it out to LLano. Pulled a huge 38' bumper travel trailer a few times and got like 7mpg. I don't tend to worry that much about towing MPGs as there are plenty of factors, but I am thinking a truck like that, being advertised like it is, should be in the low 20s on hwy
I still get 13/15.5 in my 10 yr old F150 5.4 with 3.55s, 35s, 250k, and a boat anchor up front.
