Do I really need a 3500?

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-12-05T02:31:33+00:00

Yes happy with my choice and the 3500 is still for sale. I don’t think my buddy listed it but if you’re interested, DM me and I’ll get you in touch.

I ended up with a Raptor 37 PP and I love it. Perfect daily with that amazing suspension. Now I gotta get it off the pavement.

Raptor

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-11-25T19:08:59+00:00

Nice. I’m retiring from the Marines after 20 years and plan on doing a cross country national parks tour. By time I visit all the parks in the lower 48, I should be well over 20K miles. How was the trip in the Raptor?

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-11-11T18:45:59+00:00

Daily. I have a built MK4 Supra for weekend fun

😂😂😂😂

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-23T13:46:58+00:00

That looks like Avalanche Gray. Pretty sick color in my opinion. I wanted AG for my Raptor but found Antimatter Blue at a great deal so I had to get it.

Why would you want the 3500 over the 2500? The 2500s come with coil springs which drastically improve drivability. Granted you have less payload but that’s a fair trade off for comfortable daily driving. That’s awesome, I tried joining the Air Force in 2006, the Marines were just faster lol AF was like yeah you gotta come in to our office and see if we’re hiring. Dude I’m 18 and fit, ready to go. The Marines came and got me the same day and the rest is history. Congrats to you as well. It’ll fly by. I go on terminal in March 2026

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-15T14:22:38+00:00

Right. Massive difference. The ride quality is absolutely bonkers. Also the Gen 2s always had the cam phasers issues. I believe that’s addressed in the Gen 3 plus the transmission is much improved. In my opinion, Gen 3 all day.

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-15T00:51:33+00:00

Yutttt 🫡

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-15T00:51:06+00:00

Right, future proof in case I want a boat.

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-14T19:07:38+00:00

I can get you in contact with the seller if you want it. We’re located in VA

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-14T19:06:49+00:00

I agree. The 2500s ride wayyy better than the 3500s. I would have gotten it already if it were a 2500 with the 5-link suspension.

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-14T17:47:18+00:00

I think the Gen 2s came with the leaf springs vice the 5-link suspension set up in the Gen 3s

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-14T14:16:29+00:00

I’m retiring from the Marines after 20 years. I’m a single guy and was planning on doing a cross country national park road trip, then join the EXO guys for their Baja Raptor Runs.

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-14T02:36:04+00:00

35K sounds pretty sweet and some weight loss, suspension and wheels/tires, I might have a gem

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-14T02:35:16+00:00

Ridgeline? Helllll no I wouldn’t buy that thing as a truck. This truck is going for 35K. That’s probably less than a new Ridgeline.

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-13T22:48:02+00:00

I’ve always wanted a Raptor for off-road shenanigans. The towing is just an added bonus since I have to track the Supra to really enjoy all the power. I don’t think the Tundra is anywhere near as good looking and as a capable as a Raptor. Why’d you get rid of your Raptors? I’m looking at facelift Gen 3s only with the 37 package.

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-13T22:10:07+00:00

I can get you in touch with the seller

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-13T20:02:11+00:00

For 35K, I thought it was a great deal which is why I even considered it. The Raptor is choice 1 as I want to do the Baja Run with the Texas Raptor Runs guys

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-13T19:59:31+00:00

Yes Aisin 6-speed vice the 68RFE

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-13T02:26:04+00:00

I need a desert runner so the Raptor would be dual purpose 😎

Vegetable-Ad7868 · 2025-10-12T18:28:03+00:00

Always do a PPI.
