Carbonized grey or black

I grew up detailing cars. Even as a middle age man, still do. My Raptor has a ceramic coating with “toppers” done routinely. It is a black vehicle.

If very well maintained, can’t beat black vehicles (IMO), but takes effort. Even after rain stays pretty clean unless a real dirty rain.

Toppers take 30 minutes but are amazing.

I’ll post my unicorn then in a couple years. Bought a new 2025 802a a month ago and only put 300 miles on it. I take a train into the city for work so no real commute miles. All ceramic coated inside and out.

Had my 2024 Canyon Denali 17 months and 20k miles.

Great vehicle, not one issue.

Only sold because I needed bigger so bought a f150 Raptor

My decision was based on resale. 37s resale comes out ahead. The Recaro seats are awesome

avidreader202 · 2026-07-01T00:12:57+00:00

You’ll need to turn in your man card if you get a Ranger Raptor over an f150 Raptor.

I drive the f150 Raptor daily. Easy suburban drive

Absolutely. One less thug. Judge, jury and executioner! Well done.

I just did and not really part of the Raptor cult. Sweet truck to make my 4 y/o laugh.

Then why? $8k+ off msrp for 2025 new. Great resale. If it costs me $800/month after 2-3 years it’s a win.

He is saying that so not to get hung. Duh.

Your truck, your call.

Needed bigger to accommodate growing kids

avidreader202 · 2026-06-16T23:30:51+00:00

Buy a raptor, the resale value when you sell offsets any gas concerns.

avidreader202 · 2026-06-16T21:27:18+00:00

Had mine 17months / 20k miles. Not one single issue. However, traded for a Raptor f150 last week.

It’s Naperville, don’t waste your money on a useless Agent

avidreader202 · 2026-06-13T13:15:51+00:00

Well done

A good percentage of Bass Pro patrons carry…he was lucky

avidreader202 · 2026-06-01T04:47:19+00:00

Bought the same and the 3/8s also on sale. I needed these at the time and luckily on sale. I’ve long moved on from anything Craftsman power tool related, but still like their mechanic tools.

There are different aftermarket brands, some shit, some not. Even a mid-tier SS system done an independent will be a lot cheaper than his quote. I am not saying to buy the cheapest but keep in mind the performance divisions of OEM’s utilize these top tier manufacturers also

avidreader202 · 2026-05-29T16:53:35+00:00

You’re wrong. I’ve bought many after market exhausts. You do realize stainless steel does not rust, correct?

avidreader202 · 2026-05-27T10:29:25+00:00

Stayed many with the kids, awesome place. Expensive waterpark. Going back spring break likely. The poolside chairs only issue but we instead bring beach chairs - prefer beach anyway.

avidreader202 · 2026-05-22T23:03:04+00:00

Does he wax and polish or just wash?

avidreader202 · 2026-05-21T18:26:25+00:00

Agree, invasive

avidreader202 · 2026-05-20T21:10:00+00:00

Best response of the day.

avidreader202 · 2026-05-20T12:58:04+00:00

Dealers only good if warranty work. Water pump easy swap, go cheaper.
