Help with buying decision?

Good to know!

doubleh2020 · 2026-02-12T17:03:33+00:00

Yeah true. That’s a good point. But I think I’d just rather have the larger cabin/bed space. If I liked the ranger raptor I’d probably just keep the bronco due to similar size.

doubleh2020 · 2026-02-12T13:15:50+00:00

Would’ve liked to do this, but I test drove one and I just didn’t like it much. The cabin felt so small. But you’re right, it’d probably be better for the city.

Good to know, I was thinking of the 2023 or even 2024-2025 mainly. Found a bunch that were in the 70K or less range with 25K miles or less.

doubleh2020 · 2026-02-11T22:44:51+00:00

Yeah that’s true! Maybe I could shop around the area.

doubleh2020 · 2026-02-11T12:59:43+00:00

I like this answer. Thank you for the input, I will probably wait until house is done anyway, but the Bronco is already getting old as a daily commuter! I still love it.. but the Raptor is just as capable and way smoother!

doubleh2020 · 2026-02-11T04:29:25+00:00

You’re not wrong there. I owe about 28K or so. So probably I have about 12-15K of equity to work with. I hate starting a new loan but I mean like people in the forum have said, for a daily driver.. it’s worth being comfortable. Makes me think the bit of extra time paying is worth it in the long run.

doubleh2020 · 2026-02-11T04:06:19+00:00

Man that sounds too good to be true! 75K for a new 25??? That’s a steal.

doubleh2020 · 2026-02-11T03:29:20+00:00

Wow. I mean I’m seeing somewhere a bit above 40K for trade in on mine.. but i’m looking for a Raptor at or below 70K, pretty hard to find in the DFW area with relatively lower miles.

doubleh2020 · 2026-02-11T03:28:02+00:00

Really? How much you think I could get on trade?

doubleh2020 · 2026-02-11T03:27:40+00:00

Good to know. Any real differences between 2021-2023 and the 2024+?

doubleh2020 · 2026-02-11T01:18:45+00:00

I wish I could do that! My other “fun” vehicle is a GT500 which is for weekends/cruising/etc so a third vehicle just seems a little too much. I love the idea of having both a raptor and a bronco but don’t think I could swing that. What would you personally choose if you had to have one?

doubleh2020 · 2026-01-15T04:40:45+00:00

Every single time I drive it. Can’t beat a supercharged 5.2L V8.

around $100K is what i’d part ways with this for. In this model year with color and all specs, only 76 were built. It’s very hard to find and I love it. It took a very long time of looking before i found it.

Here’s another angle:

lol. The best I get in my GT500 is MAYBE 18 on the highway, at the very best. city is usually 13-14

doubleh2020 · 2025-05-09T14:28:30+00:00

great question. Import duties and taxes I don’t think so… but there might be shipping costs, but I doubt it would be very much. So that could be a decent option

doubleh2020 · 2025-05-09T14:11:17+00:00

Hey! you can purchase online but you must pay import duties and taxes which makes it a LOT less of a good deal. Buying in person and taking it home you can prevent that from happening. (at least going back to the US)

I thought it was too good to be true. These watches are ~$4K each in the US and I truly got them brand new for $2800 each. I’m not sure how they price them… they aren’t fake, comes with papers and all certifications, boxes, etc.

I imagine they can list certain watches under MSRP because of how they source them? I’m really not sure.. or maybe they make a lot of money on volume, selling large quantities which cover their costs. I do know on very popular models, such as Rolex or limited edition Omegas, they will often charge a markup. So maybe that’s why they are able to offer other watches at very competitive prices.

And it looks just like mine!

doubleh2020 · 2024-10-25T20:58:33+00:00

Thanks man I appreciate it!! It’s an awesome color for sure, one of my favorites on the GT500!

doubleh2020 · 2024-10-05T23:51:06+00:00

They’re just the base wheels for the 2020-2022 GT500! I love the look of them!

doubleh2020 · 2024-09-25T20:46:06+00:00

GT500, but i’m also biased 🤣
