2017 Used Raptor

I saw this today. Hard to believe. Only 550 miles. he wants $10k over sticker. Someone might be able to make a deal with this guy. I still want one, but I'll wait. There's nothing wrong with my truck.

Very interesting perspective that he provided in the ad. I suspect that many who went from gen 1 to gen 2 will experience buyer remorse. I know I did when I went from 6.2 to ecoboost, and then right back to 6.2.

Raptor is nice and all but for the money I don't get all the fuss. It has a ton of stuff (even more than my Lariat) that will never be utilized. Kind of like people getting so excited over the new generation of smart phones.

We used to say " It's a Jeep thing and if I have to explain, you wouldn't understand anyway...."....
Now we can add Raptor to that..

If you never go offroad, you'd never utilize the vehicle to even a fraction of its potential... if you put the Raptor side by side with the Lariat or even the Limited, you'd see that other than some very basic elements there is no comparison..

I,totally understand the truck just not why so many people go crazy over them but won't ever use them for what they're built for. Even most people off road won't take advantage of what the truck is for - except maybe the guy that jumped his 60' and totaled it.
