I’ve been driving F150s for years and always admired Raptors. My local dealership just listed a 2019 Raptor with 90k miles for $48,500. It’s a one-owner truck, meticulously maintained, with no major scratches or dings, and even the skid plates are pristine. The tires are brand new, too.
I know 90k isn’t considered high mileage these days, but I grew up in a time when 100k was a big deal. I also travel 600 miles every summer with my kids, so reliability is a big concern for me. It just feels weird to spend that much on a truck with this many miles.
Can anyone convince me it’s worth it or share thoughts on what I should look out for with this truck?
These trucks start having issues before 90k miles, but people tend to ignore them because they’re under warranty or because they’re considered high-performance vehicles. Honestly, if you can’t afford it new, you might not want to deal with the costs of owning one used.
If you can get a long-term warranty, that might change things, but that’s going to cost you more money too.

I’ve owned both a Gen1 and Gen2, and I’ve had zero issues with either. They’re fantastic trucks—reliable and easy to fix if anything does go wrong.

That’s solid advice, but I think if you’re handy with repairs, owning a high-mileage Raptor can be manageable. Personally, I wouldn’t pay $48k for one with 90k miles. I’d rather spend a bit more for lower mileage or go for a well-maintained Gen1.
That price is insane for 90k miles. I sold my 2018 with only 8k miles for $55k last year. You should not be paying $48k for a truck with that many miles.

I picked up a 2018 with 83k miles recently. It was a one-owner truck, meticulously maintained. I bought an extended warranty (4 years, 48k miles) just in case the cam phasers become an issue.
It’s my first Raptor, and coming from Jeeps, this is the most comfortable and enjoyable vehicle I’ve ever owned.
If this is your dream truck, go for it. Life’s too short. The 3.5 EcoBoost is solid if the cam phasers have been replaced and it’s been well-maintained. I bought my 2019 with 77k miles, and it’s been great. I also got an extended warranty up to 125k miles for peace of mind.
At 90k miles, you’ll want to ask a few questions: Have the cam phasers been replaced? Have the shocks been rebuilt? Any issues with the moonroof? Also, check what package it has. If you can add an extended warranty, that might help with peace of mind.
I’ve owned both a Gen2 and now a Gen3, and the Gen3 is miles ahead in comfort, tech, and suspension. If you’re coming from a Silverado, you might notice fewer reliability issues with Ford compared to Chevy’s lifter and cylinder issues. That said, I do think Chevy makes a great-looking truck.
I bought a 2019 fully loaded with 60k miles for $53k. It had two previous owners but great service records. No issues so far, and it’s been a great truck.

Still running well? Did you get an extended warranty?
I wouldn’t spend $48k on a truck with 90k miles. You’re getting close to the cost of a newer one with fewer miles, especially when you factor in taxes and financing.
