Do people not get good mileage with these? I’m coming from a Silverado 1500 that’s been amazing. Hoping the Raptor can do the same but with more fun!

I’d assume most people do, but I don’t have a car myself yet. Just wishing OP the best with his new Raptor!

Got it. Hope you find something awesome soon!
@Kim
Avoid 2017-2018 models. I had a 2017 and spent over $35k on repairs in the first year. Luckily, warranty covered it, but it was in the shop constantly. Hoping this Gen 3 holds up better because I love driving it too much to have it stuck in the shop!
@Merit
Thanks for the heads-up. I’ve been eyeing 2019-2022 models but will definitely avoid 2018. Extended warranty is a must.

Go for 2021 or newer. They’ve got lots of tech that can go bad, so get the Ford extended warranty. I paid $1,200 for full coverage up to 100k miles, bought through Granger or Flood. Totally worth it.

Thanks, I’m excited for what’s to come!
Great-looking truck! I’m planning to get one soon. Love that silver, along with avalanche and antimatter blue.

I wanted antimatter blue at first, but I rarely see iconic silver where I live. Once I saw it, I fell in love. It’s such a clean color.
@Merit
I had AMB, and while it looked amazing, it was so high maintenance. Silver is a great choice—enjoy it!
@Merit
Funny enough, my last three cars were silver. I’ve been waiting patiently for a Gen 3 and plan to get one after the holidays.

You can’t go wrong with any color, honestly. I do miss the Gen 2 front end, but everything else about this Gen 3 is perfect.
Silver is the best! I’ve got the same color and year.

Silver really shows off the lines of the Raptor and is easier to keep clean. 2022 is a great year for features and build quality too!

Does your ‘22 have the heated steering wheel, or was that removed?

It does! Heated steering wheels were removed for ‘23 models. Also, no auto start/stop, which I absolutely love.

Yep, 2022 has the heated steering wheel, no auto start/stop, and the Torsen differential, which they replaced with electronic brake control in 2023+ models.
@Madden
Couldn’t agree more—it’s perfectly spec’d and has everything I wanted.
