Just got my 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor... Worth it?

Just picked up my 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor! The old truck’s on the left, the new one’s on the right. Couldn’t be happier with the decision! No regrets at all.

Wait, your old truck is the same year as the new one?! That’s crazy.

You can’t go wrong with either one, man. Welcome to the Raptor life. That truck is amazing. Giving a thumbs-up from Raptor Land up in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. Winter is already here!!

Thanks a lot! And oh heck yes! Greetings from northern Alberta :wave:t2::raised_hands:t2:! Not too excited for -50C temps coming our way this year though.

That’s a sick picture of the truck!

Thanks so much!

Taking the Raptor out in fresh powder is a blast.

Congrats! You picked it up on the perfect day. Do you get much snow where you are?

Thanks! Yeah, we just got our first snowfall this past weekend. It snows pretty regularly here from November to late April, sometimes even into May. And the cold… it gets crazy. Last year, we hit -48C (-54F) around Jan/Feb. I work off-season as a Wildland firefighter supervisor in the oil fields, so it gets pretty rough in the winter.

Good luck with it! Hope it treats you well.

Beautiful truck! But I gotta ask… did you take a hit with depreciation on it? I mean, I support it but wow, that’s gotta hurt.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t as bad as I thought! The hit wasn’t too bad, and honestly, I can deal with it. Oil field money will have me covered by the end of the year, haha.

Congrats! How long did you have the Lariat, and what made you trade it for the Raptor?

Thanks! I had the Lariat since late August 2024, so just under 3 months. The main reason I switched? These trucks will only get more expensive starting in January here in Canada. Plus, the 2025 Raptors are losing some features, like the door keypad buttons. Ford’s gonna make those a dealer-installed option for about $450, which is just silly. Honestly though, I’ve always wanted a Raptor, like a lot of people, and when the numbers lined up, I just went for it!

Are those 35s or 37s on the Raptor?

That underbody is gonna take a beating :grimacing:
