2011 raptor?
Question for the raptor guy's, I have a possible deal on a loaded 2011 with around 19,000 to 20,000 miles.
Were there any problem's or anything i should check or worry about on the early truck's?
Any help would be appreciated.

That year was the 6.2L and not much as far as I know has changed. Most common check is to get underneath and check real good if its been off-road. The rear frame was strengthen in later years due to whoops and jumping issues so check if its bent. If its on mid perch than it probably has a better chance that it was used for off-roading. Take it to a mechanic too

I had an '11 Raptor Supercab, only issue I ever had was the driveshaft "clunk" issue.
The driveshaft was replaced under a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) that was issued by Ford, had it done when the truck had less than 10000 km (6000 miles) on it .
Drove it to 50000 km with no further problems.
I'm guessing if there had been an issue, the previous owner might have addressed it, but if you're looking at one, definitely take it for a test drive.
Otherwise, go for it, the Raptor is so sweet your face will hurt from the permanent grin thats on it every time you fire it up.

Update on the powder puff lol. After waiting 5 week's it was a work truck with 40k on it an pretty rough shape. So i bit the bullet an instead of looking longer an traveling i bought local. A loaded 14 RR SE. Not my prefered color but i bought it cheaper at Machens than i could of anywhere else. They are a volume dealer. And it helpes when they want you to have the truck lol.

Congrats! Man...every time I look at my black raptor with black wheels...i say...Hmmm too much black...maybe I should've gone ruby red or blue flame (I won't do anything but black wheels)...lol...I've done this with every car or truck I've ever bought and always ended up with black or dark gray...but RR is a beautiful color and at the top of my list when I was looking.
