So I'm looking for some input on which Model F150 to get.

I've owned 2 raptors, one with the 5.4 and one with the 6.2. 6.2 was a kick *** motor compared to the 5.4. Well I thought I was ready for a change and picked up a sports car.... Well long story short.. poor choice. Should have kept the truck.

So now I'm on the fence...

Harley Davidson
Limited
Raptor

I like the 6.2 and from what I've seen the ecoboost is a close choice also.

I loved the Raptor, but was looking for better MPG on road trips. Plus some of the refinements of the HD and Limited are nice. I never really played hard with either Raptor so the suspension was kind of a waste on me. But I don't really care for the 22 inch rims. I'd love to have a HD or limited with a 4 inch lift and beefier tires rims. The ones they come with are a little to blingy for me. So do I grab a limited with Ecoboost and turn it into a little more of a offroad truck? I'm thinking if I bought a HD and since it had a 6.2, I'd really just be better off buying another Raptor?

One more thing.. Resale is a biggie for me. I don't tend to own anything for more then a year or two. And both Raptors had solid trade in values since the market was so hot for them. Do any of these three hold value anymore? If so which do you think would hold value better? I see a lot of Raptors these days.. So I'm not counting on as good a deal as I have gotten in the past.

Any input is appreciated. I really can't decide..

 

Just get the XLT and call it a day.

 

And what? Add the features I want? Is that cheaper in the long run?

 

Oh this is a real question?

I'll change my answer, get the Raptor. If you can afford the best and you like the best (clearly since you have had two of them [assuming this is a hidden brag post as well]) then get the best. Nothing further to add.

 

well personally i'd go for the raptor.....suspension waste lol, to me it's not a waste if you like it.

resale? the limited would bring a good resale IMO, its a ****ing limited. the limited is the kinda thing that appeals to me due to rarity (i like a truck that stands out) but its actual styling i'm not overly struck on (on a side note, if I did have a limited, I'd personally keep it until it was of classic/antique age, driving it very little and only in summer, and then see the resale price LMAO!!!). I doubt i'd actually buy one though. the ecoboost is a attractive point IMO as well.

harley davidson? if you're not aware, they aren't available in 2013....but are a nice model that have a decent rarity element and are another one that should get a good resale price. again, It's not something I'd actually want myself, but i'm not you...

raptor? they are the one i'd buy out of your 3 you listed. they're a big, rugged, true 4x4 truck, more the kind of thing I like. a raptor should bring a good resale price, being a somewhat rarer truck with a high original price (and, well, a raptor lol) but I wouldn't count on as high a resale price as a harley or limited for somewhat obvious reasons.

as to engines, the ecoboost is almost as powerful as a 6.2 with a much smaller gas bill (not that I or some others care a huge lot about a reasonable loss of fuel economy as long as I like what I'm driving, but in this case I'd just assume have the ecoboost). I'd love to see an ecoboost raptor myself.

I'd go raptor myself, but the others have attractive features for some like resale value and such. your best bet would be to test drive them and really check them out, and decide which one you'd really like.....when I come across a question like this, I try to give my opinion and reasons and info, but I can't make your decision on your truck, when it comes down to it, you have to decide.

hope I could help .

 

Raptor, I'd be too afraid to dirty or break something on the HD or Limited. That's how it was with my mustang.

 

I agree with xlt guy. I like simple trucks and add all the features i want myself.

But between the 3 i wouldnt want any of them really.

The raptor gets crap mileage so thats a no go to me.

Limited is awd so that also a no go. Bad mileage and more possible problems.

HD only comes with the 6.2 i think. And harley is too flashy for me.

Did you look into the fx series with an appearance package. I think the fx2 is awesome decked out and it has all the options the hd and limited offer. But you can get the ecoboost.

 

agree! out of the OP's list, I'd take the raptor for sure. but personally, I'd rather get a basic truck with a couple options and do it up from there, the way i want.

 

Thanks for the input. Seems folks are leaning towards Raptor. I do like some of the cool options of the hd and limited. I haven't driven either yet. Wish their was a dealer that had all three !!

 

I'd check out the 2013 fx4 with appearance package. Looks great inside and out. Can be lifted with big rims and/or tires and itd be great. You could get an ecoboost in it also.
