20 vs 21 Raptor differences
Hi all! Upgrading my 2010 F150 XLT I bought brand new. 256k miles now and time to get the Raptor! I am torn between the 20 and 21 models.. Besides the technology upgrades on the dash and entertainment center, are there any differences? are the cam phases still a concern?

Just got a 2020 Raptor. No cam phaser issue because they fixed the problem late 2019.
Personally I stayed away from any 2021(Covid truck)!!!
Look it up. 2020 is the sweet spot for Gen2. Best looking truck too. Tech is definitely better in the 21 but you can get the head unit exactly like the new truck for around 2k.
Good luck!
