Ford Raptor...buyer beware? Why choose a USED RAPTOR over any 1/2 ton other pickup?

What happens here

Josh delves into why a Raptor might be a smart purchase, especially for a used vehicle. He emphasizes that buying a used Raptor (like his 2017 model) means the biggest depreciation hit has already occurred. He notes that this truck was purchased from his 62-year-old uncle, ensuring it was well-maintained and never abused (not mud-holed, jumped, or 'beaten on'). He highlights the importance of having full maintenance records and inspecting for signs of previous abuse when buying any used truck.

Goal: Understand the financial and practical advantages of buying a used Raptor.
