    Hi Everyone,

    Well, the time has come to trade up to a full size truck. LOVED everything about my Taco, except the space for our growing family (2 kids & a dog). We needed a bigger cabin.

    I agonized for months over the decision. Test drove the Ram, Tundra and various F150s. Decided on Ford and pulled the trigger on a Leadfoot Gray Raptor. Paid sticker price, but got $29,500 trade for my Taco, which was a 2017 TRD OR Long Bed with a Billstein Lift & SC10s with 21K miles. My buddy pulled the trigger as well and traded his 2016 Limited Taco with 45K miles - he got 28K. Toyotas really do hold their value. He got the black Raptor that's in the pics below.

    Going to miss my Taco, but this thing is officially one bad ass truck and fits my family needs. Now I just have to pay it off! If anyone's in the market for a raptor, PM and I'm happy to answer questions.

    Thanks,
    TRC

    Tech, yes. Premium, no.

    I had the biggest lead foot gray Raptor Boner that wouldn't quit! One dealer tried charging me 10K over sticker. Laughed and told him to F-Off. Though here in MA, none are selling for below sticker.

    The dealer closest to my house here in north Dallas sells them for 10k over after lowering them from 15k over. They’re one of the only ones that even do it around here, which is why they have 10-15 raptors on hand. If platinums could come in lead foot, I’d have one lol
