I Bought the Cheapest Ford Raptor EVER for $14K but WHY? Sight Unseen Purchase! 

Your yard looks like a Ford dealership Randy

Touchscreen Calibration: press and hold the CD eject button and then SEEK UP at same time for about 5-10 seconds. This will put the unit into diagnostics mode and it does a speaker test. After the speaker test is complete a menu will show up. Now press and hold the seek down button until the calibration screen appears. After following the instructions for calibration, press anywhere on the screen to exit. It is now calibrated properly and you may exit back to the main screen.

The fact that a 11 year old raptor with a clapped interior crappy wheels and front bumper 247k miles and listed as a bad transmisiion brought 14k at AUCTION is a serious testament to how well these things hold value. Badass truck

The blacked out military badge is the Combat Infantryman Badge. The badge is awarded to infantrymen and Special Forces soldiers in the rank of colonel and below, who fought in active ground combat while assigned as members of either an Infantry or Special Forces unit of brigade size or smaller at any time after 6 December 1941. The smaller one is a service ribbon. Not sure what for,

Nice looking truck. If was having a trans problem it most definitely can be the tire size throwing off speed sensors and shift points.

Dont let the high miles scare you, I've got 300k on my 09 and runs great,doesn't leak or use any oil.

Man! Your Raptor looks so much better with the proper wheels.

I would put a factory front bumper on the Raptor that after market one in my opinion takes away from the truck. As far as the blower speed I would replace the blower motor resistor my 2010 Ford Expedition limited had the same issue and that resolved the problem. My Expedition has over 247,000 and it’s still going strong it’s all about maintenance the Raptor is a keeper.

You should put those chrome rims from the raptor on your 2018 I think it would make it look a lot better than those factory steelies

Truck sounds great

The fan issue is a common Ford thing. There is a resistor behind the glove box or next to the blower motor that needs replaced, and it'll fix the problem

the military items are from the us army. The rectangle badge with gun and wreath is combat infantry badge, the ribbon looks like an army achievement medal. One of the previous owners likely served in army infantry career field.

The truck came from Gwinnett County, GA. Metro Atlanta on the north end. I live on the southside in Fulton County. I live like 25 miles away via the Atlanta Downtown Connector. The big dealerships here kick high mileage older vehicles (trade ins) to auction. Most of the time those vehicles have multiple mechanical and body issues. The dealer will not tie no more than $5,000 on average in a car that they know they will lose on profit. In Randy's Raptor case, someone traded it in. The dealer kicked it to auction due to the issues that Randy stated. If the dealer was to sell it, they would have to tie over $10,000 in repairs because big dealerships do not buy aftermarket parts for cars that they sell. If Randy got it for $14k then the dealer would sell it for almost $30k if not more no matter the mileage. It would be a cash deal only but either way, its all about profit. A clean example of a 2012 Ford Raptor that we had for sell had like 65k miles one owner and not modified. Nalley Toyota sold it for $41k.

I would recommend that you change your two differential fluids and transfer case!

I'm not a Ford man but I do admire and respect their vehicles. My uncle had the first gen Harley Davidson f150 and boy hopping on the freeway felt like a rollercoaster. Nice truck my friend, still has plenty of life left in her.

That is awesome you found original factory takeoffs for the Raptor.👍

That’s a sweet Raptor. I definitely think it was worth buying. It looked so goofy with those Lariat wheels. 😂 I know the fuel economy sucks, but think about how much money you’ll be SAVING over paying the Ram 3500 note if you chose to keep this as replacement. Always find the positives 😅

Finally the mysterious Raptor! Sweet! Congratulations on 400k subs Randy 💪

For the touchscreen, go ahead and take the battery post off the battery take a positive battery post off and touch it to the negative leave the battery unplugged for five minutes that will re-calibrate your touchscreen on your Ford

The white one for the work truck and the red one for the fun truck. The one that would put a smile on your face.

I think it's a great truck and buy for the mileage and age. The puff of smoke on startup is probably just the valve stem seals, it was very common on the 80's Ford Escort here in Europe with the 1.6 CVH engine, i believe it's nothing to worry about. Awesome sound of the 6.2 V8 and Raptor rims did the icing on the cake. Great video Randy 😊👍 Greetings from a Ford fan 😊

Hey Randy, another winner, in my opinion! Best looking one! Love the color! For that price, I think you have another score! You want to rotate those trucks according to what you’re doing! longer hauls go for the one with better mileage. Heavy hauls more torque etc.

You have really grown in this business. I am happy for you!

Randy you don't have to make excuses for what you buy you know what you're doing look at all you have , because you're smart and you know what you're doing. 👍

a truck used as a truck is refreshing

Your Raptor has a wicked exhaust note.

Vary awesome indeed. Nice job on getting the Ford Raptor. Keep up the great work.

Raptor is the way to go randy👍 a little bit of touches and the beast us good to go! love from Kenya Africa!

its crazy what vehicals are still going for.

I like it Randy, hope you enjoy it for a while. 😎👌👍PS, looks a lot better with the other wheels.

Good Video Randy My Choice Is The Longbed For A Work Truck

I love your videos. Very inspiring. Greetings from Ghana 🇬🇭

The Raptor still has big balls even with the milage. You got a damn good deal on it Randy. KEEP IT!

Just got a 2013 SVT Raptor a little while ago so far it has been an awesome truck. Very comfortable plenty of power to have fun. Always looks for excuses to go drive it.

Randy i love the content you put out i allways watch most of your and mikes videos before work or after wor just to relax. your videos also made me move back to canada and do what i use to buy cars fix them and enjoy life. if you r like me you r sdicted to buy new cars haha god bless you guys and hope you can make videos till you 90 haha cheers from Edmonton!

Nice Ford truck Randy I love it. Sounds awesome . It still looks good even though it has a few dings. I am sure your gonna get some nice wheels. You have great taste! Great job. 😊😊😊😊

Love the raptor how about putting those chrome wheels on your white truck

Ohh man I love the content! I've been waiting on this video

Nice truck they definitely put it to use. Should definitely do a full inspection, but this should last you a while if they took care of it.

can’t wait for the next vid Randy!

great video Pal, I love the truck. great deal 👍

You’re so right about that first ding on my new Ram😢😢Love the Raptor

Well done on your newest purchase .great score

Score ,love the look ,love the sound ,bad ass truck enjoy!

I love your Ford kick Randy. I know one day it'll be over but you're really scoring some good buys❤

I love chrome wheels but I think the raptor wheels actually do look better.

I have always liked those older raptors, but like you said prices are still high on them. Someone spent a fortune on gas at 10mpg and putting 247k miles on it. At 3 dollars a gallon that $74,000. Probably paid more in gas than the truck cost new.

Black Taurus is a police interceptor, 3.5 3.7 AWD pursuit handling package.

the truck has tons of life left, what a beautiful vehicle, would choose the 2018 with long bed as your work truck, thanks for another great video, have a great day sir

Nice find Randy, not bad for that kind of mileage.

Nice truck Randy! The only thing I don’t like is the aftermarket bumper, it would really tie it all together with a stock front bumper!!

The owner before must have been a Army soldier. I saw a CIB (Combat Infantry Badge) stuck in the headliner and the town that the last oil change was done is by Ft. Benning, Ga. an Army post.

Good deal Randy u the man 💪🏿😎💯 Detroit checking in let's go randy get this 💰🥶

I like the white with the long bed. A truck that can haul a camper in the bed is quite appealing to me.

Hi Randy ,congrats on the 400K subscribers ! 👍👊

Nice Truck!!!! When you went on your drive ya shoulda hit the OK Button on your steering wheel and see if your MPG went up.

Randy I hope you find a rolled over parts truck u might be able to swap rims and simble it would nice to get the oem rims back for it. I like this one red very Nice!

Gwinnet place is close to me in Duluth GA. I'm about 40 minutes from Gwinnet place mall.

Backseat Headrests were possibly taken out for better visibility from rear view mirror.

Here me out, what if you rebuild a minivan??

I love fords I'll keep watching ur videos

Great video 🔥🔥

Hearing the start of that Raptor makes you forget a little about a broken lift. For now,that lift is "as dead as a doornail!"

Been waiting all Week for this Vid.

Good buy! Make more vids on it!

Randy, I will say, my employer has a very large fleet and all 3/4 tons have the 6.2 and they've been dead reliable. We've put them through idling for hours at a time, pulling equipment on trailers, hauling heavy loads in the bed, and they have handled it all. I honestly can't think of any time they've needed extensive repairs. The high miles wouldn't phase me a bit on that engine. That'll be one hell of a truck.

Love those rims wish I could pick up the out ones

Great new truck love the Raptor, I like the Grey ecoboost for work first then the Raptor.

Nice buy, I always wanted a Ford Raptor since they first came out.

It's a nice truck, it sucks that the Raptor wheels aren't on it, but still a great deal 😀🤘🏽🔥❤️

I would choose the eco boost all day! It’ll pull anything the other two will. Plus I like that it’s leveled and silver!

You got good trucks and each one is a keeper Randy but I love the white ford and silver one

Even with that amount of mileage it still has a lot of life left. I see guys with well over 300k on gen1 raptors which is why they have held their value really well

Another great video sir.

Hey Randy keep in mind those wheels were smaller and may have contributed to higher miles being the wheels doing more rotations than a bigger wheel and may have been the transmission problem they were stating

Now that's a nice truck! Disconnect the battery and let it sit for 5 minutes then plug it back in and see if that helps.

Nice, good it has the 6.2 good for 500k+ plenty of aftermarket wheels that are close to raptor wheels.

Randy I would give it a full tune up!! might help the fuel economy 👌

The bumper is by Addictive Desert Designs, and is a high dollar unit.

I would pick the Raptor in a heartbeat! Great videos! 👍

Steering wheel probably had a center marking ring like racers.

The tag should have been removed from that when it was traded in. Georgia tags do not stay with the vehicle, in Georgia the tag stays with the owner and can be transferred to another vehicle. (I live in Georgia).

Good morning sir. Good to see you.😊👍

Hey Randy it's Duluth, Georgia but use the raptor for hauling cars and it's you new work truck and you're awesome

I knew they were raptor wheels. When you did the sneak peak a few videos back, the first thing i saw was SVT. My mum also owns a 2018 ford raptor ecoboost (very uncommon vehicles in Australia) and it has SVT wheels on it.

Randy, you are the busiest RU-vidr I folow! Keep up the good work and great videos! I hope you get rest Brother!

With the "new" rims it look so much better,its a great work truck,adress those little things and its good to go. Miles is not a reason to be afraid.

No doubt you love working with cars! and the Raptor sounds AWESOME! Great sound.. I would drive it anytime that truck! and save money on all the new Overpriced trucks these days..

Good buy randy! I love the raptor specially the v8 :)

When I see the wheels on the truck from your Instagram page I knew immediately why it was cheap.😂😂😂

If it was me personally i would keep all 3 trucks because with what you have into them you can have your work truck white one the raptor for fun and the silver one for when you want to go somewhere with the family and if one breaks down no problem you have another two its a thought for you 28:04

Randy that is one nice Raptor buddy. If I were you I would daily drive the hell out of that beauty. You can lose on it! And it really suits you as well...👍🙂👍

The trans issue that is claimed may be a leadframe issue. Kinda common. Or it may just be nothing at all. Hopefully that one. The 4wd noise was probably the iwe locking in. Its what locks the hubs. I just bought a 2014 a month ago, i average about high 12 to low 13 mpg. I get 16ish highway. Mine has a whipple, long tubes and some other stuff so it may he different. 15k was a good deal. If it was me id keep the raptor as a daily. Super cool, rides good. Still can tow, very comfortable. The only downsides would be the fuel mileage.

Try checking the cabin air filter,I had a vehicle that was like stuck on low,I took the filter out,that looked like it had never been changed,and i had all speeds,I think it was so clogged that it felt like it was on low...could possibly be the problem..

I LOVE that truck and color!

Good morning Randy. The 2012 Ford F150 Raptor is a good looking truck. Well let's see if it will run and drive with supposedly transmission problems.

You have a nice pair of upgrade wheels for the silver truck now I think it will look nicer with the Factory Ford chrome rims

Its really nice that raptor 🤩, i think if you can fix the white f150 it would be the greatest work truck for you

Congrats on the Raptor!! The correct wheels look much better. The truck is broken in. Good price too.

As long as you do videos on trucks, I will keep watching.
