2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor: Last Oil Change

$32,500

I'm with cah11705...what is next in the lineup?

Can we get a poll going?

On one hand I would like to see a new F150 with an Ecoboost, on the other, maybe some time should pass before going right back to a Ford. I would be interested to see how the turbo V6 keeps up with you guys..

A Ecoboost would be nice but in general I wouldn't mind seeing a working mans truck IE long bed! With how nomadic IL's editors seem to be everyone should be on board with the idea.

I'm hoping for a 1 ton pickup regular cab long bed diesel probably a Chevy since its been a long time since the last Silverado but a Crew Cab truck is far more likely.

$33,500

If i lived on the left coast (currently in upstate NY) I would be knocking down the door to get this truck. Perfect vehicle for a Syracuse winter.

If you must have another truck, well get an ecoboost one, for at least 40k miles.
If you don`t, give Jaguar some love and have a 2012 XF.

35000 for the raptor

I'm gonna say $35,500. I second the ecoboost idea, just get a normal everymans trucks. XLT Crew 4x4. Or a 3/4 ton diesel would be cool and different for you guys.

Why not get a Ranger? They are just about done and even though it is old it still sells pretty good and a small truck makes a lot of sense to a lot of people.....or maybe a Dakota.

$37,000 is what they would have to pay at auction, so I would say between 37,500 and 38,000 especially given the care and feeding history this car has had.

Edmunds should be able to sell it outright for $40 -$42k with little trouble.

Ecoboost must be next.

$37,295

another vote for an Ecoboost F150 or a 3/4 ton duramax, preferably crew cab-long box to put the Raptors size in perspective
if they want to test a Ranger might as well save some cash and get a 96 or 97 model results should be about the same. haha

@bodyblue,

Why would they get a crap can Ranger that is being discontinued? Few private consumers buy them anymore and it would get resoundingly trashed by the editors in the blog posts and probably driven very little anyway. Driving one is like stepping back in time 2 decades. The compact pickup segment is a dying, mostly irrelevant market in the U.S.

I'm also on board with the Ecoboost F-150, though the downside is it wouldn't be all that much different than the Raptor. And of course I think it should be completely loaded. :-)

Saw one in burnt orange the other day. My wife said she really liked it. Funny.

Jay, Ford sold 6400 Rangers last month. So the market is not yet completely dead. I rode in a 2009 Ranger two weeks ago....it is hardly like being in a truck 2 decades old. As long as its not another BMW I am fine with anything really. The 528 in the fleet is almost as boring to look and read about as the Jetta....almost. :)

Small pickups may yet again become relevant in the US again since the price of oil now is the new normal and may even go higher.

And forget getting the loaded model of anything.....they need to get the volume seller of whatever car or truck they get....... If the volume seller is the top of the line, then cool. Testing something for day to day driving that hardly anybody buys is really stupid.

And really they need to get an Explorer with MyFord Touch to see if it is as bad as some say it is. Its sales are screaming along (almost 10K last month).

@bodyblue,

"Jay, Ford sold 6400 Rangers last month. So the market is not yet completely dead. I rode in a 2009 Ranger two weeks ago....it is hardly like being in a truck 2 decades old."

The Ranger's interior is from 1995. So it is actually 16 years old, I was off by 4 years. It has received minor hacked-together updates over the years but it remains one of the crappiest interiors money can buy.

The compact truck segment has decreased in sales by 75% over the last 10 years alone. Residual values are terrible - a typical 2 y/o Ranger trades in at about 40-45% of its original MSRP. Ford admits the vast majority of Ranger's sales are to low-margin fleet customers and that's why the truck doesn't get updated - nobody would give a rat's ass or want to pay for a pricier redesigned model. I've read its sales mix is estimated at 75% fleet/25% retail, and many of those retail sales are actually to small businesses, not private consumers.

It is no surprise it's being canceled and the new Ranger will only be sold in international markets. There's simply little demand and no money in compact trucks in the U.S. And if you want to know what a long term test of it will be like, read the Edmunds.com review. I'll summarize: Buy pretty much anything else on the market but this.
