Something strange just happened with this F-150 Raptor. Initially, it failed to sell at auction when a high bid of $86,000 fell short of the reserve. The truck was then sold via an offer for $91,000, nearly as much as the original MSRP. I’m not sure that valuation is right, even though on paper, the money tracks.
This Raptor CrewCab was fitted from the factory with the Raptor 37 (802A) package, which is an $11,470 optional extra that includes all the basic 801A features, plus 37×12.5 R17 BSW All-Terrain tires, unique 17″ cast aluminum bead-lock capable wheels, dual valve shocks, a modular front bumper, black Alcantara suede and leather Recaro seats, and carbon fiber interior appliques.
My question is – why not just get a brand-new truck from Ford? Why pay this sum for one that’s already covered 614 miles? On the other hand, the F-150 Raptor has been known to stave off depreciation like a champ, which means this truck was never going to sell for way less than MSRP. Not with this mileage, at least.
Aside from an “Avalanche” exterior, this F-150 Raptor also comes with the model-specific bed, grille, and running boards, as well as a dual-panel sunroof, Rigid fog lamps, automatic LED headlights, side mirror lighting, a Securicode keypad, a ToughBed spray-in bedliner, black wheel arch flares, cargo bed lighting, front and rear recovery hooks, and a receiver hitch. I already touched on the wheels, but the tires here are BFGoodrich All-Terrain K02s. Oh, and the bedside decals have been removed.
The power-adjustable Recaro front bucket seats are both heated and ventilated, with other interior highlights including the following: orange contrast stitching, a 60/40 split-folding rear bench (also heated), a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a wireless charging pad for your mobile device, power-adjustable pedals, a rearview camera, head-up display, and a heated steering wheel.
You also get adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera system, lane-keeping, blind-spot detection system and cross-traffic alert.

As for the engine, since this is a “base” Raptor and not a Raptor R, it comes with a twin-turbocharged EcoBoost 3.5-liter V6, sending 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque to either the rear or all four wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission.
It’s fair to say that this isn’t the fastest pickup truck in the world – not by 2026 standards. But it can still take you from zero to 60 mph (97 kph) in 5.5 seconds, which is more than respectable. Otherwise, the Raptor R, Ram TRX and the Rivian R1T are all quicker. Still, the “base” Raptor is pretty solid from a bang for your buck POV.
But what do you guys think? Would you have spent $91,000 for a used 2026 F-150 Raptor? Again, Ford will just as easily sell you a new one for that price.
