Seriously considering selling the Raptor now… after owning Cybertruck

[Freemarket]

I have a 2022 raptor, 37 package, with the blue leather interior package. 27k miles. After a week and a half of ownership with the cyber truck, I am seriously considering selling it. The drive is definitely better. It is easier to drive and the suspension is so far better going over bumps and cracks in the road. Nothing lost in the rear seat, which I am so happy about because my family loves it back there. Now they’ve got huge 9.1 inch screen they can watch Netflix on for road trips.

All that to say, all the off-roading I’ve done w the Raptor now brings me to the one unexperienced unknown, which is needing to take the cyber truck off road in Baja mode. I’m not in a rush to do it to be honest, because I am enjoying it so much at this point without needing to wash it and the in town drive. I am not a major off roader, but I have sent the raptor on a few 60 foot plus jumps and I will say if the cyber truck can do that, that would be amazing too. Tough decision. She’s detailed and ready to go. I just have to commit to selling it. So hard!

I really didn’t expect Tesla would deliver such an amazing truck.

Nice to hear the CT is this competitive!

I had a 10 month old 2023 Raptor 37 package as well that I bought to hold me over until I got my Cybertruck. The CT is WAY better in my opinion. I like the Raptor a lot but LOVE my CT!

Nice Raptor! 60 foot jumps?

Nice Raptor! 60 foot jumps?

That’s the best shot I’ve gotten w my Skydio. I’d call it 60’ easy.

Totally agree!

The ride quality of the CT is just more solid.

I had a 2021 Raptor w 35’s before getting the 2022 37 package.

Either way (35 or 37), the position in the cockpit and feel in the CT suspension is impressive.

I didn’t think it was possible really, but Tesla did it.

The low suspension entry of the CT is so nice too for my family. I’d rather not have the side steps. Between my 3 year old and 12 year old and 5’ wife; loading in, it is a whole lot easier.

Had a 2020 Raptor and sold it then bought a 2022 37 package and just recently sold it (thinking my CT was just around the corner) but it Looks like it will be longer than expected so I might pull the trigger on an R or Bronco Raptor to hold me over .

I dont plan to off road or beat up my Cyberbeast like I’ve done all my Raptors and that’s the part I will miss but I feel ( like all who have driven/owned both) that the CT will be the better daily

Probably hold off and do some off-road runs with the CT, Get the feel for it. If the Raptor just sits there for a few weeks then it’s probably time to pasture ?

Congrats, two great trucks!

I went a test drove one the other day. The dealer had it reduced by 1/2 of sticker. He claimed they are having a real hard time moving them. I found it hard to believe. It drove nice, but you could tell the person selling it to me had no idea how to sell it... he couldn't even find the charge port.

One thing I was worried about with the CT was the rear seat room so it’s good to hear that it’s about the same as the Raptor. Both my kids are bigger ( 17yr old is 6’5 and 12yr old is 6’0) so that was definitely gonna play a factor in if I kept the CT or not.

 

[SolarWizard]

how much do you want for it?

 

[Mini2nut]

Great to hear as I planned on purchasing a Raptor until the Cybertruck was revealed in 2019.

 

[Freemarket]

how much do you want for it?

If I do sell it, I’d like $82.5k
It’s got 27.7k miles.
Leveled
And I’ve got inflatable bags in the rear for another 1,000 lbs of payload. I installed them about a month ago, honestly just to keep the truck level while I’ve got my mountain bike on the rack ?

I’m 6’3. I’ve got about 3 inches from drivers seat to my knees in the Raptor, with the drivers seat in the position I drive it in. I have 1” of space in the CT, same seat settings. So, it’s definitely smaller by a few inches.
