Raptor as an investment.
With the limited production number of the Raptor I wonder if it would make a good investment.

Maybe...but you'd have to be prepared to wait 30+ years before you see them becoming collector's items. And you'd have to keep it low-mileage, like new.

harleys are still holding close to their original values even with 20-30k on them

I think the 6.2 will be more of a collector item then a run of the mill 5.4

If you're going to buy it, drive it. If you want an investment, buy some property.

YES!


I do not see the point of having a load of cash in something that's just going to sit in the garage and get rubbed with a cloth diaper...

I've put 16,000 miles on my truck in 14 months. I bought it to drive it.

It took 15 years for a gen 1 lightning with 99 miles on it to resell for it's purchase price I saw on ebay.

How long are you wanting to wait?

its like those who turned the GT500 or corvette into a garage queen. the cars were meant to be driven. investing into a home or wisely on the market is a better idea
