New to the forum but not a Raptor owner YET

[Raptorwannabe]

Hello from South Carolina! I want to pick the brains of some Bronco Raptor owners before pulling the trigger.
I am retired and own an unfinished 1976 Bronco project. I spent a lot of time and money on the project and it keeps going and going!
Anyway when Ford brought the Bronco back my project stalled and now I am considering the Raptor. It is not cheap so I need all the info I can get from you OWNERS!

Thanks

what would you like to know?

Thanks Sherpa11 for responding.
I am sold with the looks of the Raptor but would like to find out about some problems with the 3.0 engine and some problems with the hardtop roof panels and anyother things that are related to the Raptor.
Take the engine, I know it has the composite (plastic) oil pan and I am concerned about it leaking.
My son has a f150 3.5 ecoboost and has leaks and has been revealed twice!
I have heard Ford went to a o ring seal now to fix the problem?
The hardtop has had problems also with deformation and cracks and is noisy
Supposedly they changed the tops and added sound deadening?
I will be reading on the forum to get more info also.


Thanks for repling
