Go sit in a 100k f-250 and tell me the quality is good. Endless plastic trim, poor fit and finish, etc. Dont even start about dealership quality! How is that for substantiated?

LOL, then why did you buy a Raptor in the first place?
An F250 is a work truck regardless of price. I have a friend who traded in a Range Rover for a Chevy Suburban because the Rover was in the shop so often.
The N52 had cam phaser issues too, but it sounds cool... VANOS.
I had a BMW dealership tell me my 23,000-mile E86 needed $1,200 of new rear suspension parts because it wasn't possible to align the rear end; they were fishing for a CarMax warranty they thought I had.
I can go on if you'd like...
