That means that the Raptor holds its value better than most vehicles out there.

Yes, you can make your F-150 look like a Raptor for a fraction of the price. Of course, all these aftermarket parts don't suddenly transform the stock F-150 into a Raptor, since the latter is more than just uprated shocks, grille, and tires — it's a proper hardcore off-road performance pickup.
A special version of Ford's F-150 Raptor pickup is coming with the Mustang GT500's supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 engine. This powertrain would give this already impressive off-road performance truck upward of 700 horsepower—not to mention a more thrilling soundtrack than its current 450-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6.

But Ford Authority reports that a dark horse contender has also raised its head: the new 7.3-liter naturally aspirated V8 set to debut in the 2020 Super Duty pickups that goes by the code name of “Godzilla.”
The Shelby Raptor has a custom cold-air performance intake system and tune, feeding the Ford Performance EcoBoost engine. This gives the twin-turbo V-6 an amazing 525+ horsepower and an astonishing 610+ foot pounds of torque.
