Default Buying Raptor...2001 vs. 2002 vs. 2003

I have found a ton of used Raptors, and I have even found some '03s in the price range I want.

What is the main difference between the years? What should I look out for??

02,03 unless the tranny has already been replaced, the 01's had a better radiator screen and alum disc guards up front...all differences are small except that explosive trans.

Alright, 02 or 03 it is...I will probably pick up one of the 03's I found. Both have less than 10hrs and are black/red (good combo).

Heck if you could find an 01 real cheap that looks pristine you could save some money, just don't use reverse.
