There's always feedback... "Hello! Hello! I can't hear you! There's something wrong with your phone!"

I would LOVE to get pictures of both trucks side-by-side, and bounce some ideas off of you. I'm pretty sure they will be arriving at the same time because they were "built" within 2 days of each other, show the same ramp, and Rail, and destination is so close to each other.

That would be awesome if we could make that happen!!!

My Dealer had 6 2024 rangers listed, (including mine), all listed as "in transit". Pretty sure it's automated at a corporate level. As soon as mine was delivered and signed for, it was removed from the dealership pages.

I hope that helps to set your mind at ease. >

I asked my guy when i was picking mine up as it was listed on the site and he said this happens automatically and they go in and change it. Nothing they can do about it getting added

One way we can combat dealers that are charging ADMs is to waste their time. When I bought my GT350, I ran across several of them that wanted anywhere from $5k to $15k over MSRP. At first, I just hung up on them when they told me. But then, I started giving them my information pretending I was interested. They would call back, and I would tell them I'm still thinking about it, but I would ask them some questions, etc., Then they would call again a day or two later, and I would tell them I'm interested, but checking with my bank, wife, etc... If they think you're serious, they will spend a serious amount of time trying to close the deal. It's kind of like messing with telemarketers.

If everyone on this forum did that to a couple of dealers charging ADMs, it would make a pretty decent impact to the amount of time they waste on false sales leads. Would it stop them? Probably not, but if they're going to charge someone more than MSRP, make 'em earn it!

You have got WAY too much free time on your hands

Generally new vehicles are pushed directly from the manufacturer to the dealer website automatically. The dealers have limited control over that.

no dealership is getting 6 Ranger Raptor!
may be in one year, market is very tight now, same league as F 150 Raptor R.
Regular F150 raptor is the only one u can find at MSRP!
F150 raptor is so much luxurious than the Ranger Raptor.
yes, I know is bigger, as the world turn.
Job of dealership is selling car so they spend all day looking for customer!

Not really, but I'll devote a little extra time to screwing with dealers that try to screw me.

Not every dealer, my dealer operates their own website. If it’s listed on theirs it’s because they put it.
Mine has never been on the website and never will.

How did they try to "screw" you?

Oh, I don't know...by trying to sell me a vehicle at a grossly exorbitant price maybe?

My dealer must remove their retail ordered vehicles from their website or something. Because I ordered 5 trucks from them and they never showed up on their website.
But there are a couple dealers around here that just leave them on their website. Earlier in the year I called on 4 different F150 Raptors that were in transit and they were already sold before they got there.

So they have a vehicle you want. They have it listed at what they consider market value. You don't want to pay what they're asking. They won't come down and you won't go up. You could just part ways and move on with your life. Where did the screwing happen? Cause I'm not seeing it brother.

And I did, but not without a little parting gift of leading them on for a while thinking that I would be interested in paying "what they consider market value".

It didn't. Hence my inclusion of the word "try".
