Hey all, new to the forum! Yesterday, I had my new shadow black Ranger Raptor delivered to my front door. Incredible experience by a dealership in Iowa; Mike Molstead Ford. I have been looking for a while for this exact spec; black, zero options and local to me, to no avail. I even had other dealerships attempt dealer trades across the country, no one wants to give them up (understandably).
This VIN popped up incoming to their dealership on cars.com (I have notifications set) the week before Memorial Day weekend. I called, learned there was a $500 Ford rebate (credit maybe?) on MSRP for May and immediately placed a deposit to hold it - even knowing the vehicle had a delivery date of June 1-June 9. Sure thing, it showed up in the first week of June and they still honored the credit. Best part? They hand delivered the truck to me for free in Wisconsin (I think it's within a 500 mi radius). Hands down, the best experience I have ever had buying a vehicle, 10/10 would recommend. Every single person in the process was knowledgable, personable and excited for me.
Now, onto the truck. This thing is incredible. I've been in the EV game for the last 5+ years (wife has a Model X Plaid, I had [now sold] a Model 3 Performance) and it's quite the departure from one, but glad to be back to ICE. We plan on purchasing a camper, SxS, etc. - so home chores, light towing, off roading, will be it's calling. To add, I have many tasteful mods planned already, and I'll be sure to post here. She's already loaded with 35s in the bed for installation tomorrow (Friday).
Thanks, all!
