Buying Ranger Raptor (Shelter Green) in Florida - I assume nobody selling under MSRP? How do I get allocation for 2025?

[MulchBags2]

Extra question, anybody getting 0% financing out there?

Tons of raptors for msrp, none under, just gotta look around. Allocations are dealer specific, you'll have to talk to the dealer if you order. 25 orders are not open yet.

Can I still order 24? Any must have features?

You can not, they have been closed for 2 months. Truck comes loaded, so there arent a ton of options beyond if you want the keypad, wheel choice or fords liners really.

That’s what I thought. Spray in liner good? Seemed like the only items I’d be interested in adding was keyfob, spray bed, and the wheels with the beaded feature (purely for looks).

Just bought a shelter green with beadlocks, keypad, spray liner and mud flaps. Basically it was what the dealer ordered and happen to be there the day is was delivered. Traded in my 2017 raptor.

I’ll look up what the mudflap look like. Do you find the color scratches or looks dirty when sitting out?

Definitely see smudges and marks. Great color. My 1st non blue vehicle.

Its cheaper to get a linex after you get the truck (its like 800 for a spray in from Ford vs $650 for the premium LineX (middle tier offering with the UV protection)) My dealer even coordinated having the local Line X place do it for me after I took the truck. Only benefit of the ford spray in, is they add a big ford logo on the bulkhead that looks neat if you are in to that.

You cant add keyfobs, it does come with 2 though, unless you mean you wanted the keypad on the door. 25s wont have the option for the keypad from the factory anymore (which would be painted body color) and its a dealer option only for 25 (will be black plastic).

Most people dont like those beadlock wheels for the soul issue that the valve stem is difficult to get to, but otherwise are fine. I would simply shop around and find dealers with them on lots (there are still a lot on lots) and get MSRP. Recent posts in florida I think have most of them above, but if you shop around outside of the state youll easily find one. 25 updates/orderguide I think are suppose to be released sometime this month.

As far as ordering goes, just because you order a 25, doesnt mean itll ever get made. The dealer will need to get an allocation. Allocations are based upon dealer sales. Raptor Allocations are different then Ranger allocations. Id just confirm with whatever dealer you order from that they get a steady influx of any Raptors through out the year.

Once an order is placed, and the dealer has an allocation, the dealer will assign a priority code. Priority cods are controlled by the DEALER. They will be between 5-19. Lower is better. The priority code can be changed by the dealer at any time. If they dont tell you when you order, you can simply ask them, some dealers are weird about giving it out, but you can demand to know. Generally as long as the code isnt a 19, you are fine, though at the start they put you at a 19 since they wont be built for awhile.

Regardless of the priority code stuff, if the dealer never gets an allocation it will never get built. You can look around the forum and see lots of examples of people waiting a long time on initial orders and such. The good news is for 25s, Ford is back to about 15k trucks a quarter compared to last year where they were at about 7k trucks a quarter so waits for 25s shouldnt be as bad in general as 24s.

Also when the 25 order date comes up, The order banks dont open till that evening. Ford doesnt tell people this just the day it happens. So its generally best to go in the day after or late in the evening. Waiting a few days wont hurt anything in the long run.

I have a green one as well. Its going to show dirt because its a dark color, and itll show swirls because its a metallic paint, but its not as bad as Black or Red.

If you are near Orlando, reach out to Rush Truck Centers. They do not charge ADM.

@SubaruRaptor the ford spray in bed liner on my window sticker says $495. Maybe Ford raised the price? @MulchBags2 I’m in Tampa bay and had to drive to Bradenton to get at MSRP. Do not pay over you can find just have to drive a little bit. As far as 0 percent financing not happening.

I only paid $495 for my SIBL as well.

When my dealer quoted me for the spray in they said it was closer to 800, maybe he was getting confused with something else though, or just tight with the line x guys lol

do you mind disclosing which Bradenton dealership you went to? Or messaging.

Darn, I was hoping it was like a silver where pollen are invisible. The brown and green combo probably hides some.
