2026 RANGER RAPTOR

[Dre' Dawg]

The Ecoboost 3.0L V6 still scares me with all the law suits on it

I think that was the 2020/21 with intake valve problems. I don't think the newer ones have had any problems.

This doesn't apply to the 24-26 Raptors. If I'm wrong, please provide evidence.

You are correct. It was never for 24-26 Raptors. Previous issues with other cars make me hesitant.

Antimatter Blue would make me trade my Shelter Green in. I wanted it on the Bronco but they removed it after 6 months, its such a good looking color

Thats the color I was going to get my Bronco badlands in but I carried over to '22 and couldn't get it. I ended up going with Hot Pepper Red and loved it.

My dealer just got a 2026 allocation and we sent my build in. Est delivery of 12/5/25. Going from a 2024 F150 Raptor. Love the truck but I work in a city and parking is just a bear.

Why im trading my 24 for a 26?

If so, I trade every couple of years, as I just always have. I like to drive lower mileage vehicles. Also love avalanche gray!

Buying at invoice, interest rates down over 2% since 24 was purchased. So upgrade two yrs and have basically same pmt.

Looks like they got rid of Azure Gray Metallic as well.

I was under the impression that MY2026 builds didn't start until after Jan 1? Is that not accurate?

Would you be better off leasing? Don't get me wrong, I tend to buy and trade way too often.

There is not much tax advantage in leasing in Oklahoma.
If you buy it out in the end you could pay tax on it twice.
Leasing can be more or less attractive depending on the state you live in.
Years ago GM had was called a smart buy, that was structured like lease, but you actually owned it, which was the better play in Oklahoma.
I think those went away when GMAC folded back in the 2008 recession.

Leasing gets dicey if your gping to drive any miles. Mileage penalty is huuuge.

Bigger thing is that I just never really liked leasing a vehicle. If you decided you wanted to keep it, the price was always way higher than it was worth and now you were paying a used car interesr rate.

They're right for the right people.

Ive also always bought raptors and other either harder to get or limited production vehicles so when I traded or sold them I minimized my losses and sometimes even made $.

Actually wound up bailing on this and bought a 2025 from another dealer local to me and traded the F150 Raptor in. Amazing how well they hold their money.

Where are you able to purchase at invoice? Is this for inventory trucks or ordered? Thanks...
