I'm still being patient. Not worried about the valve issue, it seems to only be affecting a small number of vehicles. I'm also of the belief that all new top trim trucks are going to be hard as hell to get in 2024, so we are waiting either way.
If it was me and I wasn't getting the Raptor I would wait for the 2.7. I know I would end up regretting it otherwise. I am not loving any of these midsized 4 bangers.
I would work for free if it would speed up my delivery. Not a fan of these
It depends. Did they say who they were laying off? I only heard numbers, not what roles where affected.
I don't think this has been established as of yet, but I would expect it to be the similar to the Bronco. So around 2,200 - 2,500 would be a good guess.
Not sure it's this straight forward. Some dealers can be issued additional allocations for a number of reasons. I'm with you on the timing though. Next summer is when I am expecting mine.
Meh. His whole argument is it's not a "true" Raptor because it has 33's and less suspension travel than the other Raptors. He comes across as a full size truck guy with clear bias. He is also wrong about the width being the same as a regular Ranger. It's 3.5" wider.
Those look better than I would have thought. Still wouldn't do it personally. You should be able to maintain factory weight with lighter wheels. It won't be cheap though. You can get wheels like the Vossen HF6-4's that are the same weight as stock.
