I'm now a 2025 Ranger Raptor owner

[Bushmechanic]

I found one on a dealer lot, and took it out for a test drive.

It was better in a number of ways than other options with local dealers, so I placed a deposit to hold it over the weekend. I didn't want to have to drive two hours for service, which is why I shopped locally.

I wouldn't have ordered white, but it looks good on the bodywork, the price was right, and they offered me five grand more than I expected they would for my trade-in. Moreover, there was a small rebate available, for some reason.

So, white it is. LOL

The drawback was no bed-liner, so I had them install the modular unit. I don't have the Ford app, so I couldn't use those points from buying the truck, but I suppose I could have. I'll find a use for them, somehow.

Total price out the door: $55,999

I thought it was a fine enough price, and a good exchange.

So, it's nice to meet everyone. I'm long-winded, but I may be of some use here, nonetheless.

Welcome and congrats! White RRs look incredible - the black really pops!
Also looks great covered in mud too!!

I'm really looking forward to fully breaking it in so I can take it out and really explore it's capabilities.

It'll certainly be seeing some travel and trails eventually.

Drive 2 hours for service? It's not an issue running service through a dealer you didn't buy it from. I've never understood that worry some folks have.

I wasn't worried about servicing the Raptor.

I wanted to buy a different sort of vehicle entirely, but the dealerships for those in which I was interested were all two hours away, with no local service available. I've got plenty of Ford dealers here, though.

The Raptor wasn't initially on my list of vehicles to purchase. It was a spur of the moment decision.

Congrats on the new Raptor, 56k sounds like a good price.

Welcome and congratulations

I thought so. The real kicker, though, was $22,000 for my 2019 base Golf GTI, for which I paid only $24,000 new. It was low mileage, but still ...

I wasn't going to turn that down. No negotiation required. LOL

I'm still learning to quote, here, it seems. Sorry about any confusion. I'll get it right.

I was on the Ford lot this morning looking at a gray RR. The MSRP was $59k...so $56k is good.

I got my 2025 RR in April. It had a few extras on it so it was a little over 59. Still, no haggling as there were three other deposits on it after mine. Will have to get a photo up soon. Mine is in the Shelter Green metallic!
