Picked up my Raptor today

[$Bill]

People have been posting about the crazy prices of RRs on the west coast. I wanted to get one - but not at $10k+ over MSRP. The hunt began and I found a new 2025 at Glavan Ford in Clay Center, Kansas. The truck was well optioned and very close to what I wanted. I live in northern Nevada.

That’s what airplanes are for. I flew to Kansas from Reno yesterday and was picked up at the airport this morning. I’m now in Cheyenne, WY for the night. About a 1500 mile total drive from Glavan Ford back home. I’ll know the truck reasonably well by the time I get there. Manual mode has helped to keep the RPMs fluctuating for the break in.

I had test driven a used one in Nevada - along with all the competition. The RR was what I wanted to get without a doubt. A HUGE thank you to Tamara and Lance at Glavan Ford! They made the buying experience extremely pleasant. I got a very good price on a great truck. According to Lance, they have a fair number of out of state sales. I understand why. I would have no hesitation to buy another vehicle from them.

I’m looking forward to getting it out on some trails once I get back home!

That's the first thing I always do with a new car

Nice!

The local dealer in Fallon has/had one on the lot. $10K market adjustment makes it over $70k. No thanks.

That's what Corwin in Reno was at too. Salesman said I can maybe get them to move $2k. Their F150 Raptors are $20k over MSRP. Crazy. And no test drives on any Raptors. They had a used RR about two months ago I was able to drive. It was on the lot maybe three days. They were asking basically MSRP for that - a year old with maybe 6k miles. I was thousands under sticker. Made it a no brainer to get on the plane.

Yea, if I really wanted a Raptor fly and drive is the way I would do it. As it is, I put a deposit on a Desert Sand 2.7L XLT FX4 that Corwin has inbound. It also has the tow package with tech group and spray in bedliner. I figure I'll eventually put Eibach struts and shocks on it and a little bigger tires. Should do what I want.

It should be here by the end of the month.
