My Ranger Raptor has been on order since last August and "In Production" since Feb. Just really tired of waiting and it's not good business for Ford to keep long time customers in the dark. Is it time to buy a Toyota? Ford obviously doesn't care or I would have been told what's going on by now. Guess they figure if I don't buy it, somebody else will. Suggestions???

I've had a RR on order since early June 2024. I decided to throw the towel and look for a RR at MSRP. This came up in one of my searches late last week. The dealer stated it was in transit late last week to arrive in a week or 2. I said I would by it for MSRP and they said yes. It was delivered to the dealership last night (Sunday). I fell in love with the color when I saw it. The pictures don't do it justice. It doesn't look that blue in the sun. Electronic keypad and spray in bed liner. 9.1 miles on the OD. Small dealership in central Iowa 2 hrs from my house. Sorry....Its no longer available:)

Lucked out and got this last week for MSRP at a dealership about 130 miles away. Had everything I wanted: Carbonized gray, bead lock wheels, spray in bedliner and keyless entry pad. Absolutely love this truck!

I looked at that one had everything I was looking for except the color . I was looking for a white or blue, A day or 2 after you picked up yours they had a customer ordered blue come in that the customer backed out of , I went out for dog food came home with a Ranger Raptor . Stopped on my way home to see if they had any on order lol and was told today is your lucky day ! They told me the gray Ranger Raptor went to St Augustine area . For any one still looking no markup ford raptor its a face book page its no scam I have no connection to them it lists raptors ranger raptors and bronco raptors from dealers selling at msrp enjoy your truck !

Maybe my philosophy is the odd man out, but my dealer wanted 4K over MSRP in June, zero other add-ons. I honestly was just browsing for fun they were 3 miles from my house on a Sunday.

My 2013 Tacoma was apprised at highest of Carvana/Carmax/AutoNation in May at 22K, and had dropped to 19500 a month later. On a whim, I showed the dealer the May offer, and they beat it. Add sales tax benefit, and now my trade-in was almost 5K better than selling to C/C/A ... everything transacted 3 miles from home.

#s were close enough to not matter.

I think that's below invoice. No way.
I was too lazy to inquire further but thought someone interested could try to reach out and ask if their "advertised" price is real or a scam "bait and switch". When they advertise and list the MSRP and then list "our price" as over $3K under MSRP, that should be the price you pay.
Just like my dealer tried, they would probably try to add all kinds of special sealants, PPF, maintenance plans, and discount.

The only thing I added on mine was the dealer-install of J-braces. They also accidentally added interior sealer that I refused to pay for because I specifically told them no previously.
