I'm in the same boat as you and feel fortunate. Just hope it doesn't take forever to get it.I’ve been building a relationship with a dealer since the bronco order fiasco after several attempts to order a badlands Sasquatch package. I was the first one in the door the second I heard the ranger raptor was coming to the usa. Spoke to my guy there and locked me into spot 1 for msrp. Yes I’m very lucky but also wanted to spread positive energy out there that not all dealerships will try and get 5-15k over.
Actually I spoke to my dealer this morning & my order will be put in on Tuesday morning as a dealer stock order in my color & options.
Congrats! For both the vehicle and the purchase price. Now may I ask you, and all Raptor purchasers, what options are you adding (understanding the options can darn near be counted on one or two hands)?I’ve been building a relationship with a dealer since the bronco order fiasco after several attempts to order a badlands Sasquatch package.

I personally just went with the graphics package. I didn’t want any hold up for something simple like mud flaps which I’d rather purchase after the fact anyway.
1 of 2 dealers responded today asking MSRP + $15k, if the other is not reasonable I’ll be happy to wait or consider the Tacoma.Yes, there are still honest ethical dealers out there but unfortunately there aren’t as many as there are unethical. Fortunately I was able to locate a honest dealer that has agreed to sell his only allocation to me for MSRP.
Ford needs to take their allocation away & not give them any at all!!
I agreed to 2 over, I'm content. Same build less decals.I’ve been building a relationship with a dealer since the bronco order fiasco after several attempts to order a badlands Sasquatch package.

I was on the fence about the bed liner. Manager told me they were having some delay with mud flaps and Bed liners. Rather get the bed liner done locally.
I’ve learnt here that’s true, each dealer gets allocation for 1 Raptor in job 1. They’re being as up front about that. We’ll have to see if that changes through the week now that orders are being put in. I suspect many dealers will try to submit the orders anyways & hope they have committed enough customers to wait until additional allocation opens later on. Or Ford has changed the rules again & your dealer is going off last week’s memo.
