You're not crazy. Ford can't build what you want in enough volume to satisfy the market. You should buy the competition if it's acceptable. Three years from now? Who knows. The blown V8 may be extinct. I fear for the Raptor itself. The reacceleration of the CAFE laws will not be kind to...
You can do that here in the winter. Summers, the highways are so clogged with RVs and trailers and flatlanders freaking out about being "in the mountains" that there's nowhere to go. You can either plod along and suffer or bust your ass passing. Passing might save a few minutes on a few hour...
Predicting is hard. Especially about the future. I could make an argument for under $100k and and equally compelling argument for over $200k. If I had to actually bet my own money, I'd bet that ADM for the R will still be firmly in place six months from now. But it's a guess.

In the old days Yota would introduce a new vehicle outside the US, get the early feedback, fix the big problems, and then "introduce" a relatively reliable vehicle with a three-year-old design. Then they'd run the same basic design for twenty years, which improved reliability at the cost of user...
Welcome and good job on dodging the moonroof bullet. A lot of us end up ordering our own so that we can avoid that thing. Yours was almost certainly a customer order. Dealers like to add it as it's a high profit margin option that pays dividends down the road in the service department.
