    Just snagged a 22'

    A dealership at msrp is of course out there.. a dealership charging $20K ADM does not give AF about some smuck with a checkbook paying cash. Makes zero sense, these Raptors are selling like hot cakes as soon as they hit the lots for whatever prices the dealerships want to sell them for. A...

    Just snagged a 22'

    This whole post reminds me of LinkedIn where users so desperately try and convince their peers of success by grossly exaggerating facts. I read this like that fun post about missing an interview because you stopped to check on a dog that got hit by a car... when the interviewer brought you back...

    Estimated Delivery Date

    Mine went from 2/2, to 2/7, to 2/6 and now 2/11. Since it's a 10 hour road trip to where the dealer is from me, it's only slightly annoying since I was hoping for it to be delivered and recall completed before the end of week so I can make it a long weekend and stay at a resort on the way back...

    Anyone know how to get build photos from Ford?

    That was a Bronco only thing... here is my first edition :)

    91 or 93 Octane?

    It scares me that people are running race gas or consider race gas as an actual viable option that would improve their vehicle in either performance or mileage.

    91 or 93 Octane?

    I've only ran 93 with high performance tunes or snowmobiles. It's pretty difficult to find overall, and I don't see how you can justify using it day to day with any discernable difference without a tune.

    Gen2 features missing from the Gen3

    I was hoping you'd be able to do this. By button, do you mean steering wheel? I had assumed we'd need to replace the steering wheel but wasn't sure.

    Looking for 2021 raptor or 2022 without a huge adm fee

    It's tough, I played the game for weeks called dealers all over the country and it wasn't until I posted here that a dealer reached out to me with a 37PP at $10k over. I was willing to spend a little more, but im stoked with where I landed because it's gonna be really tough to find your dream...

    Canceled my 2022 order today

    Maybe to begin with, but now you can go almost anywhere and get an allocation for a TRX and get it at MSRP or even below invoice and have it within 12 weeks. Here in MN, dealers are basically begging would be raptor owners to consider a TRX. Going to be a really saturated market, which is...

    Canceled my 2022 order today

    Cool story. An even cooler story would have been trying to facilitate a transition to another forum member.. I think a few of us here are pretty grateful to others who helped them land an allocation.

    Drive Modes / Exhaust Modes Pros and Cons

    Which I believe is what R mode is for in MY22. Once available, I hope to buy the MY22 steering wheel and use FORSCAN to enable R mode on MY21 but time will tell if its possible.

    Possible to get Gen 3 under MSRP?

    I think it's safe to say no one paid under invoice for their 21/22 Raptor without direct ties to ownership. MSRP has been available at many dealerships, but allocations become a challenge when the word gets out and most of those dealerships are lower volume Ford dealers to begin with that may...

    Gen 3 Car Wash with 37 package

    I agree. The only thing I tell people, even random people I don't know in the real world is to quit using the touch wash. Just do touchless.. #endswirlmarks

    If You Have Railcar Number I can Track it!! BNSF and Norfolk Southern!

    Is the rail car number same as the freight/invoice? Ford performance says that the truck was shipped by Rail while my window sticker says shipped by convoy. Dealer is unhelpful they just assume it will be here in the next week. Not sure how to find the rail number if it's a different number than...

    Any leads appreciated.

    I have a MN dealer who had 2 incoming loaded 35s in white. 10k to start adm but i know they'd go down to 7.5k.. not sure if they'd go lower than that.

    Looks like no BlueCruise for Raptor - 801a's READ!

    This is complete garbage, complete mind boggling stupidity on Fords end with lies from the top down. The refund should be a **** ton more than the cost of the hardware kit as I'm sure this feature was a top 5 reason why the purchase and wait was made. Unbelievable crap - thank God I have my...

    My 37 got smoked by a Hyundai SUV (question)

    My 2017 Raptor tuned was getting consistent 4.3 - 4.5 second 0-60 runs verified. This is pretty damn quick. Obviously I'm spoiled by my Tesla Model S right now, but once my 37 PP gets here I'll be putting whatever monster 93oct tune I can do and expect to see similar results with the 37s. This...

    Gen 3 Car Wash with 37 package

    The 37" tires are the same width as the 35" tires and overall the truck is the same width as it has been in the past so the larger tires in height will not make a difference in a typical touchless carwash. Go through them no worries.. but def recommend ceramic coating.

    Has anyone locked in financing rates yet?

    Short term rates are not tied to the fed rate. That said, it looks like many people here who finance are getting in the low to high 2s with their credit unions with likely >760 FICOs. Probs will be under 3.5% no matter where you go, if you need to finance. This also assumes you're looking at a...

    Gen 3 trade in value

    I just checked KBB for my 37 PP by VIN and added the correct options.. KBB spits out $96k to $100k. Funnayyy.

    Any way to avoid paying tax on ADM?

    I have never seen ADM on any of my PAs as the sales price. Ever. The sales price is the MSRP, the dealer markup is just that.. no different than a doc fee included. You don't pay sales tax on that either(unless in your example or others you are seeing dealers sneaking fees as the sale price of...

    Any way to avoid paying tax on ADM?

    You only pay taxes on MSRP. If you paid taxes on ADM you were screwed.. in fact most titles in not all states will force dealers to put the msrp on the title being issued. You won't need to pay taxes on purchase price, only msrp. I have bought vehicles in NY, NJ, CA, MN, MO, TX and FL. The only...
