See! Now here is the issue, Mr. smurfslayer! You are thinking logically and even worse you are taking into consideration reality...that's not gonna get you far in today's world my friend. Stop it!
Just want to set the record straight and post that I did end up getting my deposit on the first truck back, Kenny Ross Ford in Irwin. did honor the refundable deposit.
Two things happened.
1. I lost a little trust with the dealership I was working with primarily because they had no information on when the truck was coming, what the current order status was; when the third week past what they told me came and went i decided I would do one more round of...
FINALLY got my new Raptor. Oxford White 801a on 35's. Longest and most painful search and buy experience I've had in my life. I think I'm done buying toys for a little while too much effort needs to go into it. Pic for proof, I'm sure you all have seen a million pics of white raptors already lol
Have you ever farted in the truck and were you sitting in the driver seat when said fart was released? If yes then it's too used for me to pull the trigger but thanks a ton for the offer. :p:D
I totally passed on the deal. I was sort of waiting before officially saying no to see if they would try to make it enticing for me to pull the trigger on this but in the end they wanted to give me $60,100 for my gen 2 and asked for 124k (msrp) on the new Shelby Raptor. It was no sweetheart...
Thank you guys for helping me stay grounded on this one. Nex to answer your question about why a Gen 3 over my Gen 2... want the upgraded suspension, the interior is nicer in my opinion and from what I've read ford has tuned the engine a lot better on the Gen 3 so it's more responsive and feels...
I'm hoping the good folks on this forum can help me out with some opinions and knowledge. I have a small deposit on a 2022 Raptor, dealer stock, coming sometime in the very near future. It was supposed to be this week but I'm not hearing much from the dealership and my patience has run out...
I disagree with the idea that people who pay 80k for a truck don't care about gas prices. I think that statement makes the assumption that people who purchased Raptors can fully and comfortably afford them but I'm here to tell you that many Raptors sit in driveways of people who can just barely...
TXRaptor37's Tremor pic has me wondering if a Raptor is really worth it (dealing with the dealerships, ADMs, wait times and the general BS that's been going on with these trucks). If I buy a Tremor and sink 10-15 maybe even 20k extra into it in upgrades (suspension and performance) would I have...
Why drive yourself nuts over a few miles? it's not like you can just go get a less miles on the clock new raptor somewhere else and it's not like you could even ask for some kind of money off since these trucks sell over sticker even when used. I say don't sweat it and just enjoy the fact you...
Love all the bike pics! I'm a huge fan of two wheels on and off road. The empty spot between the Duke and the Low Rider is for my Road King which is currently being upgraded to a 131 Stage IV.....anyhow, pardon the messy garage I'll get around to cleaning it up sometime.
HMMM! you know, I'm **** retentive enough that a gap like that would drive me nuts and I'm also lazy enough that i don't want to deal with a workaround. Darn, back to the search; I bet there is a machine learning algo somewhere on the google server that knows I'm about to search raptor wheels...
Do any of you have any experience with RRW wheels; I'm not familiar with them but I really like the RR7-H wheels. They are flow formed so a bit "better" than the regular cast, they also have the hybrid beadlock capability like the factory wheels and they weigh 26lbs and they are pretty...
Ok so what you are all saying, and showing, is that the 37 Performance Package from the factory is a big old ripoff. The cost of shoving some 37s on a 35 truck is a fraction of the price of optioning the performance pack isn't it (it's a 7k option, more if you count the other things they add...
That's a nice looking truck. Gotta love those 37's! They just make the truck look so good. That was what made it super hard for me to pass them up and just get the 35s. And when I say pass them up I mean settle for the one I could get now at MSRP....and by now I mean next month...but still the...
I agree, this is all driven by consumer behavior but I'm not convinced that removing the dealership from the new sales equation will actually fix the problem. If people didn't pay the crazy markups they wouldn't be there. However I totally understand that if you have the money and you want...
Hey All, new member on the forum but not new to Raptors . I currently drive a Gen 2 had it since 2018 and love it. I've put down a deposit on a dealer inventory Raptor that is coming in March. This being my second raptor I felt it was my obligation to officially become a member. Anyway I had the...
Nice Raptor! I'll be pulling my Harleys on the way to the beach this year too and i gotta tell you it's good to know there is some other dude out there looking in the rear view thinking damn those bikes are f'n sexy!
