screw that! Pump 'em out!

The forums wouldn't be as active if there were only a handful of trucks made each year, less R&D would be dumped into mods for the trucks, and the local GTG's wouldn't exist without other local raptors around town. The truck itself limits how many will be sold due to not everybody wanting or able to afford a truck like this, so no need for Ford to further cap it and restrict the fun!

Maybe even rarer than we thought if a majority are being shipped overseas by greedy dealers who can make huge profits by doing this, don't know if it's true, but just read about it. A Raptor in China can go for $250,000...

That blue one might be mine. According to SVT it is awaiting shipment and is scheduled to arrive at the dealer on 11-21

I've heard something very similar to this. A friend of mine works at a Ford dealership in San Antonio as a service cashier and she told me that they just sold their last two Raptors. One white and one blue. The buyers were two Chinese gentleman who apparently were going to ship them over to Hong Kong to sell for big money. I don't know if it was the $250,000, but either way, I bet they pull a premium.

That is a stretch, but I did see an online article were some were going for around $200,000. I also read this frowned upon by the Chinese government and they are trying to crack down on the "grey market".
