Again, That was only using the MSRP. This calculation does not take into effect any dealer incentives, invoice pricing, retail pricing, discounts (Military, holiday, year end), Ford rebates or any of the alphabet plans.
So, it IS feasible to see the new Raptor touching $70K. Will it? Maybe, maybe not.
I'm just a guy with a calculator and the internet.
No those calcs are using MSRP plus your state tax. Every state is different, and most people don't include the state tax when talking about vehicle prices. Yeah you have to pay it, but you also have to pay for tags, registration, insurance, where do you draw the line? The tax by state varies way too much, plus other stupid things like NJ has a luxury tax for vehicles over a certain price and under a certain MPG. Those are all fixed % off what the vehicle costs, so don't add some of those ownership costs into vehicle cost. Keep it apples to apples, MSRP to MSRP, not MSRP + your specific state's tax, as this thread is just what will pricing be for the gen 2...pricing of the truck, not pricing of the truck + tax + title + reg + fees lol. Of course then it can reach $70k once you add ownership costs, but the vehicle itself is still $60k.
So the gen 1 rap was pretty close in price to the KR, and now a fully loaded KR is just under $62k? Then I'd expect a fully loaded Rap to cost somewhere around there in that $60-65k range at MSRP.
What folks have to pay in state tax, lux tax, tags, title, registration, etc. is all separate costs.
