2017 Raptor QandA

[Bulletnjm]

I was under the impression that it would be hitting the dealerships in Fall of 2016?

When i ordered my M5 a few years back, BMW let me place a order 8 months prior to release. I assume Ford will allow something similar?

Hey man cant answer your question but, do you have anymore pics of your truck? i looked on your photo bucket in your signature and i wanted to see more pics of the light rack you have

Couldn't buy it even with the new features as never had a truck or Mustang with a 6-banger and don't intend to start

Normally the order banks for current year close mid August, the plant re-tools and the next year order banks open around September. So most likely be able to order Septemberish and have possible delivery by end of year 2016 or early 2017.

My main question to ask would be "Did Ford finally address the power steering issue and finally upgrade to something that will perform better?" due to the simple fact that power steering sucks so damn much. I personally have gone through 5 full replacements so far.

This would be a good question for someone to ask at Havoc

I hope someone will end up asking. I will be replacing mine with the Howe replacement, but as a production truck that is one major issue that Ford should address.

From reading through the pricing thread, am I correct in assuming most of the dealers listed on there will be negotiable to sell the '17 raptor near invoice just as on the current*Raptor*as long as you are ordering and then waiting as opposed to picking one off the lot.

NO. Wrong Assumption.

Most dealers are no where near invoice whether you order one or buy one off the lot.

Do you mean early when the truck launches or at any point? There is an entire thread on dealers doing deals near $1k invoice price. That's what I mean when I say near invoice btw.

 

[Raptor911]

At any point. I only know of 2 dealers that do near invoice as policy. Some dealers, it depends on whether or not they are in a good mood when you walk in.

Please remember, Raptor availability is based on allotment. In other words, Mother Ford dictates how many Raptors a dealership can sell. So if a dealership is only allotted 5 Raptors every year than they will maximize their profit by selling them as high above MSRP as the market will support.
