I was finding deals almost as good as that when I decided to order my 19 anyway.

Very few buyers what a Raptor with every option when it brings the sticker to $74k and change.
I bought mine for 6k off msrp. My dealer sold 3 with a sticker of 71k for 65k. I believe he's got 1 more 18 coming in he's probably going to sell 6k off. There not hard to find if you know where to look and have cash to get out if state. $100 doc fee is all I paid plus airfare. He even picked me up from the airport.
I don't know if it's very few that want a dealer bloatmobile, but I wager a signficant subset don't want one. Prob is, a huge percentage of the raptors on the lots have every box automatically ticked by the dealer, so I don't know how one would get a good feel for what customers actually want. My expectation is that most of the raptors sold off the lots are at least 3k$ in options over what the buyer actually wanted, but the buyer didn't have a choice and/or didn't feel like waiting months. Probably a study of special order raptors would be telling, though it'll be skewed by individuals ordering specifically because they didn't want the bloat.
Because what I wanted (leadfoot) was denied by the factory when I finally got around to ordering, I traveled 900 miles to get the options I wanted -- which involved no stickers, no tech pkg, no sunroof.
Good on your for posting potentially good deals.
Apparently, here's one way to create a 74k$ 2018 raptor:
