2019 Ford Raptor Dealer Allocation & Orders

[Raptor911]

Ford's deal is with AT&T. You get a 3-month trial at 3GB total (whichever comes 1st) then you can sign-up with AT&T at $20 per month if you like it.

Which carrier?

The 2018 has new headlights. All 2018 F150s trims have new headlights with only one exception >> Raptor.

the 2018 headlights are much more sculptured and not as squared off as the 2017 headlights.

I would not be surprised that the 2019 Raptor will use the new headlights which would involve minor front end changes to accommodate them.

+1 on this opinion. Even the updates to the F150 line in 2018 were incredibly minor. New front grill, stamped "F150" on the tailgate, but the interior is the same and other options have remained mostly static.

Personally, I liked the grills on the 2015-2017 F150s more than the new 2018 grills. I hope the Raptor keeps its styling for another year or two.

God I hope not I really don’t like the new 2018 headlights

If anything I would expect 2019 Raptors to pull in the Wifi hotspot, the full auto start stop functionality and maybe enhanced auto parking features available on the other F150's.

But that's all.

Maybe - just maybe - a different graphics package and or color options.

They use AT&T. I'm hoping that the 2019's have it available - if so I'll be retrofitting.

Kind of...

What new trucks in 19 that compete with the Raptor?

What’s the motivation for Ford to change anything on the Raptor?

It has no competition...there is no horsepower war like Mustang and Camaro....

They sell every single unit. No reason to change the current Raptor.

I completely agree with the first half of that but the truth of the matter is they don’t sell every single unit, in my state alone there are 15+ New 2017’s for sale.

Look to the Gen-1 timeline on how Ford updates the Raptor. There will be no major changes. You will likely gain a new color and lose a previous color. Small creature comfort and cosmetic minor changes only.

Last day to order a 2018 is 5/18/18. I would expect the 2018 order banks to open in July-ish.

What do you mean by “order banks” to open in July-ish...?

Whoa whoa whoa. I heard the 2019 Raptor is going to include the GT engine, have an augmented reality HUD, actually brew Starbucks coffee, and put my kids to bed. Anything less is a complete failure.

Hennessey Performance must be adding the “TT”?

Inquire on the price of those "15+ New 2017’s for sale" and you will discover real quick why they haven't sold. Demand is definitely not the problem.

Surprised that there are still "new" 17s available and people are buying them. They would need a $10k discount in order to sell now.

I wouldn't count on many updates since it's only 2 years old at this point.

Ditto, and with so many other new products being introduced (or in the pipeline - Ranger/Ranger Raptor, Bullitt, GT500, and rumor that Ford is getting ready to refresh many other models) not likely Raptor will get any major changes...plus it's still selling at a brisk pace...

Don't forget the steering wheel is going to have an extra hand....

LOL, having just shopped for a new Raptor, there aren't any at $10K below MSRP. My bet is that these remaining 2017's are at dealers who are still at $10 - $15K over...and yet here on the West Coast, they're still selling them over MSRP. I was able to find a couple of dealers willing to sell at $5K over, but went out of state at $1K under and looking forward to the road trip home.
