2019 Raptor Intel

Entirely possible the $1400 difference is for blue alcantara inserts vs black alcantara inserts on the same Recaro seats. On the 2018 the orange accent package was $795 and that’s was for orange vs grey leather trim on the seat edges. Alcantara is always more. They refer to it as the Raptor Interior Color Blue Accent Package which is described as:

“Blue Accent Front-Seats – 40/console/40, Unique Leather Insert Seating Surfaces, Blue Accent Rear-Seat Seating Surfaces. Unique Dash and Door-Panel Appliqué Finish.”

There is no mention of Recaro as being part of that package. They use the word “unique” instead which is also used in the description of the standard seats when you don’t get the blue accent package. They also make it a point to specify “surfaces” which implies there are no change to the seat structure or design itself. Nobody knows for sure until the blue oval fat lady sings but all signs are pointing to Recaros being standard on all 2019 Raptors.

Hmmm interesting point. If this is the case that’s great I’ll just stick with Black recaros , makes the price increase not so bad after all. Maybe that’s how my guy interpreted it as well that’s why he thought there were black recaros

I can't picture the normal black seat being Recaro branded. Recaro seats are pretty expensive and not likely Ford use them as standard. The Orange Accent group also was orange stitching throughout as well as unique copper toned trim. You get quite a bit for $795.

We just have to wait and see. Either way I couldn’t stomach the blue seats, Recaro or not, so I changed my order and deleted the blue accent package and added the CF package. To me it just doesn’t make sense the way they describe things in the order guide.

Just have to wait and get some insight from a dealer who as the inside line with Ford. I have called Ford to ask them this very question and no one in the marketing department could answer it.

The quote I posted is directly from the order guide. Doesn’t mention Recaros in the text only uses “unique”

"Unique Leather Insert Seating Surface..." -hmm pretty cut and dry, it is just accent surfaces, not actually new seats.

it does mention recaro on the package description, not sure why they didn't mentioned there

RAPTOR INTERIOR COLOR BLUE ACCENT PACKAGE (60R) Availability: • Optional on Raptor Luxury Not available with: • Raptor Carbon Fiber Pakcage (61C) Includes: • Aluminum Dash Panels • Recaro® Unique Seat / Console Coverings w/ Blue Accents • Unique High-Gloss Black Carbon Fiber: — Shift knob — Dash Appliqué — Door Appliqué — Media Bin Door RAPTOR CARBON FIBER

page 35, but I do see where you found the package without the recaro description, so this could be a recaro unique blue vs a recaro black, I'm thinking they would mention recaro on the order guide outside the 60R package, but will have to wait and see...

I just order my 2019 Raptor with every option from Kimber Creek Ford in MN I live in California and they add 10-15k markup. I spoke with Steve Olson and he ordered my truck AND THEN informed me of a $2k rebate!!!
WTF!!!?!? So my MSRP was 74,995. My price now was 72,995, I almost fell off m chair. I was talking to a guy in Houston Texas ford dealership and he said he could do MSRP only if I bought the 4K extended warranty and NEVER mentioned a rebate. So I’ll fly to MN and pickup my new Raptor
