2022 3.5L V6 base Raptor is now $70,370…CRAZY???

[Yoshi]

I always thought these were a steal at $65k. I know people have strong opinions on base models vs fully loaded, but I think Ford’s margin on base models is less than high trims (for the Raptor).

Now at $70k, not so sure base model is worth it - my build sheet for a 22 37 is like $77k.

I paid 65k for my loaded 18 6k off and I feel thats way high for what you get. Maybe 50k loaded would be a good deal. 6 cylinder with cheap plastic interior parts and vinyl seats with leather inserts. If you compare the raptor quality to my lexus ls and lx, not even close. But I'm a sucker for offroad trucks so I ordered a 37.

That’s about $73k in 2022, at least you get an interior that’s a decade better, coils in the back, and way better tech today. You can tell where the money went on these, all in the engineering / suspension.

SCAB is not coming back, unfortunately.

The Raptor has evolved and the short bus Raptor is to trucks what neanderthal man is to humans.

Sounds like you had a pavement princess. Do some really off roading/desert driving and it is money well spent.

If i take it offroad on my way to Starbucks does that count?

22 GMC AT4 with a 6.2 or F350 6.7...might start looking more attractive now. I've been blessed to have owned 3 Raptors, however at a certain point they just aren't worth it anymore.

Correct. 2022 37 will be my last Raptor. 2032 Raptor for 125K base is a no go for me. Probably just keep my 37 forever and rebuild as needed.

Youre lucky to have all that cave space to park your truck.

They must not have updated the build and price site yet. The MSRP on the B&P site w/destination charges is $67,070.
I've owned 2 Gen2 SCABs. I'd probably in the market for a Gen3 if they brought back the SCAB.

The $70,370 base price will be after the upcoming $3,300 price increase.

There will be another price increase towards the end of year too. That’s common ford practice because when they increase the price year, it doesn’t seem high
