Trust me, I agree in principle. They’re reducing costs for sure, but given demand they would be insane to pass any of that cost savings on to the consumer. I’d imagine a 2.5-4% price increase on MSRP.
Each quarter?

I’ve seen/heard 2 R’s lately and I gotta say, they don’t sound anywhere as cool to me as the GT500 does. For all the expense, hype, adm’s, and loss of fuel economy and more importantly range, I really don’t get the appeal. At least not at current market prices. It’s not like it off roads any better than a normal Raptor, which is why I have one in the first place.

GT 500 sounds fast, the Raptor has to sound tough!

I have a Mach 1 to go fast. The Raptor V6TT is 'fast enough ' for a dang behemoth. I like em both for many different reasons.

Need to see the complete package for the refresh before I get excited. My '22 is doing better so right at the moment.

Lot shorter distance that exhaust travels in the GT500, more aggressive stock exhaust note in the R may equate to more drone @ low rpm

It looks like only the R is getting the bumper. The headlights are strange, they’re just different enough to barely notice but still not that different. Why bother?
