Good problem to have...my 2025 should be here shortly. It is a decent deal, $5k over. I love my current 37PP with upgrades. Who has made the leap from a regular to R? Was it worth it? I have other cars to go fast in. Now that the truck is here I am on the fence....Much appreciated.

It doesn’t make sense on paper, it’s an emotional decision. To me it was completely worth the extra money. Every Gen 3 Raptor is just an awesome truck, I’d be stoked to have any of them, but the R is an absolute riot. Just feels and sounds more substantial and the power is a pure novelty.

My car is faster though.

Boostcreep is correct. I get emotional at the moment of truth when the checkbook comes out.
I really feel most vehicles are overpriced.
The only regret on buying the Raptor R is not driving it enough! That being said I am taking the R out today. It has been sending emails to me about shutting down to conserve the battery!

$5k over is good and a better deal than 99% than the rest, presently. With that being said, inventory is piling up and there are already hundreds more 2025s in the queue for production. Many owners of 2024s traded in their 2023s because of the HP bump and other upgrades too, so I think the relatively unchanged 2025s will be more abundant.

I just had my 2023 35” detailed and it reminded me that I can wait a while. Although I’m keeping my eyes open, I think things will be better once the average advertised ADM is $5-10k over, and great when that fades away.

Who knows, maybe in a year, it ends up like the Bronco Raptor!

I started with a 37…. Traded it for a R and bought a 801a for a daily driver …. They all are great trucks … you can’t go wrong

Had multiple 35', then multiple 37's, then '24 R (sold it after a month--there is thread on it), back into 37 and very happy. YMMV.
