37 - $88K (about what you can get one for...call it 90K)
the point is ford should have never put a v6 in a raptor if not for the trx ( i dislike) they would have continued forcing v6’s down our throats. poor mpg + sounds like a rice box and on top of it all it only weighs 100#s less than a v8 even the mpg argument does not work my 37 pkg hand calculated average mpg was 13.7mpg over 300 miles to the beach ( truck had 14xxx miles) my R driving the same route normal acceleration netted 12.9 after multiple hand calculations and 4 trips… it got me thinking what is the purpose of a v6 if not for fuel mileage? was it away for ford to falsely inflate mpg’s / make more profit? what does Eco mean because it can’t mean economy with a 37pkg apparently?
If you can stand the wait time, you can order a TRX for around $10,000ish off sticker. TRX’s on the lot tend to be closer to MSRP. That’s still considerably less than 90% of the Raptor R’s with big mark ups.
We hope you enjoy your R in the best of health for many years to come. I and I’m sure many here are envious. But please take the word “only” out of I paid $135k.
You’re going off on a tangent that is not supported by anything factual. Cool story on overpaying for an R, sounds like you really get off on that. The 3.5 HO GTDI is the best engine in the F-150 lineup sans the 5.2 R engine; the fact that you think a Gen 3 sounds like a “rice box” just shows you’re only talking trash, which is all you’ve done on this forum since you joined 3 years ago. It’s all very ironic coming from a diehard Gen 1 fanboy, which is about an 8 second 0-60 slug, yet you somehow weren’t getting “beaten by minivans” then?

if you were concerned about the speed of it then why not just tune it? i have ran a 12.7 qaurter mile @108mph i think it was on this 18 raptor on 35s with a e50 tune. i now ride on 36s and i can run straigth e85 tune for max power but e50 has been more than enough for this truck. i have yet to be beaten by any truck on the road, i know im not the fastest and not even close to being one but just saying that i have smoked most small cars that normally would easily beat a stock raptor from the line but instead got humiliated, the sound isnt the best , ecp compared to gen 3 and what they were able to do with the diff exhaust tones which sounds alot better than my stock exhaust but its not bad. i am just ready for a new truck as i have had this one 5 years now.
I agree, but I also don't agree. I think these prices are here to stay and we are being slowly conditioned. The Fed won't do a damn thing about the 3 years of printing, rates are already at all time recent highs. Labor, materials, shipping costs etc will go down soon?? don't think so.
