Buy or Hold?

[JB 2014 Raptor SCrew]

BUY.

There is no 2015 Raptor. You better order by May timeframe if you want one, or wait until 2016. And no one knows what the 2016 will look like or be powered with.

2015 will be the new chassis, but as far as internet speculation and Ford's website shows, there is no 2015 model year Raptor

Based off the huge profit and success of the Raptor brand, it is highly likely that a more badass version of the truck on the new platform will surface for the 2016 model year.

IDK where you 2 are getting your info from, but I wouldn't hold your breath banking on a '16 Raptor

There is currently a $1k rebate for Raptor's, and a $500 Rebate for military on any Ford. Ford also has a $6250 rebate on all 2014 Crew Cabs for the military. This is taken after the discount we get off of MSRP, which by my calculations is about 5% over invoice.

Better jump on it There ISN'T a '15 Raptor coming out or one scheduled to come out anytime soon

So in addition to a Raptor you are buying a new house with a bigger garage? Sweet!!

I am lol I made sure my new house would be deep enough to fit a Super Crew long bed F150 or a Super Cab long bed F250 and tall enough doors to fit a Raptor. Unfortunately, my house won't be done til Sept/Oct so she'll have to sleep outside for 3-4 months

What's the "flash-to-bang" on these trucks from order to delivery?

There is not set time. All depends on what order your order is in at the dealership and if they have allocation or not

Oh, I placed my order today. Can't take delivery until I redeploy anyway (20 Oct). Should be ready by then I reckon.

As long as they have an allocation or you and nothing happens as far as parts shortages I'm sure it will easily be ready before October

Have you heard of any potential parts shortages? The salesman said I should get a VIN in the next month. Does that sound accurate to those of you who ordered your trucks this year?

The $500 rebate is standard for all military vehicles through ENCS.

The $1000 rebate shows up as a rebate on the quote but it isn't from Ford - it is a discount from ENCS to get folks to order. It is simply a reduction in their profit.

Folks can find better deals than ENCS if you REALLY REALLY work at it. However, you will be guaranteed a truck and an allocation. ENCS puts orders in directly through to ford - no middle man - and their orders ALWAYS get pulled. I got one of the last 2012s built and I ordered almost on the last day orders were taken.

If I were you, I wouldn't wait until 2016. No telling what engine will be in that truck but it won't be the 6.2. In time (my opinion) the GEN1 raptors will be much more desirable in the way similar to the hard core offroad guys want the 2010 and 2011s.

Bottomline - that is a great price, the Raptor won't depreciate like the Platinum and you will be kicking yourself for ever for not getting the Raptor. When I went to look at a Raptor at local dealer they didn't have one. The salesmen was throwing an FX4 at me telling me there was no way I would get a raptor and gave me an offer of over $12K off MSRP. Momma was pissed but I just said I couldn't do it. I would like the FX4 for about 2 months and then hate myself. That said, there isn't a day that goes by 18 months later that I don't grin ear to ear when I see my truck. I will have that thing forever.

Buy through ENCS now.

Couldn't have said it better myself. DO IT NOW!!!


I need to install those headers still...

Pulled the trigger yesterday after my wife essentially told me it was the Raptor or nothing. Now I just have to wait seven months before I can drive it.
