CLUELESS Dealers!

"Yup. You can order an all-new F-150 Raptor today. Contact your Ford dealer for details. Good luck!" - Mike Levin via twitter 2 hours ago.

Call to 3 dealers? "We have a wait list for that -or- We don't have any information on it yet -or- oh they're in limited production like the shelbys"

For the one I was on a wait list for? "Hey- I AM on your wait list, now please go check the order banks and let's get my order going." His reply? "Well I'm dealing with two other customers right now, I'll have to get back to you"

What the ****? You wanna sell a god damned vehicle or not? The **** you answer the phone for if you're working with TWO OTHER customers right now?

******** man...

Whoa dude. It's not the dealers fault that Ford is being shady. Trust me, the dealer wants to sell you a vehicle.

Honestly, not the ones I've called around me. I started originally calling them months ago to find out about ordering one. Every one of them played the "how much are you going to pay over MSRP?" game. So, no, it's not just corporate.

If the "North American Communications Manager" for Ford releases PUBLICLY via a fast medium (twitter) that you can go ahead now and order your 2017 Ford Raptor, then you should know what the hell is up.

then explain why the dealer here in Tucson wont even talk to me unless I am willing to pay minumum 10k over msrp???

Tell him to check to make sure he still has a **** while he's at it. Idiots.

Everyone's frustrated and we know more than dealers all thanks to Ford, sadly.

I do agree that it's pretty lame for dealers to price gouge already though especially considering nobody has any pricing or specs.

Dealing with Ford dealers is the worst.

realistically, if Ford gave dealers a heads up on all the details but didn't want it to be public yet, it would still end up on here same day because someone would leak it in no time.
