W1N,
I have a dealer rec for you. When I went to buy my 2020 SCAB, I met with several dealers in both Illinois and Michigan, and they were complete trainwrecks: over sticker and arrogant beyond belief. I somehow came across a dealer in Waukeshau, Wisconsin, and the experience was so high-quality that I've made a point of telling others about them. They gave me a price over the phone, none of the awful gotta-talk-to-my-manager nonsense, and the price was spot-on what truecar.com said it should be. They worked hard to find me exactly what I wanted, and they made the transaction smooth and painless.
The name of the outfit is Griffin Ford; their site is, unsurprisingly, GriffinFord.com. The salesman I dealt with is Matt Strosin, and he was absolutely top notch. As noted, no nonsense, and a genuinely friendly guy. He has even provided service after the sale, in hunting down answers to couple of questions I had that I could not resolve elsewhere. The best dealer experience I have ever had, across buying a whole bunch of cars over the decades.
One additional note: I see you live in Helsinki. Well, about 25 years back, I started running Blizzaks in the winter on all my vehicles, and have loved them. No doubt you have harder winter conditions than Chicago, but Chicago is bad enough. Problem was, there are no winter-dedicated tires in the Raptor OEM size. Given that the OEM tires are designed for warmer climes, I was worried how they would do in the snow. Just in the last week, I had a chance to find out, with a fresh, heavy snowfall. I went to a big parking lot and put the truck through its paces -- acceleration, turning, braking -- and I was very happily surprised as to how well it did!
Anyway, best of luck to you, and hope you join the ranks of Raptor owners soon.
