The same truck I ordered in 21 was 81K and now is 87,115. No price protection for my 22 order. Let's see if they will honor the 1K price protection increase? Ice-Capades on blue oval said no price protection docs yet.

Paid 65K for my loaded 18. 6K off sticker. Definitely not worth 20K more for a different dash and 37's.
That's nuts to think about. If inflation and manufacturing keeps trending this way we'll be looking at $85K base price for Gen 4 and over $100K fully equipped before ADM. I wouldn't believe you in 2019 when I bought my 2020 Raptor that the prices would be where they are currently.

Agreed, this is an absolute joke (and not a funny one at that). I ordered Feb 1, 2022, still no VIN or build date. So far no price protection. Now loosing the heated steering wheel among other things? I was already at the top of my budget. Talk about dumping on customers: Telling us to pay 6,000-7,000 more for a truck and less features (that I want). As much as I want this truck, I'm seriously considering canceling and finding something else. That heated steering wheel delete is just one of those things that every time you drive the truck in the winter, you'll remember how much Ford screwed you for the life of the truck.

If you ordered February 1 and haven't received a VIN or Build Date by now, your dealer didn't have an allocation available.

Normally I'd agree with you, especially based on my general views on dealerships... But I bought the truck from a friend and know for sure they did have an allocation. There are some issues going on behind the scenes with the regional rep, but this is crazy.

2023 configurator is up and heated steering wheel is still included. Wouldn't it be nice to have full transparency when ordering a $76K+ truck?

I guess it's the price to pay when people are buying these things with ADM and trading up every couple years.

Just canceled my r order, I don’t want a stripper,for over approximately $120,000, order was at list, deposit placed January 2021.
Ford and the shyt show they have turned into can keep it. Their problems shouldn’t become my problems.
Besides my fully loaded basically perfect zero problems 19 raptor( delivered April 19)
$76,060 at list does nothing but go up in value. And truth be told it is quick and fast, and can break spin the tires loose on command. How fast can I go? already had it to100mph and was not topped out. Driven easy I’m getting 18 mpg with a 600 mile range on full tank. I love this truck and wouldn’t be happy getting a terribly built problem child raptor r piece of ****.
So I’ll stay happy ,no regrets, my ego won’t suffer as I’ll just take my 2020 rapid red gt500 out jamming.
TOO MUCH RISK WITH LITTLE REWARD. HERE!!
You almost had it topped out, speed limited to 105. Due to tire speed rating

Hope it works out for you and I'm wrong, but I respectfully disagree about the allocation.
