How many 2020 Raptors will be Built

[Allan A]

I just purchased my second Raptor. The first was a 2010 that will be for sale soon. The new 2020 is really a fantastic truck. Really glad I bought it, was thinking of a sports car but this just filled the void. With Covid, I am wondering how many 2020 trucks were built. I am sure the numbers will be very low compared to other years. If they start the factory now will they just move to 2021 models. Could be a collectors year.

Raptors aren't going to be collector vehicles

lol....ford sells 1,000,000+ F150's a year globally. So for 2020, the plant shut down 3 months. Now they only sold 700,000.

A little tightening of inventory is actually good for sales. But the Raptor will never be a "collectors item" in terms of extra high resale value.

I would not say that per se, they could be like the 80s-90s Broncos and bring premium money even though they really are not worth that much.

Found this on another thread:

2010: 10,437

2011: 11,135

2012: 13,784

2013: 19,688

2014: 22,409


So it could be possible they have a very low number for 2020. I am not talking about every F150 on the road just Raptors.

If anything makes the 2020 worth more, I'm banking on Ford updating the design for 2021. Just a SWAG. A Gen3. I keep hearing rumors about a powerstroke engine option...

Regardless, I just traded my 2014 in because I got a heck of a deal due to the China Virus crashing the local economy. Time will tell.

I've heard that Ford will take a break with the Raptor in 2021, coming back in 2022 with gen 3. By then, odds are reasonable that Ford will have declared bankruptcy, dumped the pension plan on the taxpayers, and sold out to VW. Ford's truck business is worth more than Ford as a whole, so it will be interesting to see if the truck line gets sold separately. The buyer will want only the truck line and the Ford family will want to sell the whole thing, so it could get amusing. It would all the fun out of the us-them thing when it becomes VW vs Fiat. Then again, since VW sells lots of fuel-efficient cars, maybe a V8 could actually become possible. If Ford remains independent, I predict a hybrid before a V8, even if Fiat actually comes through on the TRX. A hybrid could do 0-60 in 3 seconds. Who needs a V8 at that point?

Gen 2 Raptors were 23K in 2017 and more every year after that (probably closer to 30K now). 2020 could be slightly less, but the truck is more or less identical to 2019 and not that different from 2018 and earlier. Gen 2 could hold their value a bit if Ford stops making Raptors for a couple years between gens, but nothing about a "2020" will make it worth more than any other gen 2.

Rumor is that they manufacture 80 Raptors per day.

Well that ford selling to vw is the funniest thing i hve heard in long time.
