Newbie - Considering leaving GM for a Raptor!

[Deleted member 12951]

There isn't much off-road places around me but I've been trying to go to Raptor events even if I have to travel. So if you get involved then it won't just see pavement.

There are more options than color and cab size. Go online to ford.com and build a raptor to see all the factory goodies.

Honestly mine doesn't see a lot of off roading unless gravel roads qualify....lol.....not that I don't want to but there just isn't anything close in the time frame I have.

That being said I have just as much fun driving any road, anywhere, any type, at any time of the year.....as fast as I want too....hahaha. The bonus also is that I know no matter what the road is like, I'll make it through to the other side.....lol.

You get used to the MPG's and could care less when in the truck. A few breather mods and a tune has put guys back in the 17-19MPG range. CAI and tune IIRC.

I have daily driven mine since I ordered it last year and put 15,000 miles on it because I take every chance I can to go out and play in it.

Good luck on the search I hope you come out victorious and we see a "Well I picked up a Raptor today" thread.

Sold my Avalanche and picked up the Raptor. Over the top happy with it.

here is one local to me...not sure if I love the white and black or if it's a tad bland and I should go with Race Red...

$59k though, yikes

I'd really appreciate that! What should I expect for invoice pricing?

Hey i am in ohio as well and the dealer i got mine at has a 13 terrain with every option that the owner demo drove and it has never been titled. I know they will work a deal for certain. call danny freedman 330-868-2277 tell him Mike that he sold the silver raptor to sent ya. good luck- keep in mind since this truck is still considered new you will get the tax break on your trade as well as have some leverage to deal since the truck has been driven.

Awesome, thank you! Could you PM me the name of the dealership? I think I might have stumbled across that truck on Autotrader last week, does it have a bunch of odd looking "Army" decals on it?

What is this tax break that you speak of? Are you referring to the tax only on the price of the Raptor minus the price of my trade?

I wonder how much they would move on the price?

I also called the owner of the dealership with the white raptor (posted above) and he is getting me a price today.

Local dealer came down some but not to invoice. Search continues!

at this time, i doubt you will find anything near invoice. possibly get msrp though

 

[cold1313]

Under msrp isn't a problem around here. Everything is so flat, there isn't much of a demand for these vehicles like there is for you guys out West
