No Raptor for me ...any truth to this ?

$80k is just crazy

That's just their list price. You can always negotiate. I will say I have yet to find a dealer willing to sell one off the lot for less than $5k over.

I stand corrected...Good to know this has changed for the worst. Glad I'm not in the market...Yet.

Good luck navigating the mess.

If you actually order one as a customer it doesn't count against dealer allocation. Any dealer can order one. Don't let them play games with you, ask them to show you the order or walk.

It WAS this way with Gen 1's, not so with Gen 2's. That is how I got screwed by my dealer. Placed order for $1K over invoice. She had 1 allocation for an MSRP customer. Placed my order ....with CF. Never got built because I would not remove CF. She gave to other customer. Then she said she could not get any more because Ford was not giving out allocations to "retail" orders like they were in past years. So I"m screwed starting over 6 months later! Now I'm paying $1500 over MSRP for a sure thing allocation. Some dealers just suck. But I can't entirely blame the dealer since Ford is not giving out many allocations with the GEN 2's ....probably because they shipped so many to China ARRGGHH.

My friend just bought one last week on the lot at MSRP. There are deals pop up here and there at MSRP on the lot but they go fast. I just posted a blue scab MSRP deal yesterday.

Here's the only one I could find (doesn't have bedliner, but Line-X for that):

2017 New Ford F-150 Raptor at Magic City Ford Lincoln Roanoke Serving Roanoke Lynchburg Bedford, VA, IID 15982009

You can click on the window sticker link on that page to see everything it has. Don't know if this is still available, but as I said, only one I found with the options you have listed in your sig.

Many thanks photoneffect, I appreciate your help .

This! My order was sold out from underneath me and I scrambled when a friendly forum member let me know a dealer received one. They wanted 10k over.

Two days of negotiations later, I paid $800 over sticker. Yes, still over MSRP, but I had already gotten rid of my Chevy thinking I had a raptor arriving at the other dealership. I needed a truck because it's cold riding a motorcycle in 30 degreee weather.

Thats awesome you got the dealer from $10K ADM down to $800. I just hang up on dealers when they said $5K+ over.

I lucked out. The silly $800 extra was the ResistAll stuff they applied on it when the vehicle arrived, plus rear wheel well liners. Had a hard time fighting the extra cost because they already put the crap on there and I was tired of arguing.

Full heated Gerbings can keep you riding into the teens while still being toasty warm. Your tires might not stick for $hit, but you’ll be toasty warm
Others have reported pushing into colder temps than me, I saw 17F one day, and was still comfy in the heated Gerbings. Seems to me a more economical solution than a Raptor.

Not that I bought the Raptor for economical reasons...

I can't believe for as many times allocation on Raptors has been discussed that there are still this many misinformed people. Sheesh
