Why would they give it standard treatment when they’re only building ~2500/year?
This years allocations are already all already sold, the fact they’re doing any press is shocking.
Odds a consumer gets an R in hand in next 68 days

2500 trucks at $112,000 = $280,000,000
They can afford some proper press, thanks though.

Beyond that math alone, the brand awareness from special vehicles tends to bring buyers for other models. They come in wanting the R and settle for a regular Raptor or F150

Not a chance, they have to get all the built R's to the youtubers and journalists. Then the dealerships string us along like crabs in a bucket, after tacking on a $30k adm then and only then everybody should get their 2023 R in 2026.
I understand your point, but by that logic the Ford GT should have just been sent straight to the dealerships without telling anyone. The true value of the Raptor R is as the most powerful production F-150 ford has ever made. It is the Ford GT for Baja, yet its treated like the mid-lifecycle refresh of the fusion. Maybe I'm reading into it too much and my fragile millennial constitution can't take the insult, however I'd have hoped for a little more substance to Ford's unveiling of the vehicle we've been waiting for since the debut of the Gen 2 Raptor. It just doesn't seem like Ford really cares about the Raptor R and that's what's most disappointing.
