Official 2023 Raptor R Order Thread

[dlapham]

Crossing my fingers for you, especially if they follow through with MSRP. There’s a lot of dealers saying that and then when they receive the R they sell it out from under the original buyer. Hope this is not your case. I paid 20kADM for mine.

Yeah, I did a lot of reading on dealers, and contacted the ones with a reputation of not doing that. That being said, I'll plunk down a large deposit if/when I get a VIN number and build date.

@Stormtrooper -- You seem to know you stuff. Is the part about having a decent chance when ordering from a dealer without allocation here true for the Raptor R, or just standard Raptor? I did order from a rural dealer that isn't next to an interstate. Not super small, but not a large city dealership for sure.

Buying a Raptor - FAQ

Saw a suggestion from @smurfslayer about posting an FAQ for Buying a Raptor. First and foremost... there is a tremendous amount of information shared within a number of threads over the last several years that's been super helpful to me. I don't proclaim to be an expert, but I have experience...

The issue with these trucks particularly the 37pkg and more on the R is the available allocation which are hard to come by. Without an allocation, any dealer can put in your order and it will sit as an unscheduled/clean order for the entire year and will be removed once the order banks close for that given year.

The Rs are bringing big money on the coasts. 15-30k seems to be a solid deal on a R if the stars line up for you. Msrp is more of a unicorn than you might think and a lot of dealers have been changing their pricing once it delivers. Get a signed purchase agreement up front.

Thanks for that. Since I have a standard raptor on order also, and it's not a big deal to me if I don't get it, we'll just see how this goes. I'll report back here. Should be a fun experiment.
