Official 2023 Raptor R Order Thread

So sad to see the ADm's like that!!! Ford will lose more orders to the TRX at that rate. Geezzz

Here ya go! I also failed to mention the exhaust note, it's fricken music. A cold start this morning (23 degrees) sounded like a Nascar.

Can you take some pics of the hood? Noticed when you select “Graphics Delete” it removes the “Unique Hood” on the online builder.

I would like to see the sales to date of the R. Then compare that to the sales of the TRX for the same amount of time.....of the TRX to date inception.

Example: Raptor R was up for sale June 2022, how many were sold to this date? TRX started selling June 2021 to January 2022, how many were sold?

Stats.

I believe the Raptor R is limited right now. Maybe that will change. As I recall, When the TRX was introduced and the launch edition sold out in a few hours, the company said the TRX would not be a limited production vehicle. So comparing sales and availability between vehicles may not yield any good comparisons at this time. Maybe if Ford produces as many as people demand the comparison may be meaningful. In my case, I waited for the Raptor R release. Once The local dealers said there will be huge markups on the Raptor R my decision was easy. Dollar for dollar the TRX was my choice. And that's just my opinion of course. You know how opinions are. LOL

P.S. I love Raptors and had a 2017. It was an amazing truck!!! And still looks the best by far!!!! But again, just my opinion. Wished they dropped the 5.2 in that design. Maybe that would have changed my mind. LOL

Long live the Raptor!!!

Ford knows what it's doing on pricing and a little ADM isn't gonna stops the folks who Ford built this truck for. They are paying close attention to sales in order to produce the correct amount next year or anytime after.

New dealer lingo "little"...translated $50K.

Of course everyone will sell (quickly) and Ford won't do what Stellantis did with TRX by pumping them out like candy.

Ford was kind enough to bring 3 R’s to Snoball this year. The driver of the black one let me sit in and give it a good rev. It sounds awesome.

 

[Donovan]

I can't lie.

I am getting kinda excited for 2025, because that is the year where I can probably afford one or at least test drive one at FORD because they'll be 100k and available for us REGULAR PEASANTS.

Sorry for the delay y'all, had to pick the wife up from the airport this morning. Snapped a couple of pics when we stopped for lunch on the way home and once home in the daylight this time lol.
My initial impressions have far exceeded my expectations. Everything about the driving experience is nice and tight, similar to that of an Audi, BMW, etc... The power is immense!! I'm still babying her until I hit a thousand miles and haven't even come close to doing any full pulls, but it's extremely responsive, smooth, and will easily pin you to your seat with less than half throttle punches (my wife said stop launching this thing at every light to which I responded that wasn't even half throttle lol. She was super impressed to say the least.) The truck rides down the road like a cloud, the seats are beyond comfortable, and large bumps/potholes are barely noticeable. The 37's do present a larger turning radius I'll have to get used to, but otherwise not bad. My previous daily driver was a 2017 Raptor. This thing is 10x better in every imagineable way. I have never owned a TRX, but have driven one. It doesn't hold a candle compared to the R, but that's all I'll say about that as it's more of a formulated opinion and about as worthwhile as arguing over which bourbon is better. Here's some more pics, can't wait to hear from everyone else who gets to pick up theirs over the next few weeks!

congrats. mine (lol on order no build date even yet) is same color but now I did the graphics package. I may take off side ones and leave hood. I did this on my Gen2
