Two things have turned me off about trying to get one at least for now.
First, Ford says top speed is set at 112 mph. Slow for a 110k vehicle.
2nd, Big Star Ford told me it's ADM starts at 40k.

I had a deal at msrp they added a 25k adm I was furious almost backed out. I am on list for a sandblast trx as well for 5k over. Ford has gone full woke this is last of the muscle trucks before full electric nothing else coming down the raptor pipeline after the R. It was supposed to be a 3 year run that is now cut to 2 and seems to be very limited. We will see how limited as the tooling and production setup isnt cheap R&D and so on but that reflects the price. I heard for us less than 5k 22's and 23's and then its done.

Either Ford needs to change their sales model direct to consumer or legislation needs to be passed preventing second hand markups for new vehicles from dealerships. Yes capitalism, but it comes down to consumer protection when dealerships are charging unethical amounts past manufacturer suggested pricing.

Ford did change their sales model. If a dealership does not sell an order to the person who ordered it they lose allocations and can lose Franchise tag. They also upped the percentage you have to maintain based off orders

Well its clearly not working based off ordering experiences with the R on this thread.

Yeah but that does nothing to curb the market shortage and resulting craziness in pricing.
