Seeing that Ford announce that the Raptor R is really coming..

What amazes me is that Ford has told dealers not do mark up vehicles, and yet they still are.

I believe Ford was referring to unrealistic mark-ups, not something like $5K over. I would say $30K definitely tarnishes the brand.

Great Idea! Anxious to hear more about the Raptor-R V8

Anything over MSRP tarnishes the brand IMHO, regardless of whether it's a Ford, Chevrolet, etc.

Seems like every other week a brand new 700HP+ Truck EV is slated for "Near Term Production"? FMC needs to finally launch the Raptor R ASAP and get it out there !

The only way to stop the ADMs is to get rid of the monopoly that most automakers have with the dealers. Give the people the option to buy direct from Ford and see how long the ADMs last at dealers.

For sure but yet I'm still seeing people saying dealers are marking up 2022s over $20k.

People that already have deposits are just financing their stealership owners new Patek at 0% interest while they wait to be told the ADM on their Raptor R is $100K and eta is 5 years

I wish I hadn't sold my 5711/1A at double MSRP in 2019. I can't believe what they are bringing now.

Ford has done ADM for years on limited allocation cars. This is the first vehicle I've considered paying ADM on but I stop at the 5k mark. Luckily I have a good relationship with the dealer for my first order and my second order from a new dealer had an allocation without ADM. I think building a relationship with a dealer goes along ways and if they are honest from the get go I will give them future business. Ive already asked for the Bronco Raptor allocation and don't see any issue there besides what will probably be a 1 year wait.

I am still seeing 20-30k on 2021 GT500 CFTP cars. I don't think I would hold that on my floor plan for 7 or more months.

I thought that only applied to the new electric F150 lightning… no mention of any other vehicle
