Would be nice to name "Eni" as referrer, but no biggy if you don't do it. I will get $100 for each referrals.
See details below. I am not affiliated with the dealership, but I bought my raptor from them, they are very professional and don't exhibit crook tendencies!

$3k off custom 2019 order and $4k off 2019 and 2018 on lot. However I bought their only 2019 currently on lot today. $75,255.00 msrp.
If he tries not to honor, I doubt, tell him the tall guy with british accents referred you, tell him the guy that bought the white 2019. That should help!
Ok, just got home with 19 raptor. I had to do interstate driving to get it home and then some suburbs etc. It does seem to drive a little stiffer, but I loved it. I did notice that the back wheels seem much more planted than the 17. I used to hate when you hit a bigger bump in the road at 70+ mph the back end would skip sideways a little.. never did anything crazy, just not a great feeling.. the 19 did none of that. Definately feel the road more in the new 19s...

SO GLAD TO BE BACK IN A RAPTOR!!!!
thanks for confirming my claim about the 2019. Stiffer, and I felt the Road more as well in my 2019. Posted it and some folks got their feelings hurt. You will feel the car climb even a little gravel stone, and Unpaved roads. Still drives better than 2018 though.

Well, I did go out and check (should have done before I drove it home) the pressure in the tires, and just like almost everyone else seems to be saying, my pressure was at 50 psi in all 4. I will drop them down to 38-40 and see if that changes it.

Want to make sure I am clear, it's stiffer, but not what I would call a "stiff ride".

Please give your feedback after setting tire pressure to spec. I'm going back and forth between the 18 and 19. When I test drove both back to back the weekend before last, I thought the 18 was smoother, but the 19 I drove was a base model with the cloth seats(dont recommend cloth over leather for overall feel)

Will do...I would have gone with 18 just to get leadfoot, but the discount i got on the 19 made way more sense for resale etc. I am planning on a matte leadfoot wrap in the next little while, so win win.

Ok. I have both front and back at 40 PSI.
Lets see if 38 will be better

Doesn't look like your almighty negotiations have really spawned any newfound blip in the Raptor sales. Your dealer isn't even helping now. Not a dealer. But I am a business man who believes in capitalism. Pretty noble that you feel the need to price fix all Raptor sales all by your self. Or should I say delusional. Can't wait to see your next conquest. Maybe you can get on BP or Exxon and get us lower gas prices. I am sure you feel entitled there also.
:biggrin:. Are you jelly because I am exposing the crook dealers, or are you mad because you didn't buy below MSRP?
I never came to you to derail your purchase. Let me do what I want to do here in peace. I am just helping new buyers. Even if they don't buy from this dealer they can use the price to negotiate!
