Want to order 2017 Raptor

[Bigbo076]

Oh my, To add to the Chaos, I found out that Ford is planning a 5.0L V8 Twin Turbo Raptor for 2018.
Maybe I should wait...
Update: Twin-Turbo V8 in the new Raptor: The F-150 Raptor will also receive the upcoming EcoBoost 5.0 V8 in 2018 | HorsepowerKings.com

It's on the Internet, must be true!

HPK is click bait. Have they been right before, yes (broken clocks are right twice a day) but most of everything on there is pure ********

ah. Did not know... I was marinating in that ********. Thanks for pulling me out! I'll stay happy with the V6 Raptor order.

Yeah, I can't say I would be surprised if it did happen since it wouldn't be the first time Ford did that (See 2010 mustang redesign but 5.0 coyote didn't follow until 2011)

I'm on the edge myself. Going to wait until MY2018 to see if anything happens. If not i'll suck up the sound of the 6. Sound aside everything else is better on the truck. Should be excellent nonetheless

That's my thought process too.

I'm ok with the V6TT(it is what it is) just waiting to see if any gremlins pop up with the 17's and the fact that it's tough to find one now for a good deal.

Anyone else heard of the "addendum fee" that the dealers are adding? Today I went to a Ford dealer here in Southern California and they said they were authorized 21 orders and had a couple left. Then he said there was an addendum fee of $15000 added to the msrp since the vehicle is in high demand, same for the GT350. I was ready to drop the deposit until he hit me with the extra 15k bs.

Greed. They call it supply and demand. Also known as ADM (adjusted dealer markup). It goes right into the dealers pocket. Since the Raptors aren't limited realistically to a certain amount of units per year talk your money elsewhere. I just went through all that crap on my GT350R, however the 350R is extremely limited

The dealer I am using here in GA is selling mine at MSRP, and still have 3 allocations left. Trying to get it for less than sticker since I hate paying full price for anything.
