[@GS-yx1rl]

As if ford and gm and others would risk making their top dealers mad, if only. Just shop around, i’ve never paid over MSRP, in fact on 6 of 7 new vehicles purchased since 2020 I’ve paid less than MSRP on all but 1. Average paid price of $2000 below MSRP.

@@JetSkiSuper7 Markups are not BS. That's how free markets work. If you don't like it shop elsewhere or buy something else. You can probably get a great deal on one of the F-150s that have been sitting on the lot for the past two months. It's not like dealers have been raking in money the past four years, most are barely surviving.

[@JetSkiSuper7]

@@plmn93 A fun fact about markups, it’s only the guys that have to have the latest vehicles that pay them. I’m reminded of the guys that paid $20k over sticker for the new Bronco and today, lots are flooded with them. Not only is their $20k gone, add depreciation on top of it.

Anyone else notice how the big 3 jacked up full size prices 30-40% right before they all rolled out their new, flagship mid-sizers?

[@stepside2839]

Have you noticed that the price of food & energy has risen over the past 3 years? Transportation cost have also risen. Diesel fuel has risen. The price of wood fuel pellets, too. It takes more dollars to purchase the same product. Interest rates have increased. Government mandates on what mfgs have to incorporate into there new products, now cost the manufacturers and they past it on to the consumer.

Fantastic!!! Been very much looking forward to your content with the new Ranger Raptor. Mine is still waiting to ship. So, getting to see and learn more about the truck is big help. I actually made up my mind that I really wanted to buy one after your coverage from the Ranger press event videos a few weeks ago. Found one available that was already in production so I jumped on it. I really wanted to know about comfort and features, and how well a taller bigger guy like me would fit. Thank you guys again for covering interior in detail, ease of entry / exit, seat comfort, knee room all that good stuff. To me having things like a B pillar crammed in my shoulder or knees bumping the dash or hard seats, are all deal breakers for me. Great job guys. I really appreciate your excellent coverage on the really important things.

[@Doc1855]

I absolutely LOVE Red vehicles. My last pickup was a 11 Ranger XLT super cab 4WD. We bought it used with only 20K miles. It was Silver. (We Hate Silver, Grey, Charcoal Grey and Black), but we bought it for $6K less than book price. It was mainly used for work around our property. I wanted to break up the Silver, so I had it 2 toned in Red metallic from the lower belt line down. It also had Gloomy Grey and Death Black interior so I had it reupholstered in Red with black trim and stitching. Everyone complimented me on what a beautiful truck it was. I sold it right before I bought my 23 Tacoma TRD double cab, 6’ bed with Premium and Technology pkgs. The Ranger had custom wheels, A/T tires, a K&N intake, Flowmaster exhaust, a LineX spray in bed liner, tonneau cover, running boards and red pinstripes, rear air shocks. It booked out for $22K and I sold it for $28K. It had only 36K miles. It looked show room new. The very first week of ownership with my 23 Tacoma, I installed a K&N cold air intake, a FlowMaster FlowFX turn down exhaust system. It’s White and I’m saving up to have it 2 toned as well in Barcelona Red metallic that will follow the body lines of my Tacoma. I’m currently waiting for Katzkin to finish making TRD Red seat covers with Black trim and stitching. After Katzkin removes the factory Black Leather seat covers and installs the TRD Red, my buddy is buying the Black Leather for his 23 TRD that has Grey cloth interior. I wish that my truck would have been painted the Barcelona Red, but finding any Tacoma TRD Off Road double cab with a 6’ bed and the Premium and Technology pkgs are VERY hard to find. Furthermore I bought my 23 on 2/29/24. It was the dealerships owners truck with 6K miles. It booked for $51,848, but I bought it for $48K. I had been looking all over WA state and Idaho for the truck I wanted in Barcelona Red for almost a year, so I grabbed the one I bought. If I could have found one in Barcelona Red, I would have had it 2 toned in Tan metallic. By the time I’m finished with my White TRD, it too will be a 1 of a kind like my old Ranger. Thanks for letting this old duffer ramble. I Love your new Ranger. I’m sure that you will enjoy it very much. I hope it doesn’t break down as fast as your Blue 24 Tacoma did. Cheers !

F150 Raptors have better resale values than Tacoma’s so if that continues to play out for the bronco Raptor and this new ranger raptor I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.

From the Brighton Ford website it looks like they are one of those dealerships charging markups over MSRP for Ranger Raptors and Bronco Raptors. Glad you guys got the hookup but it would be worth calling them out on the fact that if you aren’t somehow connected they will stick it to you on the price. The way I look at it, they can make some extra scratch by selling these few vehicles over MSRP to folks with more money then brains but in doing so they are also tarnishing their image and reputation. It’s their shop and their rules, but I hope people will remember how they put extra profit ahead of reputation since that will probably come into play one day when a customer needs service. Are they going to go that extra mile for the customer or will they, as evidenced here, put all their effort into wringing out a few extra bucks?

[@StarGateSG7]

I have some buddies in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada who have modded their Maverick FX4 trucks with a small 2 inch lift and put 33 inch M/T tires (or with a bit of cutting/welding some 35 inch tires!) and better coil-over shocks. They also kitted them out just like what is done to Jeep Rubicons for overlanding and extensive winterization but done to compact trucks and they use them like Raptors but in a smaller easier to maneuver Maverick configuration for the local off-road trails. The Mavericks work GREAT as a compact 4x4 off-road truck. The unibody construction is NOT an issue! You can put fog lights, light bars, winches and heavy duty bumpers and bush bars with some proper welding of structural reinforcing members. Not that expensive to do either! V

TFL Long Term = 2-3 years less than 50k It was the most reliable truck ever!

[@kieransteele7223]

Honestly, if they don’t have a mark up, this is not a bad price at all

[@smithjones1906]

I half-agree, but I wonder if this isn't something like Stockholm Syndrome. We've basically been abused with these prices for long enough now that they finally became the "new normal". Ugh.

@@smithjones1906 Raptors have always been expensive. But yeah, inflation sucks. Think before you vote.

[@cmiles97x38]

@@smithjones1906 how long before they offer 120 month financing on them? Yes unless you are pulling down a big salary this is very high for a midsized truck, even a special edition.

Thank God the interest rates are great now too! 😂

[@lanceripplinger8352]

The Raptor looks so much better on the front end, than the regular Ranger. Sharp looking truck!

[@stevent3450]

does the grill and fender flare light up? and no sun roof?

Lol 100 lbs more payload than my 2022 Sierra AT4. Get it together GMC

[@BillKnight-tj2rs]

Wait so your living room sized truck has the same payload as my 2009 ford ranger? That’s not even enough payload fill the seats and bed for a road trip

[@cstgx]

@BillKnight-tj2rs lol I know. Thats why I sold it and picked up an F350

[@phototac9287]

It will always be just a baby Raptor. Just bought a Chevy Silverado maybe just a little bit jealous😂😂but I had the opportunity to buy one for the same price 57+ and chose the Chevy over the Ranger it is great bang for your buck . My truck cost a good bit more unfortunately.

[@J.W.W.]

No bedliner at that price??

[@jeremycurtis1984]

It is an extra 400 plus dollars option from Ford. Probably extra time to ship if they went with that option.

[@user-zg5ch8nw8j]

Bedliner from the manufacturers are really not great quality. Very thin and scratch up easily. Better off going with deal or aftermarket sprayed liner

[@plmn93]

Did you watch the video?

[@mmodtomic7119]

Good looking truck. Nice specs.

Good looking truck. Hope its a good one for TFL!

I’ve seen surface rust complaints on another Ranger Raptor. The rust started on the differential and driveline after one week.

[@andrewsbbq]

That’s been known on the F150 for years.

[@nm-qt2hb]

​@@andrewsbbq Surface rust on the none painted axle. Never a issue.

[@theeconomist100]

Surface rust has never been an issue

[@andrewsbbq]

@@nm-qt2hb not a corrosion rot issue, but it still is well known. That’s all.

Granger Ford in Iowa offers dealer invoice minus 2% to anyone willing to pick up a phone and drive to Iowa for pickup. I just bought by F350 Tremor there and had the best experience. They are high volume and can get anything you want. Send in your order sheet then pick it up when it arrives. Bypass the high markup dealers and bypass MSRP. Ask for Chip. They also deal in Dodge/jeep/Chrysler with the same deal invoice minus 2 percent. Never a markup, perfect customer service, no upselling no gimmicks

[@AJourneyOfYourSoul]

Thank you for the info.

[@pat9125]

@@AJourneyOfYourSoul Very welcome. I am constantly surprised by the comments about dealer markup when places like Granger exist. They also deal in Dodge/jeep products with the same deal.

[@marklihsu]

They only got 1 raptor though.

[@pat9125]

@@marklihsu You don't buy off the lot, They order whatever you want. Vehicles on the lot are a different story. Ask for Chip and he can walk you through it but basically you go to the Ford site and configure your vehicle. Send it to them and they will tell you exactly what their price is compared to MSRP and if you agree they place an order with Ford for you. I saved 8k off MSRP. Vehicles on the lot are handled separately.

[@Chinaman595]

Just called.... They apparently dont have any allocations for ranger raptors so ordering easnt an option
