#ford #fordrangerraptor #fordtrucks When I ordered the Ranger Raptor life was on a different path, since then we have had a wake up call. Life lessons can be rough.
Me personally, If I was going to buy it, it would be because I really like it, and it fits my needs. I don't buy vehicles to get attention going down the road.
In WA my local dealer has a $25K markup on the RR. That’s a hard pass for me, it’s not that damn serious. My ZR2 (non Bison) suits my camping & hiking needs just fine.
@@DrivenWildOutdoors & the Sales Manager said it with a straight face! Said he had 100 people willing to pay the mark up. I told him he should call them because I’m not taking that L 🤣
The ranger raptor is the most attractive, exciting, performing mid size truck, but not a sensible purchase, at least here in the caribbean where its price is much higher, and almost double the price of japanese trucks, 4 times the price of chinese trucks. The ranger raptor is a sports, play vehicle that can do “some” light work.
If you take the stickers off no one but ford enthusiasts would know it was a raptor. Just not much of a eye appeal difference. Sorry about your mom. I bought mine only because my AT4X was nothing but issues. Plus I like the passing power
@davidwethington9320 blind spot ghosting, display switching to kilometers on it's own, adaptive cruise braking for no reason, battery drain (not from updates), squealing windshield, thumping from sunroof ever time it rains, if I went over a line without a blinker on the truck would slam on the brakes, rear window leak. Just seemed like something every time I got in the vehicle. Sometimes the screen would go out and the same with the cameras
@@Tony-hf9mv damn. Sorry to hear all that. I turned all my nannies off so I don't know if they would cause issues or not. I know I had to wait an extra month while they worked on those software issues. I really like the truck so I hope my luck holds out. Hope you enjoy yours as well.
Really won't know that for a few years. Many people trust a turbo 6 over a turbo 4. Then throw a battery in the mix, I don't think it will have the same appeal as the last generation. Atleast that is what we are seeing from the tundra. Specialty vehicles like a raptor anything has held their value

Great advice. I’m over the look at me world for sure.
The back is a little higher, but that's most likely too offset the payload in the bed. Put a few bags of sand and itll level out..
Hot pepper Red Ranger with the 1000k sticker option sticks out
Thank you, good to know

25 k is insane

I live in Louisiana. I bought one last Saturday for MSRP.
@@tomcaldwell5914 congratulations 🎉, how do you like it?
20k over msrp here in Calif. Naww. Can choke on it
20k? Good grief. That is a big no for me, even a 1.00 mark up is too much.
That’s nothing. You should see the mark-up on the Raptor R at this same dealer. You wouldn’t believe it if I told you

Good points, thanks for the comment

What issues did you have? Mine has been perfect.
My wife has had hers for about 3 weeks (shelter green) without stickers and no one even knows what it is . Very low profile, very happy with it.

Hips.

For $5k more id go for a TRD PRO. Better reliability and better resale value as a Toyota.

@@Tony-hf9mv especially since the 3.0L been around a little longer than the new turbo engines in the Toyotas.
The new Toyota trucks are having all kinds of issues
