Hi Guys, first post. Considering a Ford Raptor for my next truck. Coming from 20 years (!) of GM ownership since my last Ford which was a 94 Reg Cab long bed stick lol so if I proeceed, my new Ford will be a little different from the last one haha.
So shock no.1 for the newbie is that the '18s are still pricey and hard to find. (the non Raptor savvy person would assume that after being out for a full year they'd be readily available). Not so! So I see the raptorfinder website (fantastic) . That does show some similar to what I would build. So if I proceed, I'd buy credits in that site for sure. My questions are;
If I don't find one at or below msrp that is close enough, and I decided to order instead, how long will it take to get a truck built? Do dealers even have '18 build allocations left? And would I be more or less likely to get msrp ordering a build than buying off a lot? I don't need the BL at this time which seems to hold builds up a bit?
I'm leaning towards 802a SCREW Oxford white WITHOUT the orange accent. Does it still come with the grey accent on the seats? I don't mind/like that accent. The grey one. Need to see it in person.
And finally, but a long shot. If anyone is in Plano Texas willing to give me a ride (not asking to drive) your 17/18 Raptor I'm buying lunch or gas money. You can pick me up at my house so you know I'm not some random dude. I've not ridden in one and the local dealer only has one new one for 10k over msrp I'm not sure he's willing to take me out in it.
