Ford Allocation Process
In 2013 I purchased an FX4 simply because, to me, the ecoboost made a lot more sense for off road performance than the V8. I figured I would trade it once the ecoboost was available. Now finally it is available. Dealers used their allocation to stock fully loaded Raptors. Now a Raptor is an off-road beast, I cannot picture driving off-road, in an off-road beast with leather seats, dual moonroofs, with 5 large passengers who need heated seats front and rear. The 2017 base model with supercab has everything you need. Having owned an F150 and having paid for Navigation updates, it is not worth it. I have never successfully used the Ford Navigation system to get through Manhattan, my backup google maps, or Garmin device always saves me. There is simply no Raptor sitting on a lot within a 1000 miles of me that I would purchase, they are all fully loaded and start at $70000. Ford is now going to idle production because lot inventory is too high. Being the average redneck Raptor ******* person, I again am not buying the Raptor because the dealer stock is not what I want. Maybe I am the only person on the planet who feels this way, but I doubt it. I would buy a $51,000 Base model Raptor at MSRP in a heartbeat. I however don't see this happening, and the irony is Ford plants are idled people laid off and buyers left hungry for a truck that makes sense.
