I heard (from my local dealer) that Ford is going to keep building 2023 models through year end and won't start building 2024s until January. Can anyone else confirm ? Edit: Just spoke to another dealer. They told me 2024 model year will be produced from January 2024 - November 2024

No worries amigo. Taxes too high in Idaho for my tastes. I would rather be in Florida or Texas. No need to give 7% to the state...

About 30 years ago when I wanted to splurge. There is only so much Natty Ice I could drink, but was tough to beat a 30 pack for $10. Now I prefer a nice red wine or scotch. Will leave the bud light to the trannys or for Kid Rock to use as target practice.

Hahahaha, you guys are brutal. I didn't realize I would stike a nerve. I love my 2018 Raptor. But I am also intrigued by new tech. I actually have orders for the following vehicles: 2023 Bronco Raptor with build date of 4/19/23 2023 F150 Lightning Lariat ER with an estimated delivery date...

My reservation just got called for an EV Lightning and I am inclined to trade my 2018 Raptor for it. Worst case I hate it and trade it back for a 2024 Raptor if I hate it. So wondering if anyone else has gone through the change? Thoughts? Regrets?

Nice !!! What did you end up getting? 35 or 37? Color?

My original post is nearly 4 months old and since then I have scored a Bronco Raptor build spot for late February, I have gone to the sidelines. Economy is weakening so I am gonna sit back a wait for 2023 37 at MSRP. I am not in any rush. I missed the Section 179 anyway once the calendar rolled.

Yes, but to me honest, with less effort now. I have a 2018 Raptor with only 37k miles and about a month ago I scored a Bronco Raptor build slot for late February. So I am probably just gonna keep my F150 Raptor and buy the Bronco Raptor in early March whenever it arrives. If I can find a 2023...

Wow, a day late on this. I just tried calling and its already gone

Bumping as I am coming up on 8 weeks searching. What a saga. I have a couple dealers take my order at MSRP with no allocations (worthless). I had a dealer promise me a 2023 37 package at MSRP + $5k but its stuck in some of chip hold. So still looking. I will consider almost anything at this...

As others have pointed out, these are fictional numbers. Trust me when I say that I probably spent 20 hours of my own before posting this thread. If you want to buy a Ford Explorer, then car buying in cyberspace is easy... not with F150 Raptor or Bronco Raptor. If you think its easy, I am...

I just called this dealer. Both Raptors are already sold and it looks like they were sold for MSRP +5k

Bumping this thread. I am on the wait lists at MSRP at 2 different dealers but neither has an allocation. So still looking...

I have done about 10 hours of legwork already. Nearly every conversation is the same - its either: 1) We have nothing in stock, the one on our website is sold, and we don't have any orderable allocations or 2) Our Raptor is available at $20-30k over MSRP So, I am happy to pay for other...

I will double my finders fee if recipient is willing to take payment in Bitcoin.
