When is a good time to get a raptor?

2 years ago was a great time. Live your life. Buy what you want when you can afford it.

Better get one right now before they are all gone. Who knows when Ford will introduce the new one and you may not even want it. Not to mention the price will be much higher with a new version for at least 2 years or so with dealer markups. You may need to travel out of state to get what you are looking for especially if you want it at or below MSRP. California prices are the WORST! Even here in Utah they are bad. The Midwest region prices are pretty good if you can find what you are looking for. Don't pay any dealer markup prices, snake oil treatment to the finish or undercarriage or BS add on crap like $500 tint jobs etc..

I'm going to say, "Pass".

The used 2019 I'm looking at right now has me thinking about getting a 2020 instead. Do some looking around and find a deal that works for you.

I bought my 2020 Raptor last week, after searching within about 500 miles of my area I found one about 30 min away for the best deal around. It was $7k off window sticker - Gilland Ford in Ozark AL.

Bought my 2020 Raptor a little over a month ago, and I love it. Even if the next gen comes with a V8 I dont mind. I will eventually trade up if that truck checks all my boxes. A V8 alone wont do it...

Depends on whether you want new or used. If new, considering that production has stopped and we don't know when the Gen 3s will be released, now could be a great time to get a Gen 2. Of course, if Ford announces Gen 3 coming out soon, with big improvements and similar price to Gen 2, Gen 2 prices should go down.

If you want a used Gen 2. I would wait a bit. There will be some that want to trade in their Raptor for a TRX. There will be many that want to go with the latest gen F150. If you can wait longer, there will be even more that trade in for the Gen 3 Raptor.

But as other stated, you may save some money but you won't be driving a Raptor while you wait.

You're in Pa.
I drove 100 miles each way to Pa. to get 2K off sticker. Around here everything is way above sticker.
Some good prices in Pa.

I think there are plenty of Raptors out there. If you're not in a rush, I'd say it would be worthwhile to try and wait it out as long as you can. Maybe if you are looking for a very particularly optioned truck, then you might have to jump on the first one you find.
