Anybody else over the new Raptor R already?

Nothing against the vehicle itself, just the rollout of it. Outrageously priced, dealership games, unobtainable...just a lot of hard feelings. And did I mention outrageously priced? LOL. Just a damn ford truck, but folks acting like they'd sacrifice their firstborn to get their hands on one.

Christmas cabbage patch dolls and playstations, but for adults. Makes sense.

If by the time I’m serious about buying this is still a thing, I’ll get the TRX.

Ya pretty much I couldn’t care either way if I get one or not. I’ll take it if the order gets allocated. If it doesn’t I’ll do more mods to my existing truck.

September is right around the corner and that’s when scheduling is supposed to start. So we will find out soon enough.

I’ll be honest I think they could have did a bit more to the styling inside and out for what seems like is going to be a pretty rare bird.

I expected the roll out to be this way, so my bar was set pretty low to begin with.

At my age and zip code insurance on my 2010 is like $25 a month and I figure in a few years when the 6.2 goes I can swap in a supercharged 7.3 Godzilla and buy a used lightning for a DD.

Nothing wrong with that plan. I like my TRX.

Exactly. I love the Rap, it’s a great truck, but these 1-2 year wait stories are just kooky and on top of that you have the stealership insanity to deal with.

Great news for me is they just put a dodge/ram stealership a mile from my local Ford stealership.

Dang it! I missed the low hanging fruit!

Easy for me to watch the show. I love my gen 2 and have zero interest in an R. Gen 3? Yeah, I'm planning to upgrade after the feeding frenzy is over.
