    Red Lines on Window Sticker

    Thanks! I had thought it would be a weird thing to omit, but then again, I have seen some dealers that have a pile of trucks sitting on their lots with some builds that seem to have the least popular combinations of options possible.

    Does Anyone actually buy a Raptor at MSRP?

    Looking at the blue one's window sticker, it has SYNC Connect listed in red, while all the others have it listed in black. What does this mean? Is that option deleted or something?

    Red Lines on Window Sticker

    I am looking at window stickers for in stock trucks and have seen several where included equipment is in red instead of black. I have specifically seen this several times with SYNC Connect, while everything else was in black. Anyone know what the red means?

    Ordering a new Raptor

    When do you expect the '19 orders to start arriving? When will the final color and option list be available?

    Mid June Order banks open ?

    Raptor4you said mid-month in another thread, so I am assuming it is accurate.

    Mid June Order banks open ?

    With order banks opening mid-month when will they start building and delivering the '19s? Edit: I see that the OP says Sep or early Oct, and he was right about the order banks, so likely correct here too. Any dealers that can confirm?

    2019 Raptor Intel

    It is avoidable. I would tell that dealer you are taking your business elsewhere for anything over MSRP. There are a ton of dealers that will do it and if you have to travel a bit or have it shipped you would still save thousands (more when you factor in interest and resale cost that won't...

    New info on 2019 raptor

    The seats in the Raptor are different than the standard F150. I have no idea if the Recaro seats and carbon fiber will be linked, but it doesn't seem to be in most vehicles. The Recaros are built for racing, to keep you firmly planted in one place through turns, bumps, jumps, etc... I don't...

    Price Increse on 2018's??

    I wonder if it is already reflecting the increase for 2019. If so, it could be worse. I have been wondering how much that may go up for the new year, plus new shocks etc... It also could be because of the steel and aluminum tariffs. Prices for steel and aluminum for the auto and other...

    Thinking about purchase

    The offer to drop ship with the warranty may seal the deal for me, but it may be on to the '19s before I am ready to order. I wonder what the price difference will be '18 to '19 for a truck with the same options.

    2019 Info

    Now, what will be options and what will be standard? Will the trail control be part of the tech package? What will the increase be in MSRP? Expect a return of more/higher ADM's.

    7.0 V8... Yes... Again

    That may be the case, but people are also talking about a 7.3 or a V10 or 7.0 all going to Ford Performance indicating they are all for Raptors. A 7.0 made for a heavy duty truck built for hauling extreme weight may not be well suited for the Raptor without substantial, expensive changes. It...

    7.0 V8... Yes... Again

    Ford's strategy is to decrease the different production lines of vehicles and components, from engines to interior parts. This is boosting profits and cutting costs. Coming up with an engine just for the Raptor doesn't fit at all with their strategy. If they are ever going to put a bigger...

    New Black Raptor that’s been sitting for a while.

    I think they are alike a lot of places that seem to have an "internet" price listed, but they will actually go quite a bit lower. I saw a '17 with 1600 miles get dropped to $5000 under in about 2 minutes at a place about 2 miles from this dealership.

    New Black Raptor that’s been sitting for a while.

    Not sure if you would be at all interested in a used '17 SCAB with about 8,000 miles, but one popped up on the website for Friendly Ford in Las Vegas. I hear they do MSRP on new, so you may be able to get a deal on the used one. Just thought I would throw that out there for you.

    Thinking about purchase

    Yeah, it is common not to allow test drives, but maybe you will have better luck if you find a used Gen 2. I test drove one at a Lexus dealer and they didn't think anything of it. Markups are also common, but you can definitely get one at MSRP (you may have to travel depending on what market...

    Carbon fiber or not?

    I like the look of the CF, but..... If you weighed the whole kit, I am betting that the cost per gram is higher than that of gold.

    Collision alert activation

    A system that is augmented by a camera could be tripped by any of the above mentioned things because it uses visible light. I know systems like that have been developed, but don't know if Ford uses them or straight radar.

    Collision alert activation

    Radar, basically sends out electromagnetic energy in the form of radio waves. These waves travel outward until they strike a surface that reflects or deflects them. The radar antenna then receives any returned energy. The design of the radar and the computer systems in it determine what can...

    New guy

    Well, my wife an I left the house only intending to get lunch. Right next to the restaurant was a dealer with a used '17 with just over 1600 miles so we went over there after lunch. Someone else had apparently just gotten back from a test drive and was deciding what he wanted to do. Another...

    New guy

    Hello everyone. I am new to the forum, although I have been looking at it for a while for info. If all goes well I will be placing an order this summer or fall. I almost accidentally bought a used '17 last weekend, but someone got to it first.
