Honestly the 911 definitely speaks to my heart and a manual transmission is a MAJOR + for me. I certainly agree that this scenario requires keeping the truck, the Avant gives me more of an argument to replace the truck, but agree that the first messy beach trip / home depot trip would kill me...

I grew up with a Buick Road Master sation wagon and we drove from the FL Keys to New York every year in it and once to Washington (the state). This is a lot of the reason I want a station wagon! They are incredibly pratical for the fam. I have nicknamed the RS6 the 'Dad Wagon' in my household.

I want fast / silly / practical-ish / smiles per mile. Raptor 37 PP has checked a lot of boxes, but the R is going to check the fast box more confidently.

Aren't these like 200k+? Though I guess Ive seen a few Rs listed for over 189 so not that far out of that particular scope...

I agree whole heartedly- side by side comparisons would be really interesting. There are a few vids of people going banannas in the snow in the avant!

I have a 37 PP that I love, but you're right in that I don't NEED an off road vehicle... but have really enjoyed the capabilities of my truck and especially during snow season in the mountains. My understanding is that an RS6 with snow tires will be pretty lethal in the snow, but of course not...

I don't have my gen 2 anymore, but have and love my '21 gen 3 PP. I haven't driven an RS6, but I'm pretty infatuated with the power/wide-body/practicality of it. The R upgrade was predicted on me selling the gen 3, but maybe keeping my 37 and jumping for the RS6 would be the ultimate outcome but...

GTR is my personal Fav, green interior in the new ones is an incredible + for me. My wife shot this down :*(

I placed a 7.18.22 R order and was 3rd on my dealer's list, with 2 delivered to-date (they only rec'd 2 allocations for '23). As I've waited for the last year, I've thought a lot about trying to pick the car I would actually buy at a reasonable R ADM price. Not knocking people who jumped for...

Contributing these images - more of the same truck, but parked. Personally, I like the updates, but understand from every Gen change / refresh there are many for & against (i.e recall a lot of negative reactions when the gen 3 was scoped out from the 'legacy gen 2s' group).

Bumping this thread - anyone hear anything about the '24 orderbank opening up?

I'm priority 10 finally on my 10k ADM R order that I placed in July, hopefully it hits this year. It looks like I may have an MSRP R lined up in the next month or so - between these two Ive hopefully avoided the crazy markups, but it took a lot of time and patience.

So, I had two developments come out of all of this. A dealer I made a relationship with has slotted me in for an MSRP Raptor R that they expect to receive an allocation for (they have 0 customer builds). This was a guy who reached out to me who helped me with my original Raptor purchase in '18...

Based on your track record and the truck you sold, I literally believe 100% of this. If you decide to act on it, I'll fly out for a week and subsidize your bourbon/beer bill

Call your dealer

Church, he was right and you seem childish for putting him down and calling him out. Refer to 1966's post, he was there and obviously has a vested interest in the Raptor R. Just be nice instead of taking things so personally.

Love this! Nicely done! Appreciate you bringing some light to the black raptor that sold too!

you're literally just next in line for your dealership to be pulled - just be happy you're not 19 like me :)

I wouldn't be surprised if your top bidder comes from this forum! Beautiful truck.

That's great man. I ordered mine July 18th as well and have been waiting on pins & needles since. I'm 19 priority code, hoping I will get bumped up in the next month or so. I have another dealer who knows my situation and has offered me their 1 remaining allocation (they got 2) for $25k over to...

I've been speaking with Hamza at Koons Sterling Ford in VA, He was great to work with - a reasonable guy and good salesman/personality. I think if you're serious and willing to pay $35k over for an Antimatter Blue Metallic that is in transit, you will secure it. Current price they will...

Congrats man! I'm still waiting for scheduling - the wait is killing me...!

This is probably the best advice I've received in the last 2 months. I know Im beating this very, very, dead horse!

I've spoken to a few more dealers and I heard a couple more stories about these "allocation brokers". No one is supposed to know outside of the specific dealer & very few people at FORD how many allocations all of the dealer have received, yet somehow these allocation brokers know EXACTLY who...

I went from Gen 2 to Gen 3 as well. The interior & tech upgrades make it well worth it imho. I also enjoyed the quality of life adjustments made to the suspension/transmission of the truck. I have a 37 pack and have really enjoyed it as a daily driver, a noticeable improvement overall.
