Raptor-R Spotted in the wild....

If those are the new wheels, I am not a big fan.

Anyone want to take a guess on the MSRP of the R? Im guessing 83K

I am surprised that Ford is going through the trouble of doing some minor cosmetic changes for the R. That adds cost and doesn't seem like it would add to the marketing. Unique badging and decals, sure, but hard to imagine that a slightly different grille and wheels are going to make the truck easily recognizable to the average truck guy out there. That said, I guess grillses and wheels are pretty easy to produce.

the people who buy the R dont primarily care about cost and want it to be clearly different from the standard raptor.

and if ford makes these a limited run, expect msrp to be higher than the trx.

By 'cost', I was referring to cost of producing the vehicle, not the sale price. And I don't really see wheels and grille doing much to differentiate between R and standard Raptors...not as much as badging and decals would.

I'd guess you are estimating way low. Easy 100k+ truck

I don't see anything that makes this look like some R model Raptor, I have bad eyes I guess.

It could get to over 100k with ADM. I've heard of ADM's going anywhere from 10 to 20k which should be outlawed IMO..

huh? How are you able to tell this R raptor from this base Gen 3 from the camo pictures shown? The wheels are different yes, but I hardly think that gives it that much of a unique look, from the standard Gen 3.

The wheels look like the 37" beadlocks to me on the "base" raptor

I think it is the gloss black wheels. It is mentioned here too. The base I think are matte.

Right, my statement wasn't based on what I saw in the pic, but what the article stated.

I was just confused because it said they were unique new wheels when they look the same as what is going to be offered with the 37s. Maybe it is the finish although I don't know that anyone would even realize the difference enough to be unique. Does anyone else mention this besides fordauthority? Just seems like another clickbait article to me
