Yesterday, I was driving through my local dealers lot. They had two Raptors. Of course I went in to ask about them because the worse that can happen is the Raptors aren’t available. Of course they were already sold.

However, the dealer has one coming in at $82k. This dealer does not charge ADM. I was practically drooling until I saw the build sheet. It was Rapid Red. The only color I absolutely loath.

But I am in the waiting list to order when they get allocation.

Lol. I get it. That's the one color I couldn't settle for.

Just get the rapid red that's available and wrap it imo.
Might as well find one with $5k ADM then. I’d never wrap my vehicle. Razorblades around a brand new car are never good. Also depending on your location you could have damage once it’s removed. Hard pass.

Nah, you're looking at, at least, $4k for a wrap. That on top of the $82K MSRP, sales taxes, registration, etc.

My favorite colors are between Code Red and Atlas Blue. However I could live with AntiMatter Blue, Black, White, and Silver. Maybe I'd consider a wrap after a couple years but each of those colors has their good points. To me, however, rapid red just looks terrible. It makes me think of Aggie fans. No shade thrown on those that like it. It's a subjective thing that I'm kinda repulsed by.

Anyways, props to Interstate Ford in Dacono, CO for not charging ADM on customer ordered vehicles. I'm not sure I've seen any ADMs on vehicles on the lot either. They'll overcharge for add ons and mods, but they don't do that to all their vehicles. I can respect that a bit more than the outright theft of ADMs.

On behalf of all Aggies, we’re grateful that maroon repulses you. That’s more available inventory for us to buy.

Hey, you do you man. I'm not gonna make fun of anyone. I used to have a burnt orange Explorer Sport and I'm not even a fan of the Horns.
