Any GT350 owners contemplating the '17 Raptor?

I bought on that another customer had ordered and bailed on...but, it is 'lightly optioned' for a raptor and much like bossing's. it's just got 802a and tech package...windowed around $64k. After a very long trip to see the eclipse, I'm very glad I have the tech package and a lot of the 802a goodies...but they're not essential in any way. I would not have felt good about paying for any of the exterior graphics which I see a lot stock units with...there a number of ways to let this price of the truck get pretty out of hand.

I would have ordered bead-locks but the truck I bought didn't have them. Picked up some nice method wheels for $800 and will sell the stockers for $400-$500 ish...so the wheel upgrade was cheap....nowI'm in it about $65k and feel like I won't take a bit hit on it given where prices are trending (pretty strong used market and lots of trucks with inflated msrp's due to the option ordering).

After my last post I thought long and hard about a raptor or a king ranch and last Saturday I was at the dealer picking up my fiesta ST from service and they had several raptors in stock including a used 17 raptor so we took it out and I was very impressed by how quick the trans bangs the gears. this is what the dealer said any Raptor on the lot 10k ADM and if I order one 3k ADM and I will be the first one getting a 2019 in my town. Is ADM still a thing or should I play hard ball and insist on no ADM.



P.S the Fiesta is a blast to drive it gets 30mpg

I don't think Ford is limiting the quantities on the Raptor, so IMO you should be able to get one with no ADM. I'm not in the market for one, though - so take my thoughts with a grain of salt.

What Hack said.

Ford is not limiting quantities on the Raptor. 0 reason to pay an ADM. I'll see if I can find to document, be Ford themselves posted a Q&A regarding the Gen2 Raptor stating this.

in my neck of the woods prices are msrp, or a grand under typically.

^This, same here. They are in stock pretty much everywhere, no reason to pay any ADM.

Paid MSRP 14 months ago. Please don't pay ADM. Truck is awesome. Get one and don't look back.

Here is my local dealers inventory. They are advertising upwards of $2600, which tells me they would probably deal even more on them.

There is no reason to pay ADM. They are everywheee. Be patient and you should be able to find a deal.

Raptors are everywhere now and I could easily pick up an '18 for MSRP or below (perhaps below with the MY19 upgrades).

But I'm very happy with my Supercharged '14.

Got mine at MSRP. Dont pay over.

thanks for the feedback and ammo. I will see what happens today:ford:
