I would like to get one but like the GT350, dealers in my area are playing the ADM game so I'll wait it out.

So rumor has it there is no allocation, it's basically if you want one you can get one. So why would any dealer choose to have an ADM if there is no "limited supply"

I've heard rumors both ways. We won't know for sure until the order banks open on the 18th.

The 350 is built on the mustang line too, so I don't understand the need for allocations with it.

I'm in.

There are allocations here, my local dealer is getting 18 of them, for the 350 they got 15

I want one! To bad I can't afford it, it would make work better if I had a truck. Ill wait and not deal with ADM and new Car prices. I will wait for a used one to save money if I change my mind.

Waiting for all the specs and pricing. Will replace my fully built mid-travel 4Runner at some point. Ideally it'll be able to tow an aluminum enclosed trailer for the GT350 track days.

That's a solid setup - would you mind sharing more details on it? Is that a 24' trailer? How much does the trailer weigh? Are you using a WDH? How does it do in the hills and passing semis?

Sorry for all the questions - I haven't seen many reviews of folks using Raptors to pull enclosed car haulers.

Cool truck, but no, I don't see the need for it. I have the GT350 for my speed/fun fix.

I have a super crew ecoboost F150 for family duty, winter driving and hauling etc.

For me, each are a tool that do what they are designed to do.

The trailer weighs approx 3200 #. It's a 20' model with an extra 4' V. It's also 12" higher than standard. 5000 # axles, carrying capacity close to 7000 #. I have not had any issues passing semis or on hills, but i have not driven really long drives with the Raptor towing it. If i were going more than 150 or so miles away i'd get a WDH for it. My daughter moved out to Calgary (approx 2000 miles away) last year and towed the trailer fully loaded with a Ecoboost F150 and didn't have any problems at all.

It's a raptor, yeah they are awesome, but there should not be adm on a raptor, I mean since it's an f150 I bet any 2017's left by the time the 2018's come out they will have some incentives. Ford's bread and butter is the F150, no way the raptor will be limited, if you want one you get one. I see so many in phoenix, they are about as common as corvettes here. Yes they are common here too (not sure if they are common in colder climates)
