Canceled my order, I refuse to wait over a year for a Ranger.

[LoneStarCaviar]

I had a Ranger Raptor ordered in Azure Gray, and it was scheduled for 4/19 and had a latest ETA of 5/16. That came and went and no updates as of today. In two days it will have been a year since the order was placed, and my deposit was made 5/12/24. I refused to wait any longer, and bought a 2024 F150 Raptor at Msrp instead. Shelter green with moonroof for $82k. A good deal IMO because a regular lariat was $76k, and a tremor was $81k. Who would pay raptor money for a basic truck?

Kinda sad about the Ranger after waiting so long, but waiting that much longer just allowed me to save more and buy the better truck for only $20k more. I also feel better about the F150 because they aren’t brand new to the market for QC issues, and have more support in the aftermarket. There will probably be a Ranger Raptor at my dealer between a week and a year from now, but they already have it on their website for $20k over lol.

Good luck to all of you that are still waiting, and thanks for taking so long Ford, in the end yall made more money off of me, if only yall didn’t make the best trucks lol.

My dealer sells non R raptors below invoice. Msrp is too high! They've lost their luster. People want a R or the smaller Ranger raptor.

When I was wtg for mine, he said if I didn't want to wait he'd sell me a regular raptor at 3% below invoice. He had 6 coming and no one wtg. He has a list of 20 who wanted my Ranger raptor.

I’m confused. You’re mad a Ford, so you gave them an extra $20K and bough a truck for MSRP that they are struggling to sell? Sounds like they won by stalling.

The dealer I got my Ranger Raptor from sells all Raptors for MSRP. The other 2 stealerships in the area sell them for $5K over MSRP.

Nice, but I live in Oil Country Texas, and my dealer never sells raptors for Msrp. Totally worth it to not waste an entire day for me and my brother to drive somewhere else like Dallas to buy one a tiny bit cheaper. We might buy a Raptor R as well, but it will be like our GT350R Heritage and another maybe 6 cars that we have less than 300 miles on them for collectibility, all while driving the crap out of the basic Raptor. I also got a steal on my Bronco Raptor at the same dealer, so it’s all about the local demand, and oil money wants Raptors around here. I can’t wait to take it to my own ranch to do some Baja runs.

Read the last of the comment, if anyone else made as good of a truck I may have gone elsewhere, but no one does for the price, and the refresh looks legit in person. I’m only disappointed they took so long on the Ranger, crappy union workers and useless bureaucracy taking forever. Also most of our collection is Fords anyways, we have at least 20 Mustangs now, and just as many trucks and old broncos, so this wasn’t going to keep me from buying another Ford lol. Ford for life, just wait till we’re done building our 69 Mach 1 with the Roadstershop spec chassis. You don’t even want to know how much the frame alone costs($37k).

Either seems to be pretty good value. Nice truck. RR works for me, plus, in my case, it fits in my garage stalls.
I wonder if anyone with a RR applied for the chance of ordering a Mustang GTD? Limited to 7,500 applicants for '25-'26 pre-orders.

Wow.. they're ripping you all off

 

[Deleted member 6903]

Like you I abandoned my order and went with a F-150 instead. They've been trying to build my Ranger for 133 days now. That in combination with the discounts on the 2023 F-150's caused me to throw in the towel. Like you I still like the Ford vehicles. I was just tired of waiting. Honestly now that I have the F-150 I'm glad it worked out the way it did.

 

[Critical Habitat]

Well, the trend is going lower for prices on both the Raptor and Bronco Raptor - seeing quite a few BRaptors below MSRP now, and some 2023's still haven't sold are well below MSRP.

I am thinking the Ranger Raptor may see a price increase, mostly because of what Toyota is charging for their trucks. As always, results may vary.

To each their own my buddy.

No need to dump on union workers

No need to dump on union workers

The fact that union workers predominately bitch about wages and vote for the left, hypocritically are responsible for the open boarders which lowers the wages is comical and sad. So yeah, he can.
