Thinking about ordering a Ranger Raptor. Would love some feedback

[raptormax]

Small nuisance type stuff.

I have a my view set up for the gauges. It randomly switches to trip 1.

The ambient lighting would be turned off, not by me, most of the time. Bronco had the same issue. Appears to be fixed by OTA update.

About half the time the first call over bluetooth would have a static type sound.
Appears to be fixed by OTA update.

The screen blanks and resets occasionally.

I heard about the blanks and resets elsewhere. Good to hear the other issues were addressed

4. There are basically no incentives on the raptor at all

Correct, but I'm seeing some remaining 2024 RR's in and around my state with some discounts to the MSRP. Not end of model year discounts, but they are trying to move them.

They are officially a year old

That would make since since they wont get 25s if they cant move the 24s.

Yeah, but if you get a good discount off MSRP for a leftover 24 say $200 below invoice like I did then it's not a huge concern. So you can order a 25 at MSRP with no changes to the model carryover and pay $3000 more?

Dealer discounted mine $2500 - then added $2500 to my trade value.

Would have walked on that one. Been there done that. I was expecting the same on my deal, but in this current climate I think they were pretty desperate to move metal. Vehicles are pilling up on lots.

No - that was $5000 in my pocket . . .

I've got my finger on the trigger to order a 2025 for the flat tow capability. Can't w a 2024 according to this thread, brake incompatibility? (I also posted pics there when I setup my 2019 Chevy Colorado ZR2 for flat towing)

Just checked car gurus like other's mentioned and see a bunch of 2024 below msrp, that I can have right now for a few thousand less
But really want at least the option to flat tow even if I don't do it

I have no issues traveling around country to get car I want or have it shipped.
I bought the 2019 ZR2 new in Minnesota, rented a u-haul car trailer and "imported" it into california. I think I saved about $9k for comparable and put no miles on zr2. Had to fib a bit to get the u-haul rental and say was for a different car as their trailer rental tool wouldn't allow me.
Diesel injector went bad on f550 motorhome during this trip so was in low power mode for many miles towing 7k lb trailer, fun times

I bought a 2017 F-150 Raptor in AZ wound up flying out and driving back to San Francisco after they couldnt get a shipper to fetch it
Had a 2014 Jeep GC SRT shipped to me as well, arrived with dent on hood that driver tried to hide by hosing it down..

I don’t think it’s difficult to order one at sticker in the Bay Area. Are you having issues with that ?
Doubt you’ll save money (in this case ) by flying across states and driving back all in all spending 100s of dollars on gas and flights + countless of useless miles piled on the truck.

Agree , transporting a truck worth it only for heavily discounted 2024s already on lots and trailering it to not accrue miles, not ordering a 2025.
I actually just started the process on ford dot com for a 2025 , requested internet price and chose mossy Ford San Diego as dealer
