Build one on the SVT site and you'll see the price is correct. The jacking up of the price because they can wouldn't fly with me. I remember back when the new Thunderbirds were first released several years ago most dealers jacked the price up $10k over sticker. Of course that thunderbird was a huge flop.

I personally like the Blue Raptor with no graphics.

 

oooh. That one is just up the road from me.

 

I'll go against the grain and say Ford can keep the Raptor. If Ford needs an idea of where to put it, I can help them with that too. Right up their over priced.. (_|_)

*Flame Suit on!*

 

shot the rapto is at a great price in my eye...my cc fx4 was 41 and change

but all new cars are way over priced and lose value to fast

 

Does the raptor have coils or leafs in the rear?

 

Coil-over up front, leafs out back


exact same basic truck as the normal F-150...just SVT & Fox Shocks have added their own twist.

 

these 5.4 raptors will be obsolete when the boss 6.2 becomes available, why would you buy this truck without the motor

 

Is the 5.5' bed the only one to be offered on the Raptor? Would be nice with a 6.5' option.

 

it is built to run in the baja 1000 the short bed is there for a reason

 

How is it overpriced.....you couldn't buy a stocker and make that with aftermarket parts for that price......I think the raptor is priced amazing

 

yep. That truck MSRP is only $2k more than a similar equipped FX4

so you get lockers, 6" lift, 35" tires, tow hooks...tuned offroad suspension. and more goodies that escape me right now


all for only $2k more.


That is one hell of a deal. You couldn't even do the 6" lift and tires for that price. Ford hit a homerun IMO. Just wish I had the money to buy 1.

 

A stocker is over priced too.

All new trucks are over priced. They aren't nearly worth what you pay for them.

I guess for the middle class working man like me, they're over priced. =)

 

I'm sure the intended market isn't just for Baja, otherwise wouldn't have all the "goodies" on it.

 

I'm sure Baja isn't the only intended market, otherwise wouldn't have all those "goodies"

 

I searched the internet for dealer inventory within 75 miles of where I live, I only found one Raptor and that was almost 65 miles away.
