Finally got a price for a 2017 Ford Raptor Crew Cab.
$51310 as a Base Price Equipment Group 801A $3158 (This is the mid package) Equipment Group 802A $9345 (This is the luxury package)
This doesn't count other options thrown in. Or the 5G's the dealer wanted to charge over MSRP.
Final price for a Raptor with Luxury, Dealer Extra Add on, Destination Charges etc.
$67,049
That doesn't include ALL of the options. You could easily be at $75-80G's.
Yeah...I don't think that is going to happen for me this year.

Have you considered a Dodge Ram with the Minotaur modifications ? They look pretty good to me. E

My kid has put me in the market for a new truck. A bit of sticker shock, but after contacting Dave Smith motors I found out I can get about $10k knocked off the sticker. Hence I can get a base model 3/4 ton quad cab 4X4 with the cummins 6.7 for a bit over $40k, or one with some niceties such as heated seats, auto start, backup camera for about $50k. Shipping will be about $2k.
Best of all I won't have to deal with the sales morons at the local stealerships.

Dave Smith is the place to go for a good deal and $2000 shipping doesn't seem too bad. I was around $2500 to get my trailer to POW when I decided I could do a road trip/vacation for less so I think that's what I'll do. When I get another truck I'll do as I've always done and buy a 2 or 3 year old lease return and let the original buyer take the $15,000+ depreciation hit. New trucks are ridiculously priced and even if I hit the lottery I doubt I'd buy off the showroom floor.

Good luck getting $15k off on a 2-3 year old lease return. 3/4 or 1 ton diesels have almost zero depreciation when 2-3 years old.
Used trucks have crazy resale. My truck was 10 years old with 150k on it when my son totaled it out, and it was appraised for $14k less than when I bought it new.

Yeah. My last 2 trucks were gas with the 5.3. You're right in that diesels hold their values better. In any case I hope you don't loan your son your new truck. 😅

They did announce the horsepower rating today (finally) 450 hp, 510 ft-lbs of torque - versus the V8 model, which was 410hp, 420 ft-lbs 400+ hp would be cool, but damn that's a lot of money

you can get more horsepower for your buck with a mustang, camaro or challenger. but it ain't a truck obviously. the raptor is nice but not 70k nice. if i was looking for a bad-ass vehicle, it would be the camaro ss.

looked at new trucks again this year. Once more, I decided to keep the 1988 4Runner.

I bought my Raptor when I was deployed through overseas military car sales. This was back in 2009. The 5.4 engine was all that was available when I ordered, one of the first off the production line. I got the sun roof, nav radio, backup cam, leather seat inserts, bed extender, all for under $40k. In the last few years I've got several letters from dealers trying to buy it from me for more than I paid for it. It's a good truck, I'll hold on to it for the foreseeable future...

What are your truck needs? Something that is safe for hauling around two kids. Able to get in and out of nasty boat ramps so I can launch my raft or drift boat. Take Elk and Deer hunting down two tracks and in random places. My issue is lots of so called "trucks" have turned into urban city vehicles. I would gladly bring a Toyota Hilux from here in Norway. Manual, Diesel, built very well, great off road etc. But you can't get them in the US. I have looked at the Z71 and the Dodges. But when you compare prices...I would rather pay a little more and have all the benefits of a Raptor with heavy duty suspension etc. I am moving from Norway to the US next year. I have some cash put away for a truck. So I am looking at my options. That truck seemed to fit the bill pretty well. What is killing me right now is not the truck price (for once in my life, as I am used to expensive stuff over here and vehicle prices.) A comparable Ford Ranger here would be 100,000USD Its the exchange rate. When we started working over here, it was 1USD to 5.7 Kroner. Now its 1USD to 8 Kroner. Kills transfers of money back to the US.

I have the same problem with SUV. Nothing "utility " about them anymore. glorified soccer mom wagons for 50-60k. Painted bumpers and no ground clearance but your hunting dog can watch a dvd on the rear entertainment center. Looks like a crew cab pickup will be my next vehicle,

I see a lot of Raptors around the Austin area. Nice looking trucks. Have you ever considered the Titan , great trucks and overlooked.

All the more reason I'll never own a brandy-new truck. I just can't swing that kind of money. Jeez, we only paid 87,500 for our house. Good luck to those pricing new vehicles right now.

Check out Covert Ford in Austin. I went there from the east coast earlier this year to purchase a new truck. Flew in and drove back 17 hours. They were about 8k cheaper than the local Ford dealership. My brother and another friend did the same thing a few months ago and saved anywhere from 10-12k on new diesels. They don't play games like other places. I have no affiliation with the dealership.
