Just looked up some Raptor quotes recently… prices 150k? Garbage. I did stop looking at first location… maybe better prices out there?

Yeah my co-worker just picked up his 2023 fully loaded (no other options) Raptor R; MSRP plus $60k market adjustments! That is why they call them stealerships, Ha 😝

I guess one would have to buy ICE,

Ford is cutting Lightning production/losing Billions.. They are using 'review or whatever as an excuse.
Soon we will see Legacy at least freeze most EV production. They would be under tremendous pressure to cut all losses.

BTW, imagine the explosion in CT demand if this continues long term.

Why raptor? TRX is my backup plan
My dream truck that’s tied with the Cybertruck. I like the current 3rd generation V6 Raptor even better since Ford ditched the rear leaf springs.

I have no desire for the 11 mpg R version or the $140k price tag. A found a Ford dealer to accept my V6 Raptor order at MSRP with zero added fees. V6 Raptors sell for $10-15k over MSRP in my area. Ford won’t start production until early 2024.

It’s official. 2024 will be the last year of the TRX.

1. Keep my Dodge Dually for towing and get a 3 or y for running around.
2. Deposit on Silverado EV. Are they going to make any?
3. Deposit on Lightning. Would use standard range for running around and Dodge Dually for towing. Standard range gets a Fed and Prov rebate in Canada.

At this stage not sure which is Plan B. Will depend on discussion with my wife once prices and specs are out for CT. She is planning on buying an EV too.
