I test drove a Ranger Raptor yesterday....

[Jackpot Tremor]

Dang fat fingered the post reply before I could write ?…
But yeah right now the RR current price is at the level of people who will make the purchase to make the purchase to brag about it… like how you hear about people who buy expensive gold or platinum chains with all sorts of diamonds (personally I don’t wear jewelry other than my wedding band so that’s why I think jewelry is kinda pointless.) but we need those types to buy the vehicle go through the dealer service and warranty hoops, so the manufacturer can release the 2.0 versions (along the lines of don’t buy the first year ideology.) which is why the Mrs and I made the plan to wait another 16-18 months before getting one they released in October 23 or so in the us i believe (I could be wrong about that but ya.) so we figured by October 2025 that gave them plenty of time to avoid the rush, let them figure out any less than ideal quirks that need fix’n, and (hopefully) the price as you mentioned will stabilize… not a perfect plan, not the best plan, and not a plan that is for everyone, however it’s our plan that we agreed on and both of us feel pretty good about it…
Also I truly I am set on it and still trying to talk myself out of it, but only got as far as well if there aren’t any new ones available at the time to purchase get a used one ?
Personally can’t fall into the impulse buyer category because this has been a goal I set since the Ranger came back to the states.. the tremor is the impulse buy, because my beater I bought off my cousin for basically $100 and a ride to the Chevy dealer so he could get the small suv he purchased (traverse I think)… that got hit real bad by a guy who ran a red light.. I didn’t sue him.. and went to the ford store instead of the hospital ?.. because I was thinking dang it I need a ride to get to work tomorrow… so now I have the Ranger Tremor.. is that technically a impulse buy?

glad you're ok and the Tremor is pretty bad ass.....for now.....I'm with you.....I'll wait until the "hype" calms down.....and hopefully interest rates will drop as well.....

I read some of this.

That’s some commitment for sure. Hope it didn’t give you a headache ?

Yeah, run-on sentences, improper punctuation, so hard to follow. But that's just me, I am sure the content was very informative.

I'm picking up my Ranger Raptor next Wednesday. Guess, mid life crisis? Got MSRP but about 300 in travel expense.

I talked Villa down to +3k on their Azure Gray RR. I still said no. So if that is in your ballpark try but yes CA sucks. I have RR on order in SD promised at MSRP if you want to take over that. Order is in but no allocation 0 down.

Bryan on R5G after a few drinks.?

Same here?
See, thats what makes car buying great.
I got my 21 tremor under invoice. I was ready to walk away and just keep driving my old 2013 f150. I wasn’t expecting that price. I got to the dealer and it was already listed under invoice. Then I got another $500.00 off for a 1st responders discount

It’s a disposable object, I will never pay over the list price for a vehicle (new).
Some people just gotta have it! So they will gladly line the dealers pockets with free money.
Somebody must have bought the $93,000 bronco raptor my local dealer had on the showroom floor finally! ?

My 3 bedroom 2 bath house on an acre of land I bought and did some work to cost me 79,000 25 years ago. I figure it’s worth double that at least now.

What’s a raptor, ranger, bronco, etc worth in 25 years?
We are not taking 60s muscle cars here.

Your house is worth way more than double! Get on Zillow & type your address in!

Ok, you got me. Just did this. More than I thought. But it says my house is 1.5 baths. It's actually 2. WTF?

2 tubs? Or 1 tub and 1 shower stall?
Apparently small things like that make a difference to some Realtors when they list homes, and when the real estate apps pick up old listings.

Two fully functioning bathrooms, not just a toilet.

Love the Azure Grey RR but I'm still trying to control my impulse buy side!!.....I love my Lariat Tremor and really never off road it......no real need to pay all that extra $$$ just to say "hey, look at me!".....besides, I have a 2021 Porsche Cayman for my weekend car that keeps me happy......just have to keep resisting the urge!!...thanks for the info though and I want to know how much you love your RR once you get it!
