OUCH but she sure is a great looking truck. I think the new body style is growing on me. Not the price however!
Here is what I priced out:

Everything now days is insanely priced, go to the Ford site and price out a loaded Maverick Lariat, damn near $40k and it's not going to do half the stuff the Raptor will.

Now THAT is insane. For a f***ing Maverick? Not with my money.

Some people have more money than sense. I'm personally not paying that for any truck. My Ranger is paid off and was paid off a couple months after I bought it. $34k. Going back to 2020 I could buy TWO Rangers for the price of one now. No way can it be justified. I just looked at a 2023 King Ranch F150 and it was almost $80k. I'd damn sure get that before a Raptor Ranger to cruise the mall.

there must still be money somewhere in this economy left somewhere LOL
I dont think its a smart idea to go into the next few years in any kind of Debt.
back in Jan. I spent a few months looking for a hardship case or a dealer that needed to move something, in Apr. I found a 2021 XLT 4x4 Sport FX4 a few states away with 13k on it, with all the Mods I wanted and would have done any way they wanted $39,500 I said its cash and I offer $29,000 we went back and forth a few days and they came down to $31,500 and I said I will be there in 2 days with a bank draft, deals are out there if you dont rush or jump into or have the time to look
Look for someone that just got one and cant afford the payments, or now has life issues or a Dealer thats way extended on their lot plan, I saw a lot of deals yet waited, I found mine on facebook marketplace, no damn way I would buy this years model thats just crazy, Plus if you are close to retirement it would be stupid going into it in Debt. Vehicle or House (Be DEBT Free!)

Keep in mind Dan’s using the Canadian Ford site and that price is in Canadian Pesos - still bloody insane for a Maverick!

While I tend to agree when it comes to mostly cosmetic up-sale packages (Yea I am talking about you $13,000+ Roushe owners... sorry) I am not sure I understand your thought process regarding a trim top tier truck.

These prices are the new norm, its not going back. Those of you thinking it will are a few bananas short for lack of a better description.

When your current "paid for truck" is finally ready to go, let us know how the price shopping goes for a truck with those features and get back to us.

The price is fine, barring any dealer ADM mark up.

A well equipped ZR2 averages out only about $4,000 less after taxes, but the Raptor gets you the TT V6 motor and a much nicer interior and a few other doo-dads.

I wouldn't have canceled my Job 1 allocation Raptor if not for the writing on the wall (UAW strike). I was ready to move up in truck trim and 6-8 months was my limit in patience. That clearly was not going to happen.

In my case it also saved me money not only on MSRP, but also $5,000 (+ taxes on that) in ADM I was being charged on the Raptor when I snapped up a customer canceled ZR2 already being delivered to a dealer a few states away.

I may gravitate back towards the original plan of buying a Raptor, but only after Ford gets their shit in order (regarding production time lines) and maybe starts cracking down on ADM madness. A majority of Chevrolet dealerships I spoke with charged zero mark up, while in stark contrast, a majority of Ford dealerships were more than happy to charge mark up.

I can stomach a minor ADM based on true rarity and demand, but I'd rather not at all.

There is a lot more to what is seen, I think Ford Corp. knew what was coming with both the economy and the UAW they have high end think tanks that sit around and Pre-Think these things, and dealers really had no clue, they are bottom feeders! (they are about to) and Ford pushed production and front loaded the dealers and Lot Plans, if you know how that works with the dealers, then they came up with those crazy markups people were paying!
that screwed everything down the chain, now there are more Repos in this country than tow truck drives to pick them up, if you are watching the markets you see some of the same shit shows as 2008, its all greed again, except this time its gonna be much worse, stop listening to the MSM its a scripted show
They already Told You what was going to happen and people just laugh at the statement "Soon you will own nothing and be happy" if you are not already Debt free and own (hold in hand) in the next two years expect a fun time!
Blackrock, Vanguard and investment firms that are sitting on cash will come out on top as the bottom 90% puts food and gas on credit card
As a N.Yer I have to add .... ButTheFuckDoIKnow LOL

As someone who doesn't like "leather" seats, it confuses me why they don't offer a non leather option for the raptor or lariat...

Correct. I should have made that more clear. Converts to ~$42,000USD

Yep. Got it. Did a quick mental conversion before my comments. (My territory at work is .)

Agreed. Sadly.

I priced out the closest I could do to what Soupie is, bare bones XL with tow package, carpet, remote mirrors, and basic cruise control.

The price is $34,800 (carpet and tow package added).

Soupie was $28,520 sticker and $26,020 after rebates.

So a 2024 is $6,280 more which, to me, seemed like a big increase. But it's a crew cab and its Sync is way more modern than mine and remote mirrors are stock (that was $1,135 for my added 101A).

I think I'm okay with that 2024 price and think it's pretty good value compared to the rest of the auto market (but won't be changing anytime soon, too many mods on Soupie and halfway through with decent monthly payments - $6,000 down, 3 years at 0.9%).

Also not changing because there's no Scab and, probably the real deal killer, no Race Red!).

No Race Red?!? WTF! =D

And no old school steelies ... =)

Soupie's inspiration

It's almost like inflation and demands for higher pay have an effect on the price of things.

But let's demand more American made sruff where the workers demand 50+ an hour while we want to pay outsourced 5 dollar a day labor prices for an end product.
