Are premiums above MSRP charged on the Ranger Raptor like they are on the F-150 Raptor?

Hi John,

My take is I am delighted to see a Ranger Raptor made it to market...there was a lot of pushback to table the product from what I hear...Glad the Powers Than Be got it to the customer hands. Reviews have been quite positive from what I can tell and it is available for the employee pricing which is pleasing. That said...finding a dealer that would accept Z plan or X plan for a Ranger Raptor are likely going to be quite rare, I have a feeling. Sad that a Ranger Raptor would not fit into my standard 2 car garage unless Margie switched to a bicycle as here mode of transportation and being over 80...she finds the Nautilus "Just Fine!"

I checked with Tito on his take but all I got was a blank stare, so no tortoise opinion on the Raptor but he did enjoy a lengthy ride in the 2019 Ranger as we are still trying to get him "loose" after 5 months of sleep...

Best,
Phil

Hey Phil, good to see that familiar profile pic again.

With it being so close to April 1, I double-checked my calendar in case it might have been Rob or the Admin putting one over on us. 😀
