2023 Raptors

What’s the speculation or known on ordering a MY23 Raptors?
Is it golden tickets again or “standard order”?

After seeing the Raptor today, I’m sold that my garage needs one.
Tried to get answers from dealer, but they didn’t have a real answer.

As of right now it’s either a golden ticket or a luck dealer allocation. At a huge mark up.

When I talked to my dealer prior to picking mine up he said they were only getting 2 and he wouldn't tell me the selling price.

If you want a Bronco Raptor and cant get one you could always do what they did to Mirchell Watt's Bronco at TC Customs. His has an almost Raprorish look.

If you want a Raptor, visit your dealer. They will take your order even without available allocations. This is practically any Ford dealer. That is one reason why folks are waiting so long for their Broncos.

I ordered a Raptor in April before the MY22 Raptor order banks closed. I am #13 on my dealers list for a Raptor. They are a large volume dealer and may get 3 allocations annually for Raptors unless Ford increases production builds. This means I have up to a 4 year wait on a Raptor at MSRP.

No production MY2022 Raptor has been delivered yet, not one.

Ford's CEO came out the other day and said that they want these specialty vehicles (like the EV's, GT, Raptors and Broncos) sold online like Tesla does. The reason being so dealers can't play games with the price! Now if this stays true, then dealers and gonna go out of business quick. I don't know one dealer that can survive on just service. Now all dealers do have protection from this with the contracts they sign from Ford, but they can spin-off the Company and open a new line of business. Either way I see this going to court and being drug out for a long time. BTW Mitchell Watts from TC Customs does talk about this in one of his videos if you want to see it for yourselves.

We don’t know. But I’m hoping it’s another golden ticket situation.

If they were to sell the 2022 Raptor online, it would be sold out in minutes by profit hounds then put for sale with an even larger markup. They were only estimated to build 3000 MY22 Raptors.

I went on line and looked at the local dealership back in the Bay Area where I moved from. On line they have listed 37 Bronco’s in stock, 35 in transit and 8 of the ones in transit are Raptor’s. And they are well over 100K. Not sure how many of the Raptors are golden ticket and how many are stock orders.

Unfortunately that's gonna happen regardless who or how they get ordered. Someone wants to make a buck they will do it anyway possible!!
