My Ford sales manager (small town I've been using for many years) said he does not know their allocation yet, and they are very small commodities. He said they are MSRP, but he doesn't know pricing and assumes they are in the $100k range.

I'm on the fence. He said he has a bunch of people on the list already.

109k starting MSRP for a truck with the same suspension as the regular one but but but but you can hear the vroom vroom at stoplights and Starbucks parking lot.


It’s amazing how easy it is to amuse idiots lol

I didn't realize the only difference was the noise.

Here I thought there was a big difference between 700 HP V8 and 450 HP V6.

Base MSRP is $109,000. I bet a loaded one is near $130,000.

I imagine they are pretty loaded as-is.

Does the TRX already own this?

Looking forward to real world comparisons... just seems a year or 2 late and 30 grand more.

Raptor R will be faster and more capable, but the TRX is def cheaper (~$79,000).

not that I'd be a buyer either way but that starting price is a solid 20k higher than I would have guessed. Any word on production numbers?

Besides dual panel sunroof, what will other available options be ?

Not sure. There will be.

There will probably be a 37" package, carbon fiber this or that, wheels, interior upgrades, decals, painted this or that, etc.

My wife would not approve of my dually, GT500, Viper AND a Raptor R.
Your GT500? I thought you passed and sold your 500TP?

It sounds as if 37 is standard on the R. But I’m sure there will be other up charges. Not including adm.

That was the 2021. My 2022 should be here in a couple of weeks.!

Not sure why Ford did not up the TRX in power. Its like they dont want to be confrontational with Ram.

On the other side, it is lighter so if they test it and it is beating the Ram in straight line speed it will make the Raptor appear to be punching above its weight and will make the TRX look bad to people who don't know better. 7hp is nothing but the weight difference is where it will make a difference. Wonder what curb weight is.
