Saw my first on the road this week.
Thats got to be a winner for the small truck market. Under or at $60K MSRP.

At that price (considering today's stupid truck market) I think it'll be a hit.

I really like them and was on reproag's wait list for one until I found they're not flat-towable. Based on anecdotal evidence, it looks like the markups for the Ranger Raptor are being reduced quickly, which would indicate production is catching demand. At the current trajectory, I'm guessing they'll be under MSRP by the end of the year, if not sooner.
Good to know. I might be interested to see what inventory looks like later this summer.
Some BS from that article
"Warranty extends to five years / unlimited kilometres"

Funny coincidence - I was really looking forward to these and I got to see one up close and in person today. I got to sit in it, but not drive it, as it was a customers pre-ordered truck. The quality just seems a little lacking for the price. The upholstery on the seats really seemed cheap, even though it looks great in photos. I will say that the rear seats were roomier than I expected. Overall, this truck looked like a pre-production vehicle and not a finished product. Ford has some refining to do on this truck.
Any photos?
Can't be any cheaper looking than the new Tacoma premium lines…

I can't imagine paying that much for a Ranger, or any other mid-size. Really any truck, if I'm being honest
The new Tacoma Trailhunter and TRD Pro start at $62k and $63k. Guessing the same trim levels will be a little higher on the new 4Runner, almost approaching the Lexus GX Overtrail pricing
BTW the one I saw today had a $57k window sticker. I don't know if the buyer paid any markup or was forced to buy a bunch of BS dealer add-ons.

I'll have to see it for myself. Bc the video and photos I've seen look nice. Nicer than the Lariat trim line. But without being too much. IMO the interior is great. The bed size is great. Price tag best of the midsize truck performance vehicles.
Was just about to post that. Topher's POV reviews are great fun.
Yes, it looks great in videos and photos. The actual fit of the upholstery is a bit loose over the foam cushions (you can see that in the video above in both the front and back seats if you pay close attention) and the black leather/vinyl material is just cheap looking in person. Disappointing execution of a nice design.
Thanks for the input.
Seeing any on the lots, or are these being scooped up by waiting lists/pre-order customers?
Wondering what my chances are of finding one in the next 4-5 months.

The Explorer ST is a much better platform with the same engine. Much better fuel economy. Same towing capacity. Way more comfortable. I use mine as a truck. With all of the seats down I can carry way more stuff than the Ranger or Bronco Raptors. Cool looking truck. Just not very useful.
Let me know how it goes when you place the fresh carcass of a dead deer in your explorer.
Or a soaking wet, muddy lab from a duck hunt.
Try that, then let's discuss usefulness.

Sure if you offroad on the regular a truck is better. If you tow a 25ft RV a F150 is better. But 90% of these Ranger and Bronco raptors are suburb-cruising garage queens that never get off road. The ST runs circles around them in that use case. That's my point.
If I have something really nasty or oversized to carry I have a utility trailer - 12' of cargo space vs the pathetic 5' bed on a ranger. Most people with trunks with ever decreasing bed length would be better off with a SUV or even a minivan - its Auto board fact!
I was really surprised when he said the combined MPG is only 15.2. I get 15 in my 5.0L F-150.tk for tu juan said:

I dont know what this means, but I'm not sure I even want to ask.
Stay in your lane please.
The 3.0 TT requires boost to make torque. Getting large off-road tires rolling on a vehicle with poor aero requires the turbos to be spinning. With the ST I can get 24mpg hwy in eco mode. That drops off big time in sport mode. Hook up my 4000lb teardrop camper to it and it drops to 12-14 depending on head wind or tail wind in tow/haul mode. I would hate to see what the Raptor MPG is towing a trailer.Ryan the Temp said:I was really surprised when he said the combined MPG is only 15.2. I get 15 in my 5.0L F-150.tk for tu juan said:

He's the youtube guy in the video that says he bought his raptor as a daily driver in the burbs - the back seats can accommodate car seats. Even rear-facing!TikkaShooter said:Quote:

I gotta get out of my lane to pass your raptor in my ST.
You sound fun at parties
I am actually. I can take a joke without getting butthurt. The Raptor Ranger is a cool looking truck. I said that already. It perfectly fills the gap between the F150 Raptor and Maverick Tremor.TikkaShooter said:

Agreed. My full size 22 Raptor got about the same mpg as this cute little thingRyan the Temp said:I was really surprised when he said the combined MPG is only 15.2. I get 15 in my 5.0L F-150.tk for tu juan said:

Called Rountree about the white one on the lot.
$10,000 market adjustment
LOL.
Yikes, didn't know that. Ridiculous.
Yeah. I tried to explain that I can fly 1 way on South West to just about anywhere in the country for $300 or less, and buy at MSRP.
That didn't seem to matter.
Same with Mac Haik who wanted $15,000 over MSRP
