I mean, it isn't though. It's a step up, but It just doesn't scream bad ass. It's what the wild track should have been... To me.

Crap…now you’ve done it. Made me wish I had kept that allocation!
There is literally no other vehicle sold that has the numbers of a Bronco Raptor!!! What else could you possibly want?!?!?! It has more ground clearance and suspension travel than ANY OTHER SUV!! Range Rover, jeep, yota, etc.
400hp TT V6
Fox 4.0 adjustable on the fly Suspension
Beefed up frame
Different suspension geometry
Upgraded axles
Electronic exhaust
37s
All with a factory warranty!! If that doesn’t scream badass, I don’t know what does!!!

I’d honestly do 5-10K I haven’t even been able to find that in SoCal
At this point I wouldn't expect to find one until they start showing up at lots. I know dealers, especially in SoCal, are going to pocket those orders and get lot units. Get one before November and be the Belle of the Ball at the 1000.
I turned down a Braptor allocation today due to the 15k markup. After all the tax and startups, I was looking at a 97k rig, which is C8 territory.

I loved my Raptors... have owned three of them over the years and they were amazing vehicles. That said, I wish Ford would have chosen a different name for their super Bronco as it just doesn't fit. On top of that, I don't really care for the design and what you really get for the money.
Either way, I don't pay markups. Ever. I shop around and shop around until I find what I want, for a price I'm willing to pay, from a dealership that still believes in customer service. I don't care how far I have to drive to do so, which is why I bought my Bronco in Texas, my last Raptor in Ohio, the one before that in Indiana, etc.
I'm always up front with my "finalist" dealerships in my search as well, telling them I want to work with someone who is willing to work just as hard to earn my money as I did, and that if their marketing strategy is sitting there with their feet up on the desk, waiting for someone to walk in with a suitcase full of cash, I won't be shopping there.
I leave them with whoever has the best vehicle, at the best price, with the best customer service wins.
