Poop Fire .. dealer called with a 2021 GEN3 Raptor allocation and I am all in

[Raptor911]

I am not crazy and you are?

I used to commute in an Escalade (2010). I spent between $1600 and $2000 a month in fuel..... what’s $400/month in MPG?

msrp is 64,145. I will post my Dora when I get it. My dealership has until June 10 to submit the order. They tried yesterday and they couldn’t as their system does not show any pricing yet.

Anyway I will post a detailed build and pricing per option for anyone who is interested

What are the gen3 going for msrp? I havent looked lately as Im eying going from my f150 to a SD.

Got it. Still no hybrids or EVs allowed in my garage.

I agree. I will never own a EV or hybrid. My personal opinion.

It's going to be a killer truck and is the best looking Raptor yet IMO, more subtle than it's predecessors. Enjoy!

Got it. Still no hybrids or EVs allowed in my garage.

We all have our hang ups I guess. No autos allowed in mine, which also rules out hybrids only because the don't make them. I think a 2.3/7MT hybrid would have been awesome though and I'd probably have checked that box.

Ah, gotta have that V8. I get it.

Just so you you, the first car, the Porsche? V8.
The second one, the McLaren? V8.
The Ferrari at the end? A measly V12.

I like old cars too, man. A '69 Judge (in orange, of course) is still a dream car of mine. Yet, every single car I've had has been faster, more reliable, handles better, more efficient, and more fun to drive than a classic could hope to be.

I try to remember there's a difference between romanticizing the past, and fetishizing it at the expense of life moving forward

I wasn’t trying to be “engine specific” just showing you pics of what l find beauty in a vehicle. It could be a 4 cyl for all I care.

And no it has nothing to do with “romanticizing the past”, cause last i check they still make internal combustion engines. When they become obsolete, they your comment will be valid. So until then....

let me find the pic for you of the hybrid warthog testing for you.

Yea...those are instrumentation pressure lines not high voltage lines. All the data acquisition equipment is in the trunk so those are running back to the analog receivers.

Source: Trust me.

lol. Keeping my bronco. Actually waiting on the warthog also. There is a bill working itself through Congress that if a hybrid is built in a union factory then it will qualify for a 12,500 tax credit. Rumor has it that the warthog will have a hybrid option. If this all works out then I will buy 2.

It would be wonderful if that bill passes.

Here are the details of the bill >> https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-senate-panel-advances-ev-tax-credit-up-12500-2021-05-27/

It would be wonderful if that bill passes.

Pretty bold statement generalizing individuals. To answer your questions...i love my color TV and smart phone. I’m all for medical advances.

BTW I have a full head of hair, but I actually choose to shave it bald so there’s that.

0 for 4 on your assumptions. Please try again.

I'm just saying that people like that, not YOU of course, just refuse to let go of the past. Gasoline won't last forever, electricity will. It's just odd to me to grasp so hard to inferior products. To each his own, but EV's will be faster, cheaper in the long run, and better for the environment. All you lose is the sound. Have you ridden in an EV? The power/torque is truly shocking. The future is electric and that's a fact.

I will be ordering a 2021 Raptor this week as well. 37” tires, 801a and the built in generator. Hope to see it by September…..

Is that a badge of honor or do you really have a reason to dislike them. Asking for my future grandchildren.

 

[Moya7]

neither can I it’s crazy how people getting 2 Broncos gt500 there’s more millionaires on bronco 6g than I thought . My black diamond is 48000 after tax tags and doc fees and that’s crazy expensive for me lol

Bout the same as mine (also a BD) once it’s built (got a VIN) if my husband will get on board. That’s no small change for me either. I have nice cars but I shop well and always buy used, until now.

Definitely no awards, badges, medals, or trophies being handed out. Just a personal preference.
