Price protection on pushed Raptors.

[Internationalraptor]

So I called Ford customer support to see if I could determine my price protection for my day one, hour one reservation that I converted to a Raptor order. After nicely explaining my circumstances, day one, hour one and that I had my configuration set on February 26th but my dealer couldn’t get into the system on March 9th or the 10th and had business out of town the 11th through the 13th and ordered it from a 99’ed order on the 14th she said let’s see what your price protection is. She took my information and came back to tell me I’ve got a $250 credit. I started laughing and said yeah that’s my reservation deposit and the $$$ they gave me for taking away the Raptor sticker option I had checked.


Things went quickly downhill from there.

I did start to get an understanding of how price protection works. You go to your dealer and renegotiate your purchase agreement based on the 2023 pricing. Then when the unit comes in the protection credit is applied to the new 2023 agreement. In my case $250.

what an F’n joke. Ford couldn’t even entice us with any new features. Even the damn graphic package that I splurged for is exactly the same!

JOKE JOKE JOKE.

There is NO WAY on a $5k price increase that price protection is $250.

That’s what she told me mine was. She said everyone’s was different. I asked what others were and she told me she couldn’t tell me.

Needless to say I’m pissed! I was already stretching my budget to the absolute max with an 86K purchase on a ‘22. Now Ford wants me to pay an additional 7K on the exact same machine that they couldn’t produce for me in ‘22.

Ford hasn't announced what price protection will look like exactly for 2023MY. They said there will be price protection, but neither we nor the dealers have gotten details yet.

And devil is always in the details with this sorta stuff.

Same boat. I am a day 1 (july 13 2020) holder. Converted to a raptor when we could, wasn’t schedule and now converted again for a 2023 but dealer says it probably won’t be price protected (but to be confirmed) and I have to eat 7K increase just because of Ford despite I am a day 1 res holder….
In Ford website on the FAQ it says Raptor not eligible for protection.

Ford has not announced any price protection on the Warthog ... yet. And I thought once you accepted your golden ticket you gave up your price protection?

Yes price protection went away when you went from your reservation that was converted to an order and then GT for a Raptor. Raptor cost much more than what ever your order was. However now that Raptors are being pushed to 23 I feel the 22 Raptor order should be protected when pushed to 23. Hopefully Ford will do the right thing.

Seems pretty clear to me.

When taking the special edition question out of context it seems like there is no protection for Raptors - HOWEVER, the Heritage Limited DID not exits yet - so if you are SWTICHING to Raptor or HLE then there is no protection is how I read this. Price protection will be based on March 11th ORDER status. Personally, for me that is a little troublesome because my order was not updated in the system until March 20, 2022. It also sounds like alot of it is on the dealer to find the certificate (which will likely be in the form of a rebate at purchase completion)

So if you had a Raptor all along there should be PP, if you switched anytime after 3/11/22 then there won't be. Not a lawyer and I don't think an FAQ doc qualifies as a binding term or condition - but that's my take on it.

Seems pretty clear to me.

This says ‘switching to’. When I switched from a Badlands to the Raptor I lost the $900 (or whatever it was) price protection. I’d bet a dollar that they will price protect the Raptors that were bumped

I have asked my salesman to look into this and my dealer is pretty good. If there is a Warthog PP to be had on they will find it. I will update once this post or create a new one when they get back to me.

BTW .. My order was submitted on 3/10 and it was based on an allocation and not a GT

Yeah mine was based on an allocation for performance and I don't think it got confirmed until after the 10th 11th cuz that's when I believe order banks reopened for golden ticket Raptors. I mean I'm not happy about it if I don't get price protection definitely not going to be a showstopper for me at this point just puts a little crimp in the accessory budget.

100% .. the increase of $5,280 in 2023 will not stop me from buying one.

I am already preparing myself that PP will not exist and have decided to eat rice 7-days a week instead of the usual 5-days a week to save some $$
