Curious if the F150 Raptors are selling or not? Been watching them on ebay and bidding is stopping at mid 20k for most of them, might be wrong though. Selling price are high 30's to low 40's.
I know when I went to buy my truck back in Aug they had a Raptor on the lot. I went back a couple days later to do paperwork and it was already in the back. The salesman said it was on the lot only two days before someone showed up to buy it with cash.
i have sold 3 and have a white one and a orange one on the lot

They are selling at the local ford store here in NM. They have received 3 within the last month and sold faster than the roush,new body style mustang and the gt500. I took a close look at one the other day before it sold. They are very nice lookin trucks.

I just looked at a white one at the local dealer. they said it was "sold" but if I wanted to write them a check the buyers name could change. I just laughed and drove away in my cobra.

Not here, same raptors are sitting on dealer lots that were here when it was released. One of them has over 100 test drive miles on it too and they won't budge off sticker. Good luck!
Small local dealership got one and sold within first week. Black, graphic delete, loaded everything else.

Yeah, that 6.2L is sexy, but eh... I had a Lightning, a 5.4L with a Whipple gets it done too. Never thought I'd want an offroad type vehicle, but boy have my tastes changed...and holy crap does the blue one at our local dealer look sexy.
Great... No offense meant, but I hope the prices on the 5.4Ls plummet when the 6.2L comes out next year, haha. Gotta have one, maybe a little present for graduating college...hmm...
Probably too early to get a good read. Initial sales look good, but you need a good year + before you can call it successful. Hell, $4 gas could easily hit again and kill this thing.
I paid $47,000 for all options except three Rhyno lining, paint protection, under coating and interior protection. Three options left out were orange interior, navigation and rear bed extender. List was $ 44,045.00 then add the new options.

Where in Indiana you live? Everyone I've seen in southern Indiana or Louisville KY area has sold relativly quick. I stopped by a Ford dealer the other day and they had a black one with graphics. Looks pretty nice, but I'd have to pass on the graphics.

oh, they're definitely selling. If i can remember correctly there are over 3,000 units that have been ordered by people, and already well over 700 have been delivered to customers.
They don't seem to be sellling in my area. The local dealers all have them on their lots... "asking sticker but willing to deal" is what I was told by the two when I asked what they wanted for them. The one here in Temple has had their orange one since they first came out and they also have a black one for a few weeks. The other dealership near by has had an orange one since the first week they were delivered to dealers.
I would not mind having one.... but I'd wait for the 6.2L and a crew cab.
I really wish Ford would have spent the R&D time on a new Lightning though. I think it would far out sell the Raptor and would also appeal to more buyers. I think there are more people looking for a fast 2wd street truck than a off-road 4x4....being as most 4x4 owners rarely ever get off a paved road.

Lift kits way outsell speed parts when it comes to truck parts. In the truck world the really money is in 4x4s. The Raptor would likely outsell a similarly priced L 2:1.

ford did. they spent lots of money and lots of time on the new f150. what did they find you might ask? same thing as dodge found!
that a heavier 500hp truck would not be significantly faster than the old lightning and it would be significantly more expensive. the diffference between ford and dodge is that ford cut their losses, while dodge took a beating on the srt10 year after year.
