Make sure they get the kinks ironed out, before dropping 60-80 grand. They sure do look awesome though. The grey color they had on display at the rodeo was sweet!Last edited by 2014FusionM; 04-19-2017, 02:40 PM.

My first new truck cost me 1/2 a years salary. My second one cost me 1/3 of a years salary. The last new truck I bought cost me a whole years salary.
An 80K truck would cost me over a years salary which seems like to much inflation for me. But that's just me.

I'm definitely not disagreeing with you. Truck prices have gone crazy in recent years

Unless they had to have it to make a living, I guess. And that's still debatable.
Will most people that buy a Raptor use it to it's actual potential..probably not. I don't see that any different than people buying high-end sports cars or similar.
People spend their money how they want to spend it. Trying to judge someone on how much they pay for something is useless as it can be applied in so many ways.

just test drove one....the salesman didn't like me too much
I told him I'm not buying one until I get my flat bill hat, skinny jeans, and some more money from dad.....
mouthing off about how someone chooses to use their truck is such an asinine argument.....my current truck listed at 75K (I didn't pay anywhere near that) but I regularly haul a gooseneck, a tractor, metal, and various building materials.
I also spend up to sixteen hours a day in and out of my truck, so I like it to be comfortable.
You act like it's your money.
It's not.

To a large extent we as consumers help fuel the fire by buying what they sell no matter what the price. We are a spoiled society (me included) and refuse to speak with their pocket books.
My major problem is that I'm old enough to remember nickel soda pops and new Chevy trucks for $1,645.00. I guess that makes me think everything is to high.
