In my mind the Raptor is a whole nother story. It's highly different from a "normal" high end vehicle because it's too damn wide and too damn tall for day to day application. That reduces the buying audience by a huge amount I would guess.
Yeah, I'm thinking it obviously makes more sense to hang onto this one. The bigger refresh is said to be coming next year and if there is a Hybrid version I might just order one of those. And if there's a new Antimatter Blue version I'll def. order that!
Since I've already owned two Wildtraks I...
Yup, got a quote to get my current top painted for $800. My only other issue is that I don't really like the red color, but I wasn't entirely sold on the white one I was getting either. What I REALLY wanted was Antimatter Blue, but I wasn't going to put down 38k for a 2 year old first year...
Right, but my dealer isn't willing to reduce the price of the new Wildtrak WHATSOEVER outside of the measly $2,500 that the factory is offering. I guess it makes more sense to let it sit on the lot for months with the others they can't sell?
You're mostly right. What happened was I ordered a Wildtrak in '21 with the painted top, couldn't get it, then had my truck sit from April til October on the lot until I received it. LOVED IT, Antimatter blue..... Last October, someone ran a stop sign and that truck was totaled. I rushed out and...
Interesting take, I guess I didn't consider that since I was only fixing an issue from the factory, the '23 Wildtrak was lower than the other Sas trims. That seems to have been corrected in '24.
I agree about the accessories point as well, but I felt that full vehicle paint protection is nothing but an added benefits. I spent a lot to get it put on and the next owner would benefit from the protection.
That might be possible, if the assumption is that I did major suspension work. I only added the kit to level it, the more expensive Fox shocks are still there and still in the sweet zone. Should I just have ignored that question? I answered it the same way in the Blue Book valuation.
Hey everyone, wanted to share my experience here in case it helps anyone. Purchaed a '23 Hot Pepper Red Bronco at invoice price last October (roughly 62k). I added about 15k in accessories (paint protection, leveling kit etc), and it has 10k miles on it.
Took a shot in the dark and ordered a...
The '24 Wildtrak with Fox shocks has about a 2.5" rake in the front and both the front end and the back end are lower than the other Sasquatch trims (2.5" in the front and 1.5" in the back). If your front end is higher than the back, or even level, someone messed with the suspension before you...
