I’ve been posting a few comments here and there for about a week now and figured I should stop and say hello. I live in south central Indiana and currently drive a Gen 3 Raptor. I really do love it but have been quite curious as to what the TRX is all about since it’s release. The darn things are hotter than the sun and I didn’t think I’d ever be able to get one. My local RAM dealership told me last year I could order one at msrp…then when I walked inside the dealership they laughed at me and said I could get one for $10k over msrp. This is when I jumped over to my local Ford dealership (they are awesome) and they happily set me up with a great trade in value on my last truck and msrp on my new Raptor.
Fast forward ~6.5/7 months and the week I’m taking possession of my Raptor I find out about a few awesome dealerships that are helping guys order TRXs under msrp. Well, as much as I have liked my Raptors….they were never as beasty as the TRX. Temptation took hold after thinking on it for a couple months. I spoke to a few dealerships and ultimately decided to work with a dealership out of Kentucky for 4% under invoice. Great group of guys. They told me that I might face an extended delay if I ordered a level 2, but that’s really how I wanted my truck. So I did it, placed the order the last day of Feb. Granite, Level 2, advanced tech pack, sunroof, carbon, bed liner pack, and running boards.
Got my VIN last week, and when I spoke with the guys today they told me I was in D1 status with a build date estimated to be 4-4-22!!!
Im trying not to get too excited as I didn’t expect a build date for 6-7 months… so hearing this made me very happy. Not sure if I just got really lucky or if half the new orders got scared off by the rising price of gas…but I’ll be happy to take an early build date either way.
Sorry for the long post. Thrilled to be here. Eager to learn from you all.
