There’s a new F-150 Raptor in our local (economically depressed WV) Ford dealership priced at $105,000. It still blows my mind that there are people so wealthy out there that they would pay that much for an off-road vehicle that will likely never see dirt or mud. And it’s not a jealousy thing I would not mind seeing that sort of thing if they also produced a pick up truck for people who actually work. Something in the range of 25 to 45,000; they have the Ranger but the truck is so small you can barely fit anything in the bed is it really isn’t all that off-road capable. They just seem to have lost touch with the customers and only cater to people buying for vanity or hauling quarter million dollar campers.

My comment still stands. I can pay $60,000 for a loaded supercrew XLT, whereas the extended range XLT with no other options is $95,000 (the standard range with no options added is $79,000). And those are lightning prices listed on fords website, dealers are still marking them up another $10,000 in my area.
