The Accord's highest trim level STARTS at $31K. Playing with that and adding ONLY a set of their optional wheels got me to over $35K for a V6 Coupe with an auto trans. (they charge the same for auto or manual) Add the factory sport body kit to the car (yes, i see them out there like that too) and the price swells from there. I know alot of Rangers are sold used, but christ it sounds like you've never bought a new car before. They cost alot and options get out of hand fast if you dont watch it. Again. New Accord with everything for 28K. |

If you pay MSRP then you don't need to be buying cars. Taco I priced was 32. Taco at the dealer was 28K. Talk them down a bit and guess what, not 32K.
Again. New Accord with everything for 28K. I didnt know that. Its not like i bought a Ranger that stickered at $22K for $16K. Oh wait, I totally did. Im not talking transaction prices. The point brought forth was that Ford is asking too much for the truck in the first place. Is $32K out of line for a Tacoma? |
im gonig to say it again. The states, SO much cheaper for everything, id gladly buy a raptor for $40,000 the 09 f-150 platinum is almost 60 grand here. hell, when i got my 08, a brand new Fx4 LII was about $37,000. why? no idea, exact same truck the states has, dollar is almost par again. As far as the Raptor goes, i dont even think they are available in canada, i checked the ford.ca site and nothing about it, never seen one advertised or anything here. If anyone knows they are coming to canada, let me know, I'd love to see their price here haha
edit: adding the taco TRD, over $40,000 |

edit: adding the taco TRD, over $40,000 I'll agree with you there. The Canadians get raped by everyone when it comes to new cars. Sad seeing as alot of them are built there to begin with. |

For that 32 you get one of the best and most reliable trucks out there. I have no real need for a full size and I hate my Ranger. Nissan isn't very good and the Colorado is crap. So Tacoma. But then I also see that 32 and think I could get a full size for that much. I don't need a full size right now but I might one day. |

Nor would I pay $32K for a Tacoma. Id rather step into a Tundra for that price if i was set on a Toyota.
I am however, biased as all hell, so i wouldnt (and didnt) buy either one when i had the cash so there. When shopping for a vehicle after my Ranger was totaled, i cross shopped a G8 GT, Rangers and Mustangs. I made my choice, i stick by it and itll be paid off in 6 months. |

the ford plant is less than a half hour from me, except they do all the flex/fusion and i usually see a lot of f150s there too
I thought Fusions were built in Mexico? |
All this talk of tacos kinda makes me hungry...wait seriously I don't want to die in a rollover, I will stick with Ford products.
To all those that say the raptor is just an F150, do you know what bypass shocks are? |
Yea IMO they are a bit pricey but I think it offer's a lot. I just don't like how the bumper and skid plate look, it needs a well built tube bumper and heavy duty skid plate. The grill looks awsome which sets it apart from the regular f150. I still want to go out and just test drive one to see how it drives. I'm waiting for the 6.2 though!

$33K for a Tacoma? Thats smoking crack. So its not specific to any manufacturer. They are ALL expensive. Lets talk about Accords that are almost $40K now :D

1 Attachment(s)
I'll try to keep to the subject. Here's the one in the dealer 2 weeks ago when I bought my Ranger:
Attachment 134331 I learned that this truck is much wider than a normal F150, so to conform with DOT standards, marker lights were required. See if you can spot them. |
They're the little white lenses just above the bumper/flare corner.

wow that black raptor is amazing. i have no where to use it and hate the idea of extended cab full sizes but man i would buy that if i could leave 40K now. i like the idea of it. looks good. sure you can build one which would be fun but its a new alternative to that. get all the fancy gizmos and all with the suspension durability and even a warranty. i like it. if i lived by dunes and deserts id buy one. there thinking about a Screw version. that will sell like hot cakes.

overrated... for what ford spends on developing vehicles could be used to revive the ranger, or do something useful with
|
good write up in truck trend on it.seems really awesome and has alot of unique parts only to the raptor.and its only 2000 more than a 150.
can't build one like this for that kind of money. |

You have proof of people dieing in roll overs in Tacomas? Last time I checked the roof of my Ranger is a flimsy piece of sheet metal.
It is still a F150. Yes we know what bypass shocks are. Did you know you could buy them for your truck now from the aftermarket? If the raptor is just another f-150, why is it 4 inches wider, why are the front A's heavier, as well as the CVs? What about a rear axle with beefed up tubes and better shock mounts? Sounds like every F150 i have ever seen:eek13: As for the Toyota rollovers, check it out: Toyota rollover reports - Google Search CBS investigative report reveals Toyota hid evidence in rollover cases | Firm Announcements | Beasley Allen Toyota Accused of Hiding Evidence - CBS News |
I still dont see whats so good about a tacoma when i was looking for my truck i sat in a few and they feel like your in a car not a truck. Any one else think that?

I am very glad you do. Yea you can buy mostly external bypass shock, internals are very new to the market.

O yeah and about the raptor, If i had the money i would buy one in a heart beat. I saw a white one at a local dealership i think the sticker was something like 42? I still dont see how thats too bad.
