2024 Ranger Total Retail Unscheduled Orders (1/29/24)

My 2024 Ranger Lariat was ordered the 29th of May last year. Yes I have an order and VIN #. The build date slipped six different times. Yes there was a strike that certainly impacted production and yet I was hopeful each time it slipped I would receive the truck maybe in January. The build date was set for January 8th and the Ranger is in and has been in production since, yes, January 11th and it is now February 1st.

I did contact the dealership and here is what Ford said when he reached out for information.

Ford - “The 24MY Ranger has not achieved Okay To Buy (OKTB) yet, meaning Ford has not authorized the sale of these units to dealers and customers. The Michigan Assembly Plant is reviewing early production units for potential quality errors. This causes units, like the referenced VIN, to be put on “Quality Hold”, when in reality, there is most likely nothing wrong with the unit and it is just being prepped for final delivery to your dealership.

The delay on Ranger has been extended due to the striking of the plants late last year and preventative quality holds to ensure the vehicles are not shipped with poor quality.”

My thought is that it is sitting in a lot awaiting that final inspection but I have little hope it will be here in February. So tell me what you think? BTW I know how many miles are on the odometer and how much gas is in the tank and what the tire pressure is because my dealership could look at those stats from my VIN #. Oh yeah it is in a lot somewhere I am certain.
