2026 Ranger with power moonroof build date confirmation

[Simulation Anomaly]

and the delivery window updated this morning. Looks like whatever constraint might have been holding up the moonroof order was completed.

Man! I wonder what the point was in alerting all dealers just for a 1 week delay?

I'm going to contact my salesman tomorrow and see if there's anything that can be done... But I was assigned a VIN and build date this week so I'm not sure if it's possible

A few updates:

1. Reached out to my salesman and he was looking into adding the power moonroof back to my build, but haven't heard back yet. I already have a VIN generated with a schedule build date of 06Jul, so not hopeful

2. New scheduling video dropped. Did not mention anything on Rangers in the video, but someone else commented a question and the poster responded. At least for me, this would mean waiting another 2 months (Without moonroof: Build Date in July, Delivery in Aug, waiting for Moonroof: Build Date in AT EARLIEST Sep, Delivery in Oct)... don't think I can wait that long, so wasn't meant to be!

It is DEFINITELY worth waiting an additional two or three months to get what you want.

Not sure it is for me. This is already far longer than I had planned on waiting. Never ordered a car before - I'm used to walking out with a car same day I go shopping! Ha.

I really really want a sunroof. But not sure it's worth the wait. Either way, my mind might be made up for me: I already have a VIN and build date, and if the sunroof option isn't available until Sep production, I think the only way I could get it is by canceling my order, losing my $500 deposit, and going back to the negotiation table... Even if I was OK waiting that much longer, I'd hate to lose the deal I know I have and have to fight all over again.

I actually enjoy the car-buying experience. I've ordered most of my vehicles since 2004 (Dodge Ram 2500 HEMI w/ 6-speed manual). If I don't order them, I do extensive internet research to "locate" them and then either have a local dealership arrange a trade or do the online purchase option myself.

I purchased a new 2024 Ranger Lariat in 05/2024 with an MSRP of $51,115. A week later, I noticed the local Toyota dealership had a Tacoma TRD EXACTLY how I wanted my Ranger Lariat. I even went to test drive it! I've never done this before. Twenty-five months later, every time I see that Ranger, I say to myself, "it doesn't have a moonroof."

Man, I'm sure I will be thinking this too... I'm going to have to think on this. Let's see what my salesman says first

Got a response from my salesman. Said they tried again and were told Ford isn't taking orders for Power Moonroof at this time. He reiterated that if it were only a few week hold, they would have just left build orders in the queue rather than contacting all dealers to alter/cancel orders because of the moonroof.

My guess at this point is is that theyre releasing any moonroof trucks that were already built, but not building or allowing orders until Job 3 starts in a few months.

So I'm sticking with no moonroof!

Im guessing there will be no moonroof trucks built or delivered.
There is obviously a problem with it.

Mine shipped... Should be interesting, hoping there is actually a moonroof and that it actually works lol:

Will do... As you can see it was stuck in production for a full month well past it's blend date (and I ordered in early February). So it almost points to the QA issue being found and I guess resolved on the first batch of rangers with moonroofs. They delayed second batch and created a job 3 for rangers, probably to set up their supply chain to resolve the problem. I could very well be getting a bandaid ranger here, so may not be a good thing.

Edit: @alrashid2 I should probably add, subsequent Rangers w/ moonroofs will probably be produced in September now, so if you can wait that long, that's what Long McArthur said in his latest youtube video comments Scheduling Information for May 28, 2026

I hope so.
I'd rather be wrong...

I think @Simulation Anomaly will get their truck before me by a week or so, their truck as well as mine was labelled as built the exact same day. I am assuming theirs is also shipped. This is probably the day Ford released the existing moonroof rangers.
