Chicken & the egg argument. They could deliver a couple thousand trucks this month to customers, but how many of those are on youtube and how many will actively comments/post/review the truck the way the press does? Wait a month, get journalists into the trucks, let them get their videos and...

LOL. That threshold is a couple thousand. Not the less than 100miles (more like less than 50 miles) any new car gets between moving from the plant, to the lot, to the truck, to the next lot, to the next truck, to the dealer, to the dealer's lot, etc, etc. Heck, dealers can put a few hundred...

I know. My car is still on "Scheduled." My point was, I don't think the tracker glitches are related to the vehicle(s) moving to the next step in the process. Just that it is a system glitch, regardless of where your vehicle is in the pipeline.

It is either a system update, glich, or both. I am still scheduled for 3/11 and I see/don't see the same things you do. I am not expecting my truck to move to "In Production" 5 weeks early.

This isn't an email for you and your truck specifically...these are automated emails with a specific trigger. Sometimes there is a delay in that trigger coming through. Like when the online retailer I bought something from, and they ship UPS. UPS tells me when my package arrives at my store. The...

BMW's B&O system is VASTLY different than what is equipped in the Ranger. I'd wager BMW's Harmon Kardon system is comparable to Ford's B&O. That said, if the Ranger's B&O is at least as good as BMW's standard Hi-Fi...then I think we're OK. That system is missing some mid-range, lacks clarity at...

Tell me more about how you don't know what is involved in new-model overhauls and production plant changes. Also, what "millions of dollars" are they wasting? And what useless "marketing money" are they wasting? Ford hasn't put out anything by way of marketing other than a few videos and then...

You can't look at anything individually. It is holistic. Each state has their own laws on different things. That said, you're "In Production" is only 10 days old. You'll get the car eventually. There are so many things at play here, even when it all goes to plan. Ford unfortunately had to deal...

Typically speaking (form the industry side), if there are any outstanding recalls or TSBs as the vehicle is getting built, the manufacturer is obligated to address these prior to customer taking delivery. Either the OEM or the dealer will fix/address, either as part of production, at a Vehicle...

All has to do with dimensional rigidity. The cap may prevent the flex accounted for within the bad design, thus directing such forces to the path of least resistance. If the OP didn't do what is required to run the cap...then the OP is in error. I find nothing comical about this. Now, if the...

1) Piggybacks are the least ideal way to tune any car. Sure, "cheap," but I wouldn't touch that. Plenty of UK & Aussie tuners that have cracked the 3L engine. Order from them 2) It has been proven that aftermarket intakes do nothing for performance. On any modern car. I'd opt for aluminum turbo...

Thanks for the update!! That said, this logic makes no sense on Ford's side. They could have easily rectified the situation by only fulfilling stock orders. At a minumum, If you're going to say "eff it," at least prioritize the order dates, regardless of retail or stock. If they did either of...

Do F150 Raptor wheels fit Ranger Raptor?

I am sure someone does, but typically at the industry level, allocations on specialty vehicles that are standard series production increase in the second model year. Once they get through 2024 production, I would expect Raptors to be easier to find both on allocation & on the showroom floor...

Ford and all manufacturers are limited in what they can do due to federal franchise laws that date back to the 50s...back when franchises were small and virtually powerless vs. the OEM. Since then, there are numerous dealer groups that are million dollar companies, and even public in many...

It sounds like the laws/binding nature of the Purchase Agreement varies from state to state. Makes sense - each state has varying laws regarding automotive sales, such as advertising, messaging, etc, etc, all largely point towards protecting the consumer. That said, my opinion, and at least in...

Removed on my Raptor build as well

Just before Christmas, mine was scheduled for 3rd week of February. First week of January it was pushed back to the 2nd week of March.

This appears to be the safest/proper way: According to him, the ride is slightly stiffer up front, which makes sense, because the spring is more compressed normally, than stock.

I would never agree to purchase a vehicle without the possibility of a refundable deposit. As others have mentioned, that might as well be stealing on something that they know will sell. It is different when you play in the BMW world, wherein your probably building something that's unique and...
