The latest demand from the UAW was a 25% increase in pay across the board. You can always ask....... In the end the company needs to stay profitable, the investment capital needs to be there and you need workers (albeit declining due to Tech advancement). Hard to determine "FAIR", - in...
Oh, I'm keeping my order and will own one. My dilemma is we ordered two Maverick's for a reason (Long story). We took the first one (My son ended up buying it from me) and the second one is coming up for production. Do I take it (Betting Jan delivery) and wait for the RR whenever it shows or...
No offense taken. By no means a Rockefeller or a Bezos' but I want a truck and did my research to land on this vehicle. My goal is to pay for it upon delivery. More deep breathing and Pickleball to deal with my aggression may be what is needed.
Ordered the RR the day the order banks opened. Super excited then and still believe it will be a great vehicle. Engine woes (valves), unknown timing (UAW/Supply chain) are taking the air out of the room. I waited 15 months for my Shelby in 20 and understand what Covid did to the process...
Ford made their 7th offer, the most rich so far. Also see this on FA.... 2024 Ford Ranger Production Down Sharply In September 2023 (fordauthority.com)
Went with Iconic Silver for the reason of interior and exterior contrast. Would love Rapid Red if they made it but the clash with the orange would bug me. The blue with the orange had me thinking Denver Bronco's.... So Iconic Silver it is. Also couldn't do white do to the work truck look.
Ordered a Shelby GT500, Maverick XLT FX4 Ecoboost and now a Ranger Raptor; all before even sitting in one. First two have been great and expect the Ranger Raptor to be my next daily driver.
Can't wait to get my hands on mine. I wonder how good the exhaust pipes are and could you polish then to a high gloss? Then Ceramic coat them and enjoy the look. JP
Agree with your assessment above! Had the exact same thoughts - orange accents vs. exterior color etc. I'll most likely keep it clean and won't mod the exterior except for lighting.
Here is the Shelby.
but Ruby Red is awesome in all lights. Just ask an owner of a Rapid Red GT500 and an 03 Redfire Cobra..... Red rocks. Can't do HPR - too Orange for this guy.
Went with Iconic Silver due to the contrast and the code orange interior highlights. To me -and i haven't seen this in person - reminds me of baby sh*% brown.... Root beer is a good descriptor
My spec but without the digital graphics and bead locks. After ceramic coat it's going to look amazing. Did it to my son's Maverick and very happy with the results. Vette and Roush are my buddies.
Given Ford's need to focus on quality and initial quality to help brand the new 6G Ranger in a good light I could see them starting out slowly and building up once Q thresholds are met.
Have a good dealer relationship, put my name in 18 months ago when this was being released elsewhere. I've purchased a GT500 and a Maverick from the same dealer. Honest, small town Midwest.
mine ordered it as stock because that's the program now, once serialized they will assign it to me. Our deal is at sticker. my 3rd vehicle from this dealer. Shelby GT500, Maverick and eventually a Raptor....
