It's all about dealer having an open allocation. The stars were all in alignment when you placed your order.

You may want to check out the Long McArthur Ford YouTube channel. Tim does a great job at explaining Ford's allocation system. He also tells what models are scheduling each week.

Good luck. I get updates every 45 days. Same thing every time, we are working getting your vehicle scheduled. Got tired of waiting, when I found it could be two years before my dealer gets enough allocations to take care of their RR order backlog. No telling where mine falls in the mix. Found...

Financing is simple. I got pre-approved and asked the dealer to match or beat the rate I received from my credit union and bank. I'm selling my car locally so no trade. Shipping came in at $1 per mile. In my case $1100 which they wrapped into the deal. With shipping and doc fees the price was...

I found mine 1100 miles away, I live Houston so I am having it shipped . I tried all the search sites, found mine using Cars.com seems data is more up to date than most. Search nationwide, pick dealerships in rural areas if you can. Ford dealerships in the farming belt seem to offer the best...

I bought a RR today for under MSRP just as it was advertised. No markups or adds. Since I could not get an answer on the extra allocations for the one I have on order since November, I went searching and found one on the ground identical to the one I have on order. You should be able to find...

I ordered a RR Nov 11, 2024. Got tired of waiting with no real date of production. I found one on a out of state dealers lot and bought it. I agree Ford's ordering system is very bad. I say that an ex autoworker, and dealership employee. We never had ordering issues like Ford is experiencing...

Not sure how the VIN related to number of Raptors built. VIN are normally produced consecutively with means Raptors are mixed in with all the other Ranger VINs for other models. This done to track vehicles for possible recalls in the future.

The approach I took was to fully research every pickup out there. Night after night watching every YouTube video on pickups. After many months my wife asked when we could get back to regular TV. She asked when I was going to decide. Toss up between an F150 with a Whipple and the RR. At this...

Most of the radio station broadcast towers are located southwest of Houston. Broadcast signals very strong in the area. You may not even need an antenna. I used to live in the area but now live north of Houston and need antennas to get all the Houston stations. It would be interesting to see how...

You are correct. It answered itself! But it took a test drive in both to come this conclusion. Was afraid the Raptor would not have as good a ride as the Lariat. But as it turns out the Raptor rides better and has more comfortable seats.

Have not seen one in the wild. Saw two on dealer lots. Test drove a black Raptor but wanted a red one. Ended up ordering a Desert Sand 2025, waiting on a build date. Even regular Rangers are scarce. I have only seen one in the wild sitting in a parking lot, none on the road. Why doesn't Ford...

How does a DI head differ from a PI head? If they are different how can they have the same part number? Are you talking about casting numbers instead of actual part number of the finished head? Just asking as I got lost somewhere along the conversation.

There is a system that uses engine vacuum to pressurize a canister full engine oil which releases the oil through out the engine on start up. Simple system

Cranking without start pressurizes the oiling system. This forces oil into the cam phasers so they don't rattle on start up. Not sure if this extends the life of the phasers or not. My Escape rattles on start up and has for the last 200,000 miles. I rarely do a long crack start, only when I'm...

I was able get my RR at invoice, about $2300 off sticker. Dealer expects build date to be May or June. I'm willing to wait to get the RR optioned as I want with no market adjustments or ADMs, dealer installed profits(wax, LoJack, paint protectant, dealership vacation fund, nitrogen filled...

The Lariat is a premium model with price almost equal to the Raptor. So why is 4A not included or a least an option? I ordered a Raptor for this very reason.

Check out Long McArthur Ford in Salina, Kansas. They were selling at invoice for all Ranger Raptors. Check to see if they still are doing invoice pricing. They ship nationwide. I ordered mine from them last November. Expected build date midsummer. I can wait, as I refuse to pay markup.

I never made it to F&I. The OTD always had extra charges. All said they would sell at MSRP? then came the mandatory extras☹️

I ordered my RR 11-12-24. Still hoping I get scheduled soon. My dealer did not receive any allocations this month so waiting for the next allocations to be announced. They did say expect summer delivery when I ordered it. So it's a waiting game. For those looking for a Raptor on the dealer...
