I think you're on target here. I'm sure they're trying to balance out 2023 Broncos before they start churning out Rangers in numbers. I'm suspecting we won't see serious scheduling until that's done. A few orders will dribble out, but probably not many.
It would be nice if when you got your email from Ford, it would tell you if your dealer had allocation or not. Something like, "We got your order, but it won't be scheduled until your dealer has allocation. If they said they did, they lied." Both dealers where I have Raptor orders (One Retail...
I guess it depends on which model Tacoma. From what I understand, the models delayed until next year are the Hybrids, not the standard models. So that means no TRD PRO or Trailhunter, but that models like the TRD Offroad, Limited, etc.. will likely start shipping in October. Toyota's model...
I was able to put in an order a month ago. Hopefully there will be an allocation for the dealer, but Ford did acknowledge the retail order and take my deposit.
Well, that was my Ranger. I loved everything about the truck, except for the narrow bed. I do lots of projects and I was getting very irritated with the inability to move 4 foot sheets of anything. Also, my four wheeler wouldn’t fit in well. Right when they used car market was heating up I...
Retail order banks opened for Ranger Raptor last week. I put one in with my regular dealer and got confirmation from Ford. I have the #2 stock order at another dealer. I'll probably end up eating a deposit if I cancel one, but it's not much.
From what I understand, they don't build these in batches. You could easily have a Raptor between to XLs on the same line. I'd imagine the first Raptor batch was mostly Stock and Promotional vehicles. The real scheduling probably starts on 7/20. I don't think the numbers are high. They...
Yes, I got the same answer. Well, that's only part of the story. I had one dealer tell me they had allocation of 5 and that I was #2 in line and it wouldn't be a problem. I placed the order with him and had to take Black because they already supposedly put in the order. Didn't hear from them...
I just wonder how many dealers will call and tell us that we can now put in a retail order. I called my regular dealer on Wednesday when the dealer where I have my stock order wasn't answering me. They had been promising me their stock order, but that never happened. I was able to put in a...
Got a call from my regular dealer today who supposedly didn't get a stock allocation that I could put an order in retail. I feel like they were pushing me off until they could do retail. I do have a stock order in at another dealership, but I'm number 3 and didn't get to pick my color. I feel...
My son used to be an engineer at Ford. He just talked with his old manager. He doesn't work in that department, but was able to schedule a RRaptor for himself on a Management lease. You can't get one of those leases if allocations are tight, so I think you're right.
I have a standard width garage and I can get my 21 F150 in with my wife's 2022 Ascent. I have to back in and really tuck in against the wall. 360 cameras help with that a lot, and the RR will have that. Also, power fold mirrors. My 2019 Ranger fit with no issues (still backed in and tucked...
I mean, it could be that they could've changed it. They asked me what colors I wanted, and I told them Silver or Black. They had a Black ordered so I didn't press. Could be they ordered what they thought would sell best and don't want to change that in case I flake out. Or they could be...
I think so too. This whole idea that each dealership gets 1 makes absolutely no sense to me... specially knowing that my regular smaller dealership got none (I've been promised their stock allocation for months, but they keep saying the system won't let them order it. Been doing business there...
Well, I hope you're wrong. I don't know if the allocation was for the single dealership, or the total dealerships they have across NE Ohio, which is 5. I called on Wednesday and pressed them and they said my order was accepted and they expect a VIN and scheduled production date in the next...
I don't know if that's the case. Autonation here in Ohio swears they got an allocation of 5. My regular dealer didn't get any. I think it depends. According to Long McArthurs there's only 1800 in the order banks and they're not taking stock orders anymore. They can build 1800 vehicles...
I know I'd have walked if they tried to hit me with an ADM. I do have a signed sales agreement with the price, but if they try to pull a fast one I'll be walking over to the Toyota dealer.
