True, I do go over some explanation of features and point out a couple things missing from the order guide as well as tips and suggestions on ordering.
Raptor allocations are given monthly. When they are assigned to a dealer, the dealer is asked to give their Sales and Inventory Manager the order number of the order they want to select for that allocation. The rest of the Raptor orders will stay in the order system until they have another...
We don't know the formula For plans to use yet for Ranger Raptor. Ranger is based on Ranger sales volume based on other dealer in your region. More than likely Ranger Raptor will be some mix of Ranger and F-150 and/or Bronco Raptor sales.
You can place an order but if the dealer doesn't have an allocation, it will not get scheduled for production. Allocation is required to schedule the order.
Raptor allocations aren't guaranteed by a certain timeframe except that round 1 allocations should be scheduled in 2023 calendar year. Round 2 will probably be honored/scheduled in the 2024 calendar year. 24MY production runs from August 2023 through November 2024.
