spicy way to start the morning…

They probably will hit the Mustang and F150 last. Everybody loves a bit of drama.

I'm not disagreeing, the RR is great value for money looking at the other 3.0EB offerings, is incredibly cool. But, and this is only my opinion, the majority of people who want one are on this forum, already with an order in. Once our initial buys are finished and dealers start stocking them on...

This still makes me laugh. Dealers who think the demand for the Ranger(and even the Raptor) will be remotely near that of the Bronco to justify that sort of mark up are off their rocker. 5, maybe 10 grand for those that are clearly chomping at the bit, maybe. The Ranger has 2 years of...

casually throwing out that you’ve got Boss 9 royalty in your garage…

I'm still living in la la land where we'll get a Raptor R in a few years with a n/a Dark Horse motor

They've likely already had strike training by now. When the IAM contract came up, any engineer with over a year's tenure was cycled through gap training in about a months time. Watercooler politics aside, a strike will give opportunity for the engineers to understand the shortcomings of the...

I'm glad they went this route. There's so many DI engines with coking issues. The Alfa QV engine added dual injection and it didn't just fix that issue but it opened up a lot more options for power capability. If Gen1 Explorer ST engines are doing what they're doing now with a single set of...

I really hope they release Raptor compatible body-color camper shells. Australia’s got some cool aftermarket units but I doubt they’d ship them out this way.

what makes a smart cap a smart cap other than branding? Does it come with power windows?

Me(aerospace manufacturing engineer), and my roommate(IAM member coworker) have been laughing at this thread all day

Not so much mechanics as it is business. Domestically, they earn more money on an XLT F series than a Lariat Ranger. The Ranger will never sell in F150 numbers. With the scaled production capacity, investment in tooling/training/etc., they don’t want to sacrifice market share. They’re...

I expect low 10’s on the 4x4 2.7… because you know… midsize truck ≠ fuel efficiency nowadays.

@jedadiah @Wisdumb What's the size of the dealers yall ordered from? Are we talking an auto mall or a local mom & pop single lot?

@norway32 Thanks for the clarification! I guess the revised question is: did anyone in late July get scheduled?

Order #2200. August 11. Nearly every option. I know I’m not seeing it for a while. My dealer kept me at arms length despite written confirmation that I was their first order to submit. Just out of curiosity, is there anyone over #1800 who’s got a build date?

The US definitely has multiple options/models/trims yet to be seen for the Ranger but it may be a while. It’s the bridge between the Mav and F150 so my OCD would like it to split the difference of everything. Maverick has 3 trims with a Tremor package and 2 drivetrains; 8 F150 trims with a...

I’d really like to see the tan leather. A 2.7 with the lighter inside is going to be a rarer option combo if the 5G trends indicated anything.

I feel really stupid for not making that connection. That makes complete sense.

If that’s the case, can y’all Aussies to do as many burnouts as possible to test the limits of that tune?
