I love the defense of, "You think this is bad. Hold my beer and look how bad the Bronco went." They try and defend a poor launch by Ford by pointing to other examples of poor launches by Ford. 🤷

Said another way... "If Ford really wanted their business, they would've offered Push Button Start on a $35,000+ truck."

I beg to differ. Interest rates and higher living expenses are a big reason people aren't picking up their vehicles. That and "buyers remorse" when the vehicle finally arrives after all those months/years waiting and the customer no longer wants to spend $1000/month on a Bronco.

I waited 8 months for my '22 F-350 and there are still models with constraints that can't be ordered today. People waiting three years for a Bronco proves my point, not yours. People paying $10-30k over MSRP for a Raptor is because Ford isn't making enough of them and demand exceeds supply...

I cancelled because the Raptor isn't the right truck for me, not because of the wait. I have three new Ford's in my garage, all custom ordered and all took 6+ months to get here. I'm obviously willing to wait for what I want, but the Raptor isn't it. I want a Tremor with a 2.7L (proof that I'm...

Refer to Post #2 🤣 PS. My Raptor, which I was getting at MSRP, was scheduled last week. I cancelled it because it's not what I want. My point is that it's not that I'm waiting for a toy, I'm just not a fanboy trying to justify poor performance because of loyalty to a massive corporation (which...

Kind of hard to think of a worse defense of Ford than to say, "It's only been six months. On the Bronco and Maverick, some guys had been waiting for three years." Doesn't that prove how inept they've really been lately on parts and production management?

Be careful. Ford can do no wrong here, remember

There doesn't have to be. It will come eventually, I'm sure of it.

I covered it in another thread, but it isn't the right truck from me and I confirmed that to myself last weekend hunting sheep in the desert. My 2019 FX4 was so awesome in the sand that I know I don't need the Raptor. I'm looking for a trail rig (not a Baja truck) that can carry a full payload...

My dealer told me last night my Raptor got scheduled and I will get my email today or tomorrow. I told him to give it to somebody else. I'm waiting for a Tremor with the 2.7L.

Possibly, only time will tell. My current Ranger with the Ford Performance lift and taller KO2s and a shell loaded with gear got 20.5mpg over 831 miles on our trip last weekend. That's driving there and back and the rest of the time on trails hunting sheep. We won't know how that compares to...

👍 I'd like a Tremor, when Ford gives us one. I can make my own Tremor-esque truck with Ford Accessories and aftermarket parts when they're available as well

The driving experience is undoubtedly different, but I'm looking for a truck that can do what I want it to do. I know probably a dozen guys with F150 Raptors and not one has been rallied Baja-style.... most are pavement princesses. My trucks aren't pavement princesses, but I don't Baja either...

This post isn't directed towards anybody in particular, so I'm going to start this by saying, "Please don't get offended if you and I don't want the same truck. It's not personal, it's just that we have different desires for our vehicles. My opinions aren't meant as an attack on anybody else; we...

My wife's Bronco Sport has paddle shifters. I've never felt the need to use them though.

What items are exclusively available on Ranger Raptor? - Front locking differential - 4A transfer case - 3.0L engine What other items are currently 100% unavailable except on Ranger Raptor? What am I missing?

There's no conspiracy theory. I say they know the numbers and won't release them. You know darn well that's true. That's the extent of my "theory." If the numbers were good for Ford, there's no reason they wouldn't be touting how popular the truck was, a la Tesla bragging about their orders...

They release outstanding Ranger orders for a reason, they must feel it benefits them. They could release RR orders if they wanted to. They make the rules and for some reason they release certain model numbers, but not others. They either want RR sales kept from the consumers or the...

Can anybody give us a real reason to exclude Raptor from those numbers? Ford is either embarrassed by the construct of the numbers/demand, or trying to give RR some level of special invincibility by differentiating it from the rest of the Rangers. Either way, they're playing games.
