They're all intermingled and they don't just tool up to build one specific model. since the Bronco models are built on the same line.
I think the only one that may require something is the Bronco Raptor, since it has 37's and is wider than all the rest. They put smaller wheels & tires on it to get it down the assembly line, if I remember correctly.
IIRC they leave the suspension collapsed until it gets through the stations with low clearance and then they finish assembly at the end.

By all accounts it sounds like there weren't that many orders put in, fingers crossed all of us get scheduled this week. I'm guessing that's when VIN's are assigned?
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 don't want to get my hopes up that I'll be driving my Raptor this year, but its hard not to!

Long McArthur video is out. He says Ford already asked them what order number they want to schedule for their 1 allocation. Scheduling is Thursday. Looks like we will find out soon who amongst us are the lucky ones.

*Mouth breathing intensifies*

Well if you'll excuse me now I have a couple of chickens and goats to sacrifice I believe I know a particular type of rain dance that brings luck and I'm going to go tomorrow evening and do a few hours at a soup kitchen serving homeless one-armed kids.

I think I may be able to squeeze in a few runs to the blood donation bus.

Yeah unfortunately looks like it. But who knows, maybe they will schedule more sooner than Q4.

Interestingly, they said that scheduling only happens on Thursdays. At least it's only 1 day a week I need to lose sleep. 😂

Someone inside the MAP knows the real deal. It can’t be that big of a secret? It would seem the information regarding which Rangers they plan to produce in the first run would make its way to the general public.

I'm pretty sure they have and the reason they're playing dumb is because it was promised to someone already or they're just going to stick it on the lot once it arrives and let the bidding war begin.

That or they are just dumb… in either case it is very disappointing.

Yup, or their first unit is going to the owner's son, an employee, etc. Basically, they aren't willing to burn their first allocation on you, so time to move on.
