Assuming an order placed today, when will 2026’s start to be delivered?

Likely late December/early January. Ish.

I read somewhere on here that production will start around Jan 11. If that's the case, probable late February.

Good point. I (well, my wife) decided to avoid the 2026 MY altogether (was going to get a Raptor) due to color choices and paying more for less given Active-X vinyl replacing leather in the 2026 Lariat. I am trying to secure a 2025 Lariat in the color and packages I want now, as the pricing is favorable and the rebates are there. The Supreme Dealer, Farley Ford of Dearbornistan, might be waiting for a full refresh to make major model muscle movements but Ford's better idea rarely includes owner/buyer input. We shall see how 2026 sales pan out. In the meantime, could use more variety in aftermarket MODS/accessories and looking forward to acquiring and driving a Lariat with a V6.

I grew up in Dearbornistan in the 60's when it was all Caucasian Ford engineers on my street. Times have changed there.

My dealer just got a 2026 RR allocation so we submitted my preferences for a retail order. (Shelter Green w/ beadlocks, graphics, and bedliner. Ford est is 12/5/25, I guess we'll see. MSRP went up $1000 from 2025 and the bedliner went up $30.

2026 RANGER RAPTOR


Oreldered mine last week. 2026 Raptor Adds: spray in liner, mudflaps, keyless entry pad, avalanche paint. Msrp $60,245. Invoice: $57,995. Paying invoice.

Will be trading in a 2024 carbonized gray that has probably 6k or more in adds including the Ford tune.

It's extra crazy when you consider how expensive the Ranger already is. Guess Ford still isn't interested in market share unless you're talking F-150.

Have you compared the RR prices vs the Tacoma TRD Pro’s. I would say that the RR prices aren’t that bad.

Curious where you saw an estimate? My confirmation email from Ford just says we'll update you in 45 days.

Dealer sent me their internal view of it. I don't think that's realistic, but who knows.

The bang for buck with the RR is second to none.

Nice price! Went into my nearest dealer to double-check the 2026 changes. He came back and said they have one RR allocated and acted like he was doing me a favor ordering it for me...at $5,000 over MSRP! Told him I'd rather pick up one from another local dealer, in stock and listed $1,000 under MSRP.

I understand about UK, as a Louisville fan. The 2026 Maverick will have Orange Fury Metallic, a Mustang color. Too small a vehicle for me and it just seems cheap. After months of dealing with my regular Ford dealership with no results, I went to another Ford dealer on Saturday and asked what he could do to find me a Ruby Red Ranger Lariat, 2.7L, FX4, Black Appearance, trailer tow. He just emailed me to say he's got two possibilities and will let me know this afternoon if he can get one. I see zero reason to buy a 2026 Ranger unless something just grabs you, if you can find or live with what is out there. 2026 looks like a trim level shell game for more money to me.

Any good news on your new Ranger hunt?
Just curious if your new dealer got one nailed down for you.

Not yet. Got a note yesterday afternoon stating they were working with two other dealers for trade. Told I would know something by last night. Nothing. Sent note this morning asking for update. No response. Salesman could have had the day off. Will see what happens tomorrow. Have doubts but we shall see. Long McArthur is flush with RR. No red, of course.

Yep. I always hear lots of good things about Long McArther, probably a good choice if you decide to go that way.

If I can't get a 2025 through this large Wichita dealer I'm done with Ford. My wife said NO to their black one and desert sand one with same packages I want. I would have ordered a 2026 Ranger Lariat but paying more for Active-X vinyl instead of leather on a supposed luxury truck and messing with the headlights killed that. Not going from an F150 Lariat level with all the bells and whistles to cloth seats and less, either. So the wife is now looking at a Colorado Z71 or ZR2 in of course RED with leather interior. My father owned Chevy trucks. I have never owned one. I set a deadline of mid-November and told her that's it. I'm buying or ordering.

For those ordering and wondering what they'll pay, I'll add mine as well.

$1k off MSRP, no financing required. If I do finance through them, they said they'd do an additional $2k but we'd discuss that when it arrived.
