Did I awaken from a Ranger Raptor fever dream?

[rwolfcastle]

I swear I had been following a thread all weekend about someone getting to ride in the new RRaptor but now I can't find it anywhere. Did Ford request it be taken down or something?

You're not crazy, yet.

Unfortunately it had to be removed.

OP's Request. But it was a nice tease for what's to come and at least we know they're really out there.

WHAT?!?!? COME ON!

great while it lasted. now if you could just tell us the launch date and order guide date that would be wonderful. Seriously, that post made my weekend. Embargo'd content for now I'm sure. I got to drive a Shelby GT350 R courtesy of a Ford buddy and I knew not to post a word given where it was in the "cycle". As my friend Tom Petty says, "The waiting is the hardest part".

I was fully expecting this to happen... No way Ford was OK with this info being out there prior to the official reveal

My guess is he’ll never get a second ride and the guy who had access and let him take photos might not either.

What sucks is, we are literally waiting just for the announcement. Then we have to wait for the ordering, then we have to wait for the build date, then we have to wait on the inevitable delays. When you think about it, it's quite staggering how much longer we still will be waiting.

You'd think an uncamouflaged production vehicle on public roads would have been fully approved by the brass...if not, someone really blew protocol...

Their friendship could be strained now.

They both might want to seriously consider the offer Ford gave them last week.

My guess it was a marketing carrot dangled in front of us by Ford. Posted and removed by design.

You've obviously never had a Bronco order have you? If you did this is a piece of cake!

Haha luckily I was never in the market for a Bronco. But I could only imagine the pain.
