My dealership just texted me and told me my Ranger Raptor is scheduled to be build on the 26th of February. Fingers crossed nothing happens. Little soon then the estimated time of March.
Congrats! Seems like you might have been scheduled for a few weeks. The Feb scheduling already happened and the current march round isn't scheduling for Raptors anymore.

I had to contact Ford directly through the chat to get my build date. I don't think Ford is keeping the dealers very well informed. Mine is scheduled for March 25th.

Ford is doing a horrible job keeping the dealers informed!

yes that would be the week of Feb 26, same week as I have, but big news yesterday!
The customer Relations Agent informed me that my actual build day assigned is Feb 27,
and that is the day t will be built. She also advised me that all parts are reserved for the build on that day, it will not be pushed out to another date, that is so reassuring since my truck includes the chrome package and there has been very limited availability of the chrome package and that has been causing chrome package vehicles to not get build dates.
I have purchased dozens and dozens of cars and trucks in my life and only ordered a handfull which includes my 2023 Ranger, can't believe how consumed I am in this process, is it because ford has created "you want it well you have to wait" usually I decide make model color and just go and find it, I ordered this 24 just after getting my 23, same color same truck just 1 year newer and $10,000 price increase, how bright is that?

is that week of March 25? or is the actual date assigned March 25, if you have an actual build date instead of week of you are in great shape and probably will not be changed or pushed further out

Understood. It is scheduled for the week of March 25th so it very well might slip. Thanks!

They don't schedule to the day. They only schedule to a certain week.

As much as it sucks, even if it got built tomorrow, they aren’t releasing them until March anyway. Mine is currently sitting in their holding lot. It will be built March 4th and then receive it a week or two later.

You’ll probably get it the week after your scheduled build date. When I spoke to ford chat after my build date of 1/22, he said the delivery will be between 1/25 and 1/31 with the latter being a normal eta. Obviously that isn’t happening due to ford holding them until after this press event.

well yes, I was scheduled for the week of February 26, I called on Monday to see if there was any further information and the gentleman in customer relations said let me check, I was wondering how certain or not the truck would be built that week, he came back on and said we have a build day of February 27 and that means all the parts that are needed are in stock, and available for the build date of February 27, but I don’t know I don’t work for Ford, but he does.
he sounded like an experienced knowledgeable guy as opposed to some very young customer service person.
