I Got an Email

[Slyder]

Guys don’t plan on having your ranger any time soon. Let’s say your Raptor was built in January and you live in Western state. What I experienced in my Bronco order it took 2 months after it was built to reach Denver rail yard then be delivered to Wyoming. So your most likely looking at March if your built in January depending on where you live. Just something to think about for rail shipping time varies and your truck could sit before it’s picked up for rail.

I'll also add that with the memo stating Q1 shipping of RRaptors (Jan - Mar), plan for a late March delivery time-frame and be pleasantly surprised if it arrives sooner.

The fact that Ford is buckling down on quality (or at least trying to) things could pop, so if your truck (RRaptor or one of the other trims) does get built in Jan, it may not show up at the Dealer until March or later. Those of us that endured the whole Bronco circus know this all too well.

I hope it wasn't a misprint and they really mean 1st quarter 2025. I waited almost 2 years for a Bronco before I threw in the towel.

I got mine too. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

While a canned response is not a ticklish as a notice of being scheduled - I was quite happy and excited to receive it yesterday.

Not Sure how much they are buckling down quality. One of the guys from work just bought a F150 and after having it for a week he stepped on the running board and it swayed or moved on him. Took it to the dealer and they said the rear bolts were not installed at the factory. Said the holes didn't even line up. In his case they skipped the buckle down on quality part.

Got the same email. I heard that many Bothans died to bring us this information.

On a more serious note, this is going to make me sound like a critical and selfish customer, I wish they had sent an email about the delay 60 days ago. I call my clients all the time just to tell them "Hey, I haven't heard anything" and it's shocking how appreciative they are to hear nothing new.

I know very little about the car business. Maybe that's something my dealer should've have done instead of Ford.

Careful, that led to cancel culture. We don't want any cancellations!

Some do. The canned response is an attempt by Ford to keep customers in the loop, albeit an impersonal one. Unfortunately, a lot of times most of the dealers know less than we do on this forum. Doesn't mean they can't reach out, just means they could learn a thing or two from your business ethics.

It's kind of funny how I know more about the Ranger Raptor than my local Dealer, where my order is at, and their Region rep.

The sad part is, I'm #2 on the list and the #1 person hasn't had their order scheduled as of yet. I can pray they get chosen in next weeks scheduling, but it's unlikely they will.

The even more sad part is my Dealer is a small local one and they are most likely not going to get many allocations.

I could be wrong, since they've received 4 Bronco Raptors this year, but we still don't know the allocation formula for the Ranger Raptor, so it's anyone's guess.

I got the same mail for my RR, I’m not in a hurry if they fix the flat tow issues I’ll buy it if not we’ll see how much they knock off the price.

What Flat tow issue?

What Flat tow issue?

I ordered mine to flat tow. (all wheels down) behind our motor home. The Ranger Raptor can not be flat towed at all, so it would have to be trailered. I believe all 2024 Rangers with full time 4x4 have the same issue
