Yeah nope either your dealer or you are full of it the 2023 ranger is a 5th gen and the banks are already open as of july 18 the 6th gen is coming to the us as a 2024 model as of now but that may be delayed as well unless you are importing one then you are wasting your money
Then why is it that 2023 banks are open and the 2023 model is a 5th gen I work at a ford dealer and all the info you are giving here is completely false
The op is full of it there is not and never will be any such thing as a us 2023 ranger raptor the order banks for the 2023 ranger have been open for 10 days and it is still a 5th gen the 6th gen is going to be 2024 model year
Dude the uk options are not going to be the same ford doesnt even have any info or specs released for the north america version and as loads of precedent and actual evidence suggests north america vs the rest of the world will look very different this whole thread is just a self aggrandizing lie
only problem is its gonna be a 2024 not a 2023 the 2023 model year is a 5th gen not a 6th gen
If production starts in May 2023, consumers will be driving it in 2023. Whether or not they label it a 2023 or a 2024 is TBD.
Not at all because the 2023 model year order guides and info have already dropped and the banks open tomorrow. Going based on the firm actionable data on the 2023 model not just unsubstantiated conjecture from farley I can almost guarantee that the dates in that sticky thread are wrong. That would have 2023 model having less than 7 months of production which would be ridiculous especially when you consider the work and resources needed to make and implement the tooling and resources for a new generation vehicle. Jim farley has already proven himself an unreliable source just because he is ceo doesn't mean he knows everything, also ford has moved and delayed stuff several times including the 2023 ranger so simply due to that we can expect 2024 to move as well
It can’t be in the Ford system yet, as they haven’t opened up the options. But I’m listed as #1 or #2 at my local dealership (they are going to flip a coin for fun since we both asked to put money down the same day… it makes no difference. They think their first allocation is going to be three trucks, so we are both covered.. Locked in at MSRP at MOST. $1000 fully refundable deposit. The 3.0 twin turbo V6 from the Explorer ST is the engine of choice.
I’ll be happy to track the progress of how it goes as we paddle along over the next four to six months. I’m excited. Right now my heart says to go for the “hero color” at release… orange. Talk me out of it.
I AGREE with this premise.
How long ago was that article released? Several months ago everyone was assuming the 6th gen Rangers would be released as 2023 models. Ford never confirmed that or much of anything else for the 2023 model year for the North American market. At least not until recently. Like within the past two weeks. Andre at TFL Trucks released a youtube video on 8/17/22 in which he stated that he just got confirmation from Ford that all next gen Rangers for the North American market would be released as 2024 models.
Euro emissions standards are different than those for other markets. That's why your power ratings are different. I doubt you can legally alter the computer programming but that would probably be one factor in changing the output. There may be other physical differences as well like more restrictive intake or exhaust systems.
