2024 F150s haven't received OKTB so they aren't shipping yet either.
not shipping any 24 Full size 150's, just go to any dealer and look at the sea of F150 on their lots, the dealers will go crazy if the 24's arrive before they get a chance to move more of the sitting 23's.
as it is there are already giant discounts on the 23's, 10K is offered with a bottle of water as you walk in the door.

My Ranger Raptor was produced this week. Tracker status stuck as in production. However dealer access shows March 27th eta and that it has been built.

I'm thinking the rumor that the oktb and shipping won't happen until the media event is likely accurate, not just a rumor.

Crossing my fingers it's here by April 1 and not sitting for months.

My thoughts are very different. I believe the delayed launch is related to the current sales environment. High interest rates, and need to sell F150s as a priority. There are are to many in stock. But keep this in perspective. Quality is important and is part of the story too. I know of a number of folks on this group who have dropped their ranger order for something else.. Some can't wait any longer.
They don't care about that at all. The hold ups are quality control as Farley is making that a huge priority now as bad quality has plagued ford and their profits and reputation big time.

He doesn't want more product launches with quality issues to occur, yet again.

They don't care at all what rates are, etc. No bearing on them and they have contracts with the uaw for guaranteed production numbers they must achieve.

Once oktbs are given you'll see 2024 f150s and Rangers showing up on lots.

Finally! But they actually need to put 25K discounts on to bring the value into line. They ( the industry got so far ahead of people's ability to pay). If that means selling stripped down models in the 60K range then so be it but not many can afford 100K for an F150
They aren't going to cut the profit out of their trucks and prices on everything have skyrocketed. They'll heavily incentivize 2023s but 20k off etc is a pipe dream. They aren't going to lose thousands of dollars on each truck just so you can afford one.

The prices you are seeking are way since past and will never be seen again.

Further.. midsized trucks have topped $60k now.. everything is expensive.

Go price a Toyota tacoma. They've gone up over $10k on some models.

Housing building prices for a new house have gone up over $100/sq ft in our area in 5 years.

Well actually they already have.. They are losing 60K per Mac-E And they will do the same with trucks over time if they must.

Yea the housing thing- It will either drop back or be a long time before they go forward again. 15 year cycles usually.

They will not take a loss on trucks, they would go out of business. They can afford to take a loss on EV since it's a small part.

You don't understand business. That's their profit center, they won't and can't lose money on trucks. Not happening!!
