The Ranger and Bronco are made at MAP in Wayne. Dearborn is the F150 plant. Again they have more than just Raptors to build. Otherwise they wouldn’t have a single allocation per dealer on the most profitable trim.
Wayne can do over 20k per month.
We already have had a thread on MAP’s numbers. At peak, there were about 5k rangers built with an average of 3-4k a month. That’s when all the parts are available and the line is humming and there’s no strike. That is not the case right now. The line starts very slowly. And again, they have other rangers to build. We don’t know how many raptors have been ordered but let’s say 3,000. We know there were about 3k unscheduled non raptor retail orders, that’s rangers with homes already. That isn’t even touching the two biggest pools of rangers which are dealer stock orders (figure 2 or more on order at 3,000 dealerships, that’s 6k-9k) and the fleet and government orders (call it 3k). That means there could be 18k rangers hanging out there of which 3k are raptors. That’s less than 17%. On a line running at limited capacity while training. And once they hit showrooms and people start buying off the lot and the reviews start coming out, orders will increase. Sorry to anyone that isn’t scheduled yet but there are some on this very forum that will be waiting until December or January to get their build date if they have a Job 1 allocation. That’s before we even touch on Job 2 and the incoming 2.7 orders. Don’t give yourself false hope and end up disappointed.
Saw in a separate thead that the total number of regular ranger orders was like 6000 give or take. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. I believe it was in a scheduling thread recently.
Ok, thanks. If that is accurate, I ordered 8/9, if they do get rolling in September and I get scheduled, I could likely see it before year end then…
@fordvideoguy does a weekly update, and current unscheduled orders of Rangers (non-Raptors) was around 2500 units.
I believe that’s retail only. The stock orders would be much higher
I heard that the retail orders are filled first, then stock....
Not true. Ford wants stock orders built so they can put trucks on lots. There are lots of people that won’t buy a truck sight unseen. They want them on lots for the type of folks that are still shopping around.
In August they were still building 2023 models and ending the line to retool for the 2024 models. That number isn’t useful to look at. Parts constraints are hitting every model hard. Every 2024 model that’s come out so far has reduced number of options compared to the outgoing model.
