Ranger order date moved up?

[Loudpa]

My understanding was that 2026 Rangers builds were beginning in Jan 2026. My first build notice even stated that the build would begin the week of 1/19/2026.
However I just received a message from Ford stating that the build is in progress but they encountered delays.

Wondering if these dates provided to me make sense?

Got sane message today and my Ranger Raptor has been assigned a vin. Dealer is hoing to look into this tomorrow.

I figured the assembly line was done due to Christmas for a week or two.

I'm assuming it's some sort of automaton mistake, not an actual update, but we'll see.

I asked my dealership about this and they stated all on track for a 1/20/2026 build.

Mine said it was built but not yet shipped. Which obviously isn't true, but funny nonetheless.

They might have just finalized your order and issued the window sticker. If they did, and it appears at https://www.windowsticker.forddirect.com/windowsticker.pdf?vin=<insert_vin_here>, that should have the blend date at the top.

My window sticker isn't yet viewable, I think it was just a glitch.

Great tip, didn't know one could retrieve a window sticker like this

Not worth worrying about.

My window sticker populated tonight. Blend date of 1/ 23

My window sticker populated also, blend of 1/23. Unfortunately either my dealer or ford screwed up the order and put a 2.3l instead of the 2.7l. I will not be accepting this, they can keep it...Good job whoever screwed the pooch, keep up the good work.
