We may have been pushed to 2023

The 22's and beyond will be coveted....until that gets stopped in its tracks by the rollout of the Braptor v-8.

IDK. Seem to lots of issues if squeezing a V8 in, from shock towers, to more weight/lower MPG to production line constraints.

They didn’t even opt to go to the 3.5L when the original F150Raptor was finally stepping up to a V8 (a body/line already V8 capable)…..after 12 years.

with the way the winds are blowing maybe we’ll see an E~Braptor first? Hope I’m wrong

I really really really really doubt Ford would have spent so much development time, retooling for the hundreds of Raptor specific bits (it’s barely a Bronco anymore) and management time and expense on the Bronco Raptor for a single model year run of ~3000 vehicles. It makes no sense economically.

There will be Braptor until there isn’t a Bronco. Heck I’m more concerned there will be a Bronco Sport Raptor than a single model year!

What is somewhat attractive about MY22 is that there will likely be a lot less of them than subsequent model years even if they build all they promised this year. Thus they may be a somewhat rarer MY and the first year is also a novelty.

Was a little Tongue and cheek, I'm sure your right but hey stranger things have happened I never thought I'd wait over two years for a vehicle either!!

How are you guys tracking your orders? My dealers says everything is on track.....whatever that means. Are there any suggestions for making your dealer more for you than against you? I know the dealers hope you don't buy your order so they can do a big markup.
Thanks RRB

Not my dealer. They're excited to get me the product at MSRP, since I've been waiting for over 2 years.

We might have the same dealer: MSRP, no add-ons, good communication, no games!

Good news.
I imagine it will push out 5 times, like my MY2022 Bronco did. But hey it is progress. "build week of 10/17/22. Waiting to get my VIN from the sales guys. This info was via ford performance chat

 

[Tantz]

Placed my dealer order on March 23 and just got my VIN on Sunday. Build date scheduled for the week of 10/10 - 10/17. Dealer assured me that model year will not change from 2022 so some positive news on my end.

[Tantz]

No, I'm in the US.

 

[Fukinstoned]

No, I'm in the US.

Damn it… oh well 😂 our order banks opened much later than the US but watching everyone go through the highs and lows of their orders is killing me LOL

 

[JohnGalt]

No, I'm in the US.

If you don’t mind, what’s last 4 numbers (approximately) on your VIN? Trying to see how many Raptors they’ve scheduled to build as we come to MY22 close.

I was originally scheduled in July for 8/22 bbuild now sitting on 10/3 build week, with VIN in mid 1600 range

 

[Tantz]

last 4 digits are in the mid 2500 range

 

[JohnGalt]

2600 for me. Oct 17th build week.

 

[JohnGalt]

2600 for me. Oct 17th build week.

Thanks. It appears they’ve been adding a lot of Raptors in the schedule the last few weeks. Congrats!
