⏳ Bronco Raptor now being scheduled for production & VIN assigned

[Shenanigans]

I decided to take out my anger on Friday a better way. Still Unscheduled- Clean

With you on the USS Unscheduled and Clean but this form of therapy is out of network on my health insurance so all I could do was kick the dog….

Settle down no animals were harmed in the making of this post.

I wonder if Ford is pushing out rail orders before convoy orders to try to get them out before the strike.

The email that I got from SMART (sheet metal, air, rail, and transportation union) last night said they are expecting to strike and it will shut down the railroads, which anything in the rail system will probably be stuck until an agreement is reached. This has been ongoing since April I think, and they have already went through the cool down period that was put on by the government.

I really want this Raptor that’s been sitting there (likely outside, rusting) for nearly a month, built … I mean, uh, “in production”, but I definitely side with the Union workers here. They’ve been getting a raw deal from what I’ve been reading.

Yeah - when I ordered the Raptor, I decided to avoid the extras after never getting the 2 Door, 2.7, Squatch, Tow Badlands commodities debacle. Hopefully you release soon. I'll post up CO beast photos when it finally gets here.

That's my color as well. CO (cyber orange) will be rarer than the "other" CO (code orange) as it turns out. Awaiting shipment still (all holds came off)...estimate is the end of September, but I'm thinking more realistically it will arrive mid-October in SoCal.

Maybe the therapy option is a good idea - time to hit the range and bust some clays.

So, Norfolk Southern says they are planning to begin shutting down on Friday at 00:10. They are closing loading of autos (e.g., at MAP) on Tuesday at 17:00, but will keep the out-gates open at all NS Automotive facilities during normal business hours for car haul carriers to pick up vehicles.

As for me, departed Oakwood this morning. I have no idea if it can get to the auto terminal on my end by Thursday at midnight.

Dang, mine just made it then. Loaded up on Norfolk yesterday.

I'm hoping that the ones going by rail, get to their destination before the strike.
My salesman texted me today that mine should be in within a couple days, even though it doesn't say built on the trackers yet. Mine is coming convoy, and I am about 3 hours from MAP. My Badlands was at the dealer before the trackers even showed shipped.

Per Ford Performance, my last tracking scan was in Flat Rock, MI. Does that mean it’s already been loaded on a train and headed West? Seems it’s left MAP already.

Good Luck. I hope you are successful.

So, (3) Braptors on Ebay today. Two that look like they are delivered and ready to go. Interesting that they put a buy it now price instead of letting them bid with a reserve. Good to see they are starting to show up though.

Good grief, what a shit show Ford is running.
I‘m a Day 1 reservation holder who never received his 2 door Badlands and is still waiting on his Raptor to schedule, meanwhile you’re taking delivery of your second.

I reserved both a 2dr and 4dr early morning on 7/14/20, would have been at launch but site kept crashing. Small local dealer took 2 years 2 weeks, and 1 day to get my 2dr Badlands.

Ya i’m not mad at ya. Just frustrated with Ford. I’ve got another vehicle allocation from another manufacturer that I’ll be happy to throw $85k at if Ford isn’t ready to take my money by then.

Another frustrating thing about this “Golden Ticket” bullshit is that had I stuck with my original 2 door Badlands order, I would have been scheduled by now. Just typing that out has me a little rojo faced.
