So again do most of us who were previously scheduled feel it is safe to assume that if you already had a build date and non beadlock wheels that you are good to go with no further changes?

I am thinking it is only the vehicles who weren't currently scheduled for production that would require a wheel change to get on the roster.
I guess I should add that my blend date was Monday, I have modules and tear tag but as of a few minutes ago it still showing “in production” when everyone else (non Raptors) seems to be getting “built” and “shipped” notifications.

I was built Tuesday, with mods and tear tag updated Wednesday early morning, but “in production” too. No graphics, no options except for the second row roof bag.

I finally pulled the trigger on buying equipment. When I bought the air compressor yesterday I may have inadvertently jinxed us all…..

I was a March 9, 2022 Raptor order on an allocation and of course got bumped to 23 and had to re-order. I got the notice today that I'm scheduled for a build week of 12/5 in case anyone was in the same boat and tracking orders.

Just got word that my dealer had someone drop their black Raptor and will be coming in soon (dealer told me within the next week). I do not have any clue on the details of price, but if you are willing to try, PM me.

Side note: I tried to see where I could post something like this for the community to see without breaking rules but admin did not respond to me. So sorry in advance.

Has anyone seen the vents close in the raptor grill during a cold start? I’m assuming it’s to warm up the engine faster. My wife was standing in front of our Bronco Raptor when I started it and asked “what did I do….” She said the vents closed and was wondering what button I pushed. I said all I did was push the button to start it….

"Active Grill Shutters" aka AGS. Ford has been using them on their ecoboost engines for a while. They also provide aerodynamics although I think not having them is better.

Yes, the tracker still shows “in production”

My sales rep texted yesterday saying they were showing it as “Produced”.

I don’t have a Ford-speak dictionary, so I’m not sure if there is a difference between “produced” and “built”, but I’m guessing that “produced” may mean “off the line” and “built” may mean “Ford manufacturing is done touching it”.

I have this vision of all the latest base wheel Raptors sitting in a parking lot with no spare tires, so they can “produce 25% more vehicles” in a wheel constrained situation (based on latest constraint rumors).

But maybe that’s my paranoia talking! But with Ford and Broncos anything is possible.

Oh and I ordered my winch and calendared my ppf at the installer, so we’re really, really screwed now. 🤪

Lol, so you’ve received zero email? How is everyone else (non Raptors)getting email updates “built/shipped” but both of us with Raptors are not...f’ing Ford 😂

Edit

Just called Ford performance and the guy told me the same thing “produced.” So I said it’s built and he said “well, it’s showing produced.” He wouldn’t say that it was built, just kept saying “produced”

I never received any emails on being built or shipped, but the tracker did adjust when those occurred. Hoping you both get some updates soon.

Every "level" of status has its frustrations as I'm sure you know. "Released/Awaiting Shipment" is the next gauntlet for you to go thru, and I was in that boat for roughly 6 weeks. Excuses focused on the lack of rail cars, rail workers, and also due to embargoes on sections of road out of service on the way to California. Who really knows...

Now I've been officially Shipped, but at nearly 2 weeks into the rail shipping process, my rig has only gone from MAP to the major rail junction at Blue Island, IL. Every time I think I'm getting somewhere, it drags out ad infinitum. Oh and my delivery ETA has moved to the right twice.

MAYBE our rigs will just show up tomorrow out of the blue, but I doubt it...
