I really want this Raptor thatās been sitting there (likely outside, rusting) for nearly a month, built ⦠I mean, uh, āin productionā, but I definitely side with the Union workers here. Theyāve been getting a raw deal from what Iāve been reading.
This! And trying to run these tires significantly above their limits is *likely not the best idea*.
I do agree that Iād expect the numbers to be higher, but theyāre not surprising based on the results weāre seeing from the mags.

I've been waiting for these to start showing up - actual real reviews that feel like less promo / puff pr pieces, and actually have more of an comparisons of the two trucks. As a present...
Thanks for posting these. Exciting to see how red it can look in certain lights. Definitely took a flier on this color, but feeling good
You and me both! Ship these things Ford! And to the OP, b how about some driving impressions / thoughts?
Pretty much nothing I can add that hasnāt already been shared, but we made the call to go for a Wrangler with a Sky One Touch top as well ⦠that Bronco I ordered was no where to be seen and while not my original plan, here we are 4K miles later and this thing has given our family more fun...
Similar, yet different from the chat today. 8/18 blend. āIn productionā still, but chat confirmed that it is ālisted as produced, however it has not been released for shipping yet. I do not see any holds on it.ā
He then went on to say that mydelivery window of 9/5 - 9/11 would likely get...
Same situation for me. No two sources align. I am definitely not holding my breath. Hopeful, yes itāll actually show up in the next two weeks, but based on how this process has gone thus far, yeah⦠weāll seeā¦
Iāve not reached out to Ford Performance in pretty much forever, but figured Iād give it a try today.
They show it as āproducedā with no other info and an ETA of 9/4-9/10.
the tracker just shows āIn productionā still. No word from my dealer.
Not sure how that math can work, but we shall seeā¦...
Iām really, really enjoying mine and glad I put in the order. Iāve had a lot of different vehicles and this one definitely makes me smile more than any Iāve had before. Is it perfect? Heck no. Is it a freakin riot, stupid fast, and exceptionally capable? Yes
Now if Ford would just ship...
So does it just stay at "In Production" now in the various trackers https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking/status/?vin= and https://www.ford.com/buy/manage.html?reservationId= ? Blend date was 8/16 and 763 BCE modules popped last Thursday. So now it just stays "in production" right? Does...
Mine just got built and was a GT with June 23rd build date originally⦠with a vin in the mid 500ās, not that that seems to matter all that much. Now my ā22 will wait outside somewhere in Michigan. :sleep: Rest well my orange friendā¦
So back in March when as a GT holder I was fortunate enough to place an order for a BRaptor, they were still offering the "Raptor" sticker on the rear quarter and I was all about it. It broke up the that big bit of side meat that makes up the rear quarters and well I liked 'em. Then I got the...
I am definitely enjoying these real reviews and drive updates (finally), but dang, the engine ... My blend date is today, and I love the sound and get up and go of our 392XR. It is just intoxicating. Bummer we won't have that in the BRaptors where it looks to own everywhere else.
I was pretty excited to see an email from Ford yesterday, but it was just telling me that my build was pushed to the week of 8/15 from 8/8. But then, excitement when today the order app actually looked different and low and behold after 5 date changes theirs a blend date (8/16) and a window...
I appreciate marketing and selling the dream. Isn't that all that marketing in this segment does anyway?
Still very excited about our BRaptor order that should be built next week. Sure has been a while since 7/14/20. Hardly even feels real! You know what is real? We presently have 3k miles...
Every time I see one of these vids or pics of this dust mountain or that, I think how careful I am to garage my cars (now that I have a garage). Maybe itās good that itāll know how good it has it when mine finally arrives. :)
And thatās not that many BRaptors considering how many Broncos...
