Can’t see the fenders, the flares are in the way…. 😭 Seriously, the idea of retractable steps has some appeal, but the OEM steps appear to provide a lot of body protection day to day. I’m sticking with OEM until I confirm they don’t sound like a xylophone in gravel. I’m more focused on a...

I’ve been tracking MAP production less US, Can and Max sales, less US reported inventory (gross Stocks) and a guess at Canada and Mexico inventory (one month sales as a guess). Using Fords numbers (with minor estimates) through July 22, there appears to be about 8300 missing (produced, not...

True, and the Navigator too, last I knew….but when I made that comment I was assuming Ordertrack would continue to use the first 6 places in the VIN, which position 5/6 as “EJ”would make it a Bronco and thus position 8 as “L” a Raptor. You’d also have to assume the first three places were...

It would certainly isolate the Raptors with ‘5J”. “R” in position 8 would do the trick too!

Thanks. We have the same VIN beginning. So similar apparently means: ALL broncos who have had their VIN entered into Ordertrack. So about all one can maybe infer is that if the number jumps suddenly, there was a scheduling event, if it grows slowly there may be production delays, if it drops...

Thanks this was helpful, gives me a better understanding now. I read a similar very long thread that wasn’t helpful at all

Interesting, I’ve learned from reading the suggested thread that this figure only includes those that have put their VIN in the app. Not all Broncos, so we’re dealing with a subset. The app initially used first 6 digits in VIN to define “similar”. But I would think that a Raptor VIN position...

Do you or anyone else know what constitutes “similar vehicles in your status”? All Raptors? All Raptors that match some criteria as mine? All Broncos scheduled the same week, batch, day or other? I’ve watched this grow slowly over the last few weeks from 412 on July 15 when I first was...

This is the confusing part so many different explanations and experiences…. My understanding from my dealer was that they can set priority 10-19. Priority 1 - 9 ( of which I have only seen mention of 1 and 2) are set by Ford regional or scheduling depending on what I’ve read. My dealer was...

Based on my experience and too much thread reading….. The GT doesn’t give you any special priority as evidenced by the mix of GTs and dealer allocations scheduled initially (back in April) and subsequently produced/rescheduled. To me it’s unclear how Ford chooses, but GTs don’t have absolute...

Nice to see posts consistently about the Braptors actually getting built instead of schedule pushes since MAP came back up. I’m getting more optimistic my build date might hold. Now if they would just start to push them out the gate …..

Sounds about right, Last one on eBay ran up $18k in the last hour and closed at $127k.

Actually totally get why people don’t love the look of the flares. But for me, the flares can take a beating on mountain/forest trails that would hammer painted surfaces. As currently constructed all the pretty painted bits are no (not much) wider than typical Bronco. Since I plan on using...

Why would anyone want to make them less conspicuous? I’m buying a blazing orange, humongous tired, 10 foot tall (okay I’m exaggerating), commercial vehicle width truck. I want dainty flares? No thank you sir! No thank you! That said, everyone should do with their truck whatever they dang...

Yeah, they actually have to push them out the gate, but it should start to snowball once they begin shipping. Local deliveries should start the smiles pretty quickly after that. I’m optimistic (perhaps foolishly so) that they believe they worked out whatever issue has been holding them back...

it’s amazing, I can track $2.99 in sprinkler parts across the country and house by house as it’s delivered on Amazon, but almost no (reliable) telemetry on $50k+ vehicles. But we (Bronco Raptor folk) are not alone, my wife‘s 2023 Defender 110 has been sitting in port in Europe for weeks with no...

I’m actually getting excited…. Any day now we’re going to start seeing picture after picture of smiling faces posed next to their new Bronco Raptors. And hopefully that’s going to mean mine will get built as scheduled,, everyone scheduled that’s waiting and lots more smiling faces. It...

pure conjecture in my part, but… I have to wonder if extra cross bracing on the Raptor interferes with the Installation/operation of the soft top. Otherwise why wouldn’t they offer a two top option?

with that VIN (1961) it’s probably a late august early Sep build week as it’s 400 over my 8/22 build week. no reserve, but starting at $20k over MSRP. They’re not taking much risk of under pricing in an auction. if it sells off line, I gues it’ll be $40-50k+Over MSRP to not let auction run...

While I think this guy might possibly be legit , the whole thing read like the old Nigerian prince seeking help to move $8 million dollarsemail scam. you’ve got to want a Raptor pretty bad to front a stranger $100+k to maybe get a Raptor someday….maybe…. or get your money back…..maybe. Can’t...
