⏳ Bronco Raptor now being scheduled for production & VIN assigned

[najay]

There have been numerous rumors, they all seem to fade away. They are still scheduling, I've heard of a few today besides myself so there must be fix for whatever it is.

THIS. If there are one or 2 parts that needed to be redesigned ... it makes sense to build everything out and replace them when the parts are manufactured and available.

Check the Ford Bronco Raptors owners page on FB. One guy here works at Ford and just confirmed this issue a few days ago.

That’s the only data point…no confirmation whatsoever. Stop persisting unfounded information. Yeah we’re all frustrated but not to the point of perpetuating Facebook Fake News.

So, IF it was the hood, you would think they would wait to produce so the replacement hood goes through the paint shop with the rest of the body.

IF it was the swingate - I could see them producing and the switching the exoskeleton out when it comes in.

The thing is, unless it is something about how it gets assembled on the line, you would think I both of these problems cropped up during prototype testing or assembly and use of the ones the press drove in Johnson Valley.

Maybe that is why most of us originally scheduled slipped 2-1/2 months, but that timing pretty closely follows the China lock downs, so the wheel / supply chain logic makes more sense.

My opinion is, they would not be building them now if they didn’t have a plan to ship them soon. And they wouldn’t have press info coming out now also. (Levine posted a Bronco Raptor good morning picture on Monday. I was hoping Monday was sign off day …)

Think the most likely explanation is they found something, they know how to fix it, it'll just take time to retrofit all the already built vehicles. Plus I'll say this a third time...the bronco/ranger line manager got fired!

This sounds like a fairly reasonable theory. I wonder if anyone can confirm movement or activity around the already built Raptors that would indicate a retrofit might be taking place? If they are just sitting there with no movement and it is a retrofit then we may still have a long(er) wait. On the other hand, if workers are moving batches of them in and out of MAP buildings for who knows what then it would be evidence in support of the theory.

We need to reply to Levine's post with "still waiting" memes. (not that he can do anything about it, but it is frustrating to see the Raptor posts knowing very little about why we are waiting)

Levine posted a Wildtrack Monday.
Surely the raptors ship this month ??

Well that wasn’t nice. Guess this means mine was moved around.

 

[Tapatio55]

Ha! Mine is still "pending."

OK guys - everyone reply “Mine’s produced: well, we’re waiting…”

The line manager could have gotten fired for grabbing a line worker's ass.

I am not sure why everyone keeps making up shit.

[LethalPerformance]

As of 8/12 our Braptor has been produced!!!

 

[Johnny Mo]

Was just informed by regional rep via dealer that yes I am slated for 22 and as a specialty vehicle could take up to another MONTH to be scheduled . WHAT THE ACTUAL F***!

Now THAT is making shit up...
