Ford sent me pic of Bronco Raptor coming off assembly line (photo bomb)

Amazing that Ford can build a BRaptor but can't build our loaded Badlands or Wildtraks !!

They are building them everyday. Just toured the factory on Wednesday. It was full operational, building broncos. The factory is building as many as they can, not just sitting on there hands.

Issues are dealer allocations. If your dealer gets 10 broncos a year, but has 40 orders, it’s gonna take 4 years to fill those orders.

They also hard 250-300 Raptors done, sitting in the Mod department waiting for Fords Exec to ok to ship.

Maybe around 15 Everglades. Apparently the take rate on those isn’t so good

@JcrOffroad-are you sure they are waiting for executive ok to release the Bronco raptors? Any specific reasons why they haven’t been oktb? Waiting on my raptor trying to get a sense of why they haven’t delivered any yet. Thx

I called Ford chat today and they confirmed my Raptor is built and ready to ship. Drove to my dealer and they also confirmed it is built and ready to ship.

After being a day 1 reservation and reordering 3 times, getting the golden ticket and hearing it is actually built, I’m in shock. And, you just confirmed you saw it sitting there. Thank you!!!

Still can’t believe people will be getting Braptors while early 2020 reservation holders haven’t gotten their 2021 Broncos

If you want to be mad, be mad at the ones who already have their Broncos that they ordered March ‘22. Most BRaptors are Golden Ticket day one holders

I was told by the plant manager that yesterday, ford executives were arriving to go over ‘ok to ship’. I have no idea if they gave the ok or not. However they said around 250 raptors were ready to ship once they get the launch code.

This is on the dealers and their allocation allowances management.

Most concrete news we have heard in a while, thanks for this.

Ford decided who was awarded the Golden Tickets. I’m not sure what you’re suggesting that my dealership could have done differently.

I’m referring to people saying ‘I’m still waiting from 20XX’.

I wonder what the damage rate will be for Braptors with rail and truck carriers. That extra width has to be a headache for them.

You don’t have to worry about your Braptor. The only things out in that extra width zone are your plastic flares and tires. I think yours will be just fine…

Your dealership wasn't required to sell a Raptor to the people Ford selected for a GT. The selection process for the GT was just a PR stunt. The majority did go to Day 1 reservations though and seem to have reasonable, or no, ADM.

Gotcha, my bad

Fingers crossed this is accurate and things start moving. I was given an ETA of 8/26 and it is arriving via truck. Just 5 hours away.
