SOOOO a couple rumors floating about that I shouldn't be surprised about given this shit show of a launch by Ford. So before I lose my proverbial shit over this - I need my NY/NJ/PA crew to walk me off the ledge.
Here goes - according to the gang at Brewster I will be in the next allocation for my Raptor (F-ing GREAT right?) You'd think so. This probably puts me into a Sept build and an Oct/Nov delivery for a 22.
Apparently some rumors floating about 23 colors - and like Slim Shady once said - guess who's back - Anti-Matter Blue. Add to that the potential for Black Painted Mod top for 23 and you can all see where this is going in my head.
Now I am pondering waiting for order guide to come out and if AMB and Mod Top are available (like immediately available - none of this late availability bullshit) Do I just wait the extra month or so and get a 23 Raptor in the original colors I wanted from the very beginning.
As simple as an answer as this could be - I'm struggling with it:
the 22 Code Orange will be a Ford Perf color only and I'm happy with it (I think)
It will also be much more rare (not looking to make this an investment vehicle - but long term resale is also nice to hold a little extra value) but it is a first EVER Bronco Raptor.
Not a fan of the MIC top and the pop out windows of the modular make for a much more secure strapping point for the garage/top hoist
the 23 if AMB and Mod - would be EXACTLY how I want it (I'd lose Rhapsody blue interior as it doesn't really match then- but I'm ok with that) There's risk that Ford changes the rules again and says oh wait -that's now late availability, or yeah that color palette was just a place holder AMB not coming back.
I'd have an early 23 which I'm not sure what that accounts for other than it feels better. Code orange ratio of raptors will probably be more than AMB to "regular" Broncos - So even though it's a full model range color - it'll still be rare - and I'm not sure I care that some people may make the comparison.
The only other thing that would put me over the edge is color matched flares - if Ford somehow figured out how to get them painted in the next round.
Not sure where this will go - but I'd appreciate any thoughts
Knowing that Raptors don't really follow the regular scheduling timeframes...do I:
Pull it and wait for the 23 order guide? Risking missing the allocation schedule window and risking not knowing if and when 23 Raptors will start running thru the line.
Leave it and if I get scheduled before order guide - just take the 22 and run?
