[VIDEO] 2024 FORD RANGER RAPTOR COMPLETE GUIDE

[T-Rev]

Can we also explore the hypothesis that all first-allocation Raptors have been scheduled? My dealer has repeatedly told me I was first in line, but my Raptor has not scheduled. I haven’t been too worried since the poll on this forum still shows 77% Raptors unscheduled (I understand not all of those are “first” allocations). I’d be interested in knowing how many members that believe they are first on their dealer’s list still have not been scheduled.

I'm one of those members. Certain I am dealers first-allocation (personal relationship). My order went in a few minutes after the order banks opened. First as a retail order. Told to switch order to stock and did. Then told to switch order back to retail and did. Still not scheduled.

Sounds like you and I have similar circumstances. I don’t have a personal relationship with my dealer but have one I’d call good (for now ). My order was submitted Stock the day the banks opened then switched to Retail. Thanks for the response.

There is no way this is the case. There are way too many that haven't been scheduled for there to be a widespread issue like that. Everyone just needs to have patience. Nothing about the scheduling has been outside of what Ford does for other models. Just hang in there and don't get wrapped around the axle about it.

I know for a fact that I am my dealers first & at the moment only allocation & I am not scheduled at this time. I seriously doubt that all first round allocations are scheduled yet. There is a member here who calls himself “Drumz” that said he is friends with someone who works at MAP & that person said that they’re going to build 30 RR per day. If that is in fact true, so far they have only scheduled 5 weeks that we know of. That’s 150 per week x 5 = 750. If all this is true, that leaves roughly 2200 more that have yet to be scheduled as far as first round allocations are concerned. Of course this is all speculative bullshit too!!

Hey Tim,

Have you received any info on your next Raptor allocations yet, or has your Ford Rep given any indication as to when you will receive future allocations? Sorry if this question has been asked already. I am just curious now since probably most dealership's first allocation probably have been scheduled already.

It will be 4th quarter before we hear anything, so sometime between October and December.

I did not realize the Raptor has a 4.70 front axle ratio, with a 3.73 rear ratio. What's the advantage of that.

That has to be a typo. There’s no way the front can have different gearing than the rear.

The brochures seem to support that the Raptor has different ratio's. Odd. Now I am wondering why Ford has done this.

Someone smarter than me can correct me, but a different drive ratio on the front from the rear would cause the whole drivetrain to bind.

The brochure is wrong...

Axles are 4.70, tcase low is 3.06. Crawl ratio is 67.7

I have first allocation at my dealer. Sales manager is a family member so I know he’s not jerking me around and I haven’t been scheduled. I ordered on 5/26 then had the dance of retail/stock/retail that many others did.

Yeah, its a miss print. The Bronco Raptor run's 4.70 ratio front and back.

@fordvideoguy why no AC vents for rear passengers?

Ford engineers at the release stated it was to cut cost so they could hit their price point. Also I believe we are not getting the passenger or driver cup holder that's in the dash that you push to release another cost saving measure to come in at a certain price point to the consumer. I'm sure all of us would have been happy with those options and cold seats with a 60/40 split in the back seats and be willing to pay the extra that it would have cost if anything it'll probably drove more sales.
