2021 Raptor not any time soon..

[G-Train]

Complete BS. I know more than my dealer, who I might add sells the most F150's in my area. I give HIM information. Plus I have an Engineer at a Plant (I am a supplier to Ford) and then I have had personal DM's on Twitter with a certain well known guy who said it is coming in Summer.

will there be issues with the lack of chips for raptors given the fire in Japan. Maybe we get raptors but they are missing chips in dealer lots.

I honestly don’t know why they didn’t just say it’s in the 2022 truck lineup. With all the problems and everything it would just make sense to give yourself some breathing room. And if anything make people happy by delivering early vs them annoying ppl if they are delayed.

Not to mention how the model years end up being that companies are already on the verge of pumping out 2022 models soon. So how are we waiting for a 2021 when 2022’s are already coming?

auto chips manufacturing plant in Japan burned down on 23 Mar h of this year. It supplied most car companies.

Oh ok, heard about the chip problem didn't know that was the reason why.

Look at dealers lots. The lots by me are still empty. I see some ‘21 F-150’s on the road now, but think there trickling out as well. Until I see varied F-150’s sitting on lot’s, I’m not expecting a Raptor to drop soon. But who knows. I’d hate to buy a new ‘21 Raptor literally a couple of months before ‘22 and still pay top dollar for it. I bought my ‘19 in late Sept. but that was sub invoice.

At this rate, the Raptor R will be out at the same time as the base. Looking more and more like 2022.

That or they end up pushing the R to a later year or as some think maybe end up canning the entire idea of a v8 at all

According to my local Ford dealer, they dont expect to see any 2021 Raptors on the lot before 2022.

There has been no change in timing for the Gen 3 Raptor. It is still slated to hit dealer lots around the July/August timeframe this year.

Our lots are practically empty out my way as well, the dealers have all the cars spaced apart, trying to make the lots look full. I have had Ford and Dodge calling me, wanting to buy my used vehicles, like what for, you have nothing to trade up to, lol. Not that I would sell anyway.

Well, no one really knows. It does look like they are in fact moving forward with the R though. I don’t think the R will be canceled. I intend to pick up a Gen 3 when they do become available.

I'm good with waiting for my22. My Bronco should be here in a few months. That should hold me until January or February of 2022.
Anyone know approximately when order banks are opening.
