Ford F-150 Raptor R Order Books Will Open Up In Fall 2022: Exclusive

[DFS]

How many TRX's have been sold in the time period? This response has been terrible by Ford from start to finish, I expect getting your Raptor R will make the 37PP delivery's look well handled.

When the entire world shut down in early 2020 ALL companies scaled back on purchasing commodities for production, not just Ford. Even the master magician Elon Musk is having supply chain issues, originally the Cyber truck was supposed to be produced last year and now he is saying, "hopefully in 2023". Just saying we need to put things into perspective, or not lol.

Lets be real,

The Cybertruck was hype only, and I'd be surprised if that thing ever comes out.

This is my point.

How is Ram of all companies getting components for these "complex" systems whereas ford can't? They schedule at the same fabs, similar systems and OEMs, so it's ridiculous Ford isn't keeping up with RAM. I've seen multiple TRX's where I live, a good friend just bought one, I test drove one a few months ago right before it sold.

Approximately 569,389 Ram trucks were produced in 2021 and 726,003 Ford trucks (~30% more). Ford by a good margin produces more vehicles overall than Dodge. Ford doesn't break out the different models so it would be impossible to get the exact numbers. But I can imagine it is harder to get chips and other commodities to produce 726,003 than it is for 569,389, just simple math.

I think the answer is Ford is giving production priority to the Bronco and Lightning, I dont expect that to change, in fact they have doubled down on lightning production.

Also i noticed Ford still has chip shortages for the F150:

Yeah number 1 selling truck for what like 50 years? I understand that Ford sells more F series trucks than Ram. I'm frustrated by the fact that they can produce that many more vehicles, and it seems the share of Halo models (Raptor) doesn't seem to be produced at the same rate. Which I understand, the fleet vehicles are their perpetual money maker. I simply think that Ford has botched the timeline for delivery and release of the regular Raptor, and the Raptor R will be even worse.

I'm stuck in shipping purgatory, so I am not a big fan of how Ford is handling this at all. The lines of communication are virtually non-existent, but here I still wait......

All my gripes aside, I hope they prove me wrong. I hope for the consumers sake this is a smooth roll out and delivery.

Yup LOL

I keep telling myself that as cool as that truck will be. It's just not going to be a "daily" use type of truck like the 3.5 with what will probably be horrible gas mileage.

It will most certainly be my daily with the horrible gas mileage…

Not sure what the bolded statement means. Obviously, they aren't going to make as many Raptors as other F150 models. I have no idea what the ratio, how many Raptors produced per other F150s produced, is or what it should be.

Haven't heard it recently, but a lot of people used to complain that Ford made too many Gen 2s. Now that Ford isn't producing as much, it's not enough.
