Will there be a second order bank around job 2 for Ranger Raptors?
Deleted member 6764
Orders are still open, meaning you still place them and they will be scheduled at some point. They will update/modify what's available, like the 2.7L ecoV6 which will likely be Job2, but they haven't stopped taking orders.

Here is the ordering status from Ford to dealers last Monday.

Raptors require an allocation, so that is what they mean.

the only thing universally confirmed at this point is each dealer would get an initial allocation of 1 Raptor- additional Raptor allocations TBD, with a moving target and mostly official silence. Some dealers have not even assigned their initial allocation as reported here by posters. NON-Raptor Rangers ordering is still open with no hint of closing any time soon and "normal" Ford Customer Retail ordering rules in effect.

Thanks everyone! I am tracking Job 1 hasn’t started yet. I will try to confirm with my dealer if they ever had an allocation. If anyone knows any dealerships that didn’t fill an allocation I’d love to know (probably like everyone else)… if it doesn’t happen I’ll probably wait for the 2.7

Tbh, if a dealer hasn't filled their allocation yet, it's probably because they want a $20K ADM.

It would be nice if when you got your email from Ford, it would tell you if your dealer had allocation or not. Something like, "We got your order, but it won't be scheduled until your dealer has allocation. If they said they did, they lied." Both dealers where I have Raptor orders (One Retail and One Stock) told me that they had allocation, still none have scheduled. I'd imagine one of them will build eventually. At the same time I'm starting to wonder if it gets that far if I'll change it to a Lariat 2.7 ... or a Tacoma

I know my dealer hasn't filled theirs but there are like 6-8 dealers within 50 miles of me and I am the only Ranger they have ordered. I am in ON, Canada and they don't seem to go as fast for orders like the USA.

If you’re patient, they’ll start becoming available again after all the folks have orders in with multiple dealers start getting a build date on one of them.

Not to mention the guys that are getting impatient & opting for something else, like ZR2’s or Canyon’s or whatever they can get to satisfy their gotta have it now appetite!!

Impossible. Dealers usually don't know in advance if/when they would get an allocation under normal circumstances. This Raptor advance notice to dealers about getting 1 is the exception, not the rule (who knows when additional might be awarded) and you can't assume there is real-time communication between all departments and databases and dealers that would need to synchronize to make an announcement like that for each individual case. Also, it might scare off customers or cause them to cancel orders in the system and those orders are part of what forecasters, purchasing, and production use to try to acquire correct amounts of all needed parts, components, assemblies, etc. for Just In Time scheduling and manufacturing.It would be nice if when you got your email from Ford, it would tell you if your dealer had allocation or not.

Not that I’ve tried too hard but every dealer I had reached out to stated the same thing to me regarding Raptors: they are not available to order and their one allocation is either marked up or pending market value, you can get on a list for them but of the 5 I’ve reached out to they all say they simply cannot submit a new order at this time.
I ended up biting the bullet and claiming one, there’s no commitment yet and it was built to the dealers owner specs, has beadlock wheels but otherwise the same as what I want. I’m still hopeful to get an order of my own. I can be patient I just am nervous. You’d thinking being in the heartland of Ford development it would be a smooth process but seems like the rest of y’all have some better luck. Maybe it’s because Ford is popular here I’m not sure.

I've found that smaller locations are more willing to give out reservations/walk down market adjustments if you're local.
My girlfriend called up her hometown Ford(tiny place) just to see how receptive they would be to her (really me)buying a Raptor. Since it's F150 territory, midsizes don't move as much and there was a chance that no one had gobbled it up yet.
The allotment was still available and they weren't even asking a markup from her. Granted she's been driving 3 hours round trip just to get her Tacoma serviced there and they know her by name.
I managed to secure the first/only order at my dealer(also tiny) at no market adjustment under the gentleman's agreement that I spend $2500 on aftermarket parts through them. I was planning on buying a camper shell anyway so it worked out.
A lot of dealers are hurting right now. Inventory doesn't seem to move as quickly as it did this time last year so a sale is a sale to most places.
