Man I waited almost 8 months. But once I took delivery I forgot all about the wait. Love my Ranger and glad I waited it out. All of you waiting it will be worth the wait.
That is what I keep in mind as I impatiently wait for a build week or VIN email.

Not trying to be an ass, but you've already waited 6 months and have even purchased accessories only to now cancel because of having to wait 2 more weeks?? I think you should take a breath and reconsider man...

The salesman can't possibly be able to give accurate estimates and the delays probably have absolutely nothing to do with your dealer.....
The waiting time has been less than the 6 months because I did not originally order the Ranger. The dealership had it on order already. I just put a deposit down on it after finding it available and completing/accepting the deal. The most aggravating part is being lied to by the sales lady. I can deal with waiting IF I am told the truth. I am old school and was taught at a very young age to be honest with others and I expect that from people I deal with in return. In any situation, including a sale of an item. Thanks for your input however!

Phil, I think @CP0861 is right and you should just give it a little more time. I mean you've come this far and the shipping delays are a mess everywhere. There are guys on the JL forum who've been waiting 6+ weeks for theirs to ship so it's not just Ford.

If you start all over you could run into the problem of not getting it built then having to wait until the 2023's come out. I know it's frustrating (I have a Bronco order lol) but sometimes it's best to step back and try and forget about it and next thing you know it'll be at your dealers. Maybe try calling Ford corporate and see if you can get someone higher up and ask them if there's anything they can do? They might not be able to but it's worth a shot. Good luck and hang in there it's worth the wait.
I just talked with the general sales manager at the dealership who understood my concerns and apologized about the mis-information that I had received. He asked me to please try and be patient for a bit longer and made me even a better deal on the trade. So, I will wait a bit longer and try to maintain sanity while waiting for the Ranger. As I sit here and look and all my new Ranger accessories and of course the brand new in the box Dee Zee tailgate damper for the new Ranger. Dave, do you know anything about those Dee Zee tailgate dampers? :LOL: I hear that they work pretty well :like:

Glad to hear you're going to stick it out a little longer and getting a better trade makes it even more worth it.

As far as the damper, I might just know a thing or two about them. :shock: :wink:

I hope it works out for you and I'm glad to hear that some are stepping up to the plate at the dealership.

That's really helpful that you posted your dates. I'm just 10 days or so behind you. I'm also a 4x2 Supercab with trailer tow but just XL with 101A and built 4/18.

Congrats on your new Ranger!

Thanks for this breakdown. I feel like everyone's experience is different based on the the date they get scheduled for production after the order is received. That may vary based the commodities/allocations, etc. And then what the delay could be for shipping based on where in the country and method of shipping and carrier.

I was as well. My salesman is no help. When I ask about getting the priority bumped up from 19 he looks at me like I am an idiot or something. ?
My salesman said the auto bump them up when they gt a new order. I asked for it to be bumped anyway, just to make sure some other salesman doesn't leapfrog me for his customer.

I’m just a month behind you and still no vin. I’m not worried on how long, I would just like to know for sure that I’m going to have a place in line. I don’t want to start buying accessories till I know I’m going to have a truck.

I was told today that mine is on "plant hold", whatever the hell that is. No one seems to know what that status is.

Am I the only one that seems to think there are fewer folks reporting being scheduled for build on this go round (Thursday 21 April)? I've been compulsively checking my email for two days now and looking for any indication as to what is going on...but am growing more and more convinced that I won't be scheduled for even a June build at this point.

Same. I ordered end of March and was cautiously optimistic I’d get scheduled this go round. Look like i probably won’t even get built until July/august at this point
