Ford will Stop Taking 2022 Ranger Orders

[DakotaGuy]

My salesman just told me Ford is pretty much done taking 2022 Ranger orders. If you want one you better get your order in now. The deadline is Apr. 29. Dealers can still order for their lots, but no more retail orders.

It might be a long time until the 2023 order bank opens. I'm guessing with the assembly line being shared with the Bronco they are just out of capacity to build any more retail orders this year. They probably have enough customer and dealer stock orders to take them until next fall.

MAP plant is pushing to get an estimated 80,000 backlogged reservation holder's Bronco orders built. So my guess the ratio of Broncos to Rangers being built is increased on the Bronco side. They stopped all new Bronco orders on 3-8-22 until the MY23 ordering begins.

The following was posted yesterday on the Blue Oval Forums, and lines up with what your salesmen told you. Dealers will still be able to enter orders for dealer stock. The longer my '22 Tremor is held up, the more I will lean towards waiting for a '23, even though it will be a long ass wait for the '23:

My salesperson confirmed the same thing earlier today when discussing my order as well.

so this is how they plan on doing this new "nothing in stock" model for buying new vehicles?

Doesn't mean they will get anything in a reasonable amount of time. My boss put in an order for a F150 in December. The dealership told him roughly 6 weeks for delivery. He mentioned that they finally assigned a VIN number to his order yesterday..

Well if it's just dealer stock they might actually get a few on the lot to sell, however just imagine the mark-up some dealers will put on these.

So by model year 2023, do we think they mean ordering for the new 6g ranger opens end of 2022, or will they split production between 2023 5g rangers and 2023 6g rangers?

I can confirm the 9th is the last day.

I'm also wondering what this means for the special splash edition models that were supposed to drop later in the year. I guess those are either canceled or only able to be ordered for dealer retail?

They will probably still make them, but for dealer stock only.
