Support group for those waiting for their MY23 Ranger

[Jhbryaniv]

@conwash check with the dealer - they sent me a picture that shows the truck is at the ramp waiting to get on a train....

Edit:technically it shows 4280 Hannon Rd canton, MI... So not the rail yard.

Edit 2: the delivery date on the picture, they tried to hide it, but it looks like 4 Dec....

Been following this thread the last few days, my blend date was yesterday #274 and just now seeing modules populate, have y'all been getting the built emails recently after that? No tear tag yet. I'm hoping convoy to Central Ohio is pretty quick, it's about a 3 hr drive to Detroit....

I haven't gotten any automatic emails. Just refreshing the status page, or the ordertrack.app page.

Congrats on moving to being built and modules!

Mine took >24 hours to get a teartag...

301A, Technology Pkg, Towing, Remote Start! Ordered a Maverick a year ago but still no movement on that so decided to put in a Ranger order which I think I'll keep this one, more towing capacity for track days

Awesome!

One of the work guys bought a maverick last year, xlt, he is trading it in this year to get a lariat maverick... That is if they build it.

The mavericks and the broncos have been so dang popular.

Unpopular belief, the next Gen ranger will come with a hybrid option like the Maverick.... I'd love that.

Awesome! Just texted my contact at the dealership. We shall see what he says, whenever that may be lol. Would be awesome if they start shipment by the end of this weekend.

Do you have a bed storage solution figured out yet?

I have an inclination, but not totally set yet.

Thinking of doing a decked system, and from the pictures and specs I think the smaller uniform-sized maverick builtright molle panels can be made to work above it. Probably capped with a softtopper for the weight advantage and so the bed can still bed utilized for an ATV if needed, but those ARE caps with the matching porthole side windows and integral roof basket are pretty slick and factory looking, spendy suckers though.

Not planning on a RTT, at least on the truck. But that’s another project. I currently have a little Coleman pop-up I’ve axle flipped on 27’s, but I’ve wanted to do a RTT truck bed trailer build, and that was one of my plans for getting the ranger, and do it with a ranger bed, ideally a 6ft 5g if possible. Then I saw someone on here or maybe the FB group post the one they built using the back half of an IRS explorer; freakin brilliant. No axle to get hung up, shock absorbers, and if a guy wanted to go dude-model, one of the electric-over-hydraulic trailer brake master cylinder's would give it functional disc brakes.

How are you setting yours up?

I'm wondering if we'll get "baby pictures" like the Bronco owners do...

I wanted to email somebody about this but got cold feet, maybe if we collectively did we could make that happen!

All the pictures I’ve seen if the ones they have sent to bronco owners are from the same spot, at the same angle coming off the line leading me to believe it’s somewhat an automated system. I’d even wager they do in-fact snap a picture of every vehicle that comes off the line, just if they would take the time to go through and connect it with the order.

Here’s a couple I saved that just so happen to have a Ranger in the shot, one just behind a Bronco getting its pic taken! Plus a bonus shot from the assembly line guest starring a Tremor haha.

I have yakima crossbars on the adjustable height "legs" for now... (i pick them up from rei tomorrow)

I started on the truck cap route (fiberglass and aluminum), moved onto the diamondback cover and one of the roll top aluminum covers...

I think I'll end up with a set or decked drawers and the yakima bars. I need the cross bars for our kayaks, 12ft and 2 10ft ones. And I wasn't about to buy a 700+ roof rack that requires drilling into my brand new roof...

I have no interest in an rtt anymore, maybe a small travel trailer though... There are 3 of us now and getting into a 3+ person rtt is the cost of a trailer.... A buddy in Maryland is building out one of those old military trailer he is mounting a tent on and building out a kitchen underneath... He is also building a sequoia with a lift for his family of 6....

No pic from my dealership rep yet. Not sure if he has the means to get it. But he said it’s awaiting shipment with an ETA of Dec 9th

Just to clarify, it is a picture of the tracking info on a computer screen...
