Support group for those waiting for their Ranger MY22

[scarchild35]

I wasn't paying attention and it was up to 85 on the freeway. Just after that I noticed a Sheriff's deputy coming up behind me with his red and blues on. ?
Fortunately he wasn't after me. ?

Haha, yeah, I can see that happening. This turbo is definitely something different from the older Rangers

Worth the wait - new truck and new horse trailer both home this morning.

The whole buying experience from Granger was great (minus the wait, not Granger's control or fault).

Paperwork electronically signed last Thursday morning; late Thursday non stop flight to Des Moines [$130 total for two tickets from San Diego]. Hilton points room, Lyft first thing in the morning rather than take Granger free pickup late morning. On the road with the truck withing 30 minutes after quick walk thru. Drive 600 miles to Shawnee Oklahoma with a side shopping diversion for my wife to a Polish Pottery store along the way.

Overnight (paid room) to rest up for the push home after 9 am horse trailer pickup. Drove the remainder 1390 miles home in 26 hours (switching drivers) and many fuel, food, and health break stops.

Gas was in the 3's in going all the way until New Mexico. Low 4's in NM and AZ. The the $6.05 pain in CA.

Got 28.2 mpg for 600 miles to trailer pickup keeping speed 65 and under. With trailer (2600 lbs) got 14.6 mpg for the 1390 miles keeping speed generally 60 to 63. First 500 or more miles were with trailer mode which cost MPG (probably 13.4 during that stretch). Then decided the truck was perfectly fine with it off -- it wasn't hunting for gears or having any performance issues that I detected. Also, wrongly or not, I used the 86/87 octane (varied by states) vs premium which many towing forum posts recommend. I ran the whole trip on Trip 1 with 17.2 MPG (and noting MPG before trailer pickup) and the Trip 2 for the travel with the horse trailer.

The Granger deal was fantastic. Ordered 2/28, so got the price protected MSRP/invoice and destination fee (saved about $700). Then the Granger 3% under invoice less $2250 in Ford offers I qualified for. And a 0.9% for 36 months that was there at order time (I was prepared to pay cash, truck is a self retirement present / splurge, but taking the 0.9 and put the cash in 4% three year CD).

And the HID halogens were fine for the nighttime driving (not saying the LED delete wasn't disappointing), thus the $500 savings. Bottom line Lariat 500A plus towing package for $30312 plus $180 doc, $45 temp tag, and then tax and license/registration back in CA. Totally makes the three day fly / drive back worth it. And since I sold my 2001 Explorer Sport Track for $6000, to me I did the new truck upgrade for just over 24K plus tax/license/registration. And got an excellent deal on the horse trailer in OK (hard to find those too, lot's of supply issues there too.

So, a few pictures - note this is after 2000 mile drive with several hours of rain. Pictures are truck and trailer at our barn.

Just got a call yesterday from my dealer, ordered a Lariat in march, still waiting, he told be it will be a 2023 with the new designs... Asked him for pictures since the new model should be in 2024 but he didn't had any.
Still waiting

Nothing like a dealer that doesn't know his product. The 2023 is not the new design / new model.

Make sure you are price protected.

The truck is worth the wait. I ordered the end of February and took delivery 8 days ago.

For those who voted they were still waiting I think have gotten theirs. Original 2023 build week was supposed to start on 10/17.
Hopefully they're up to speed with getting their 2022's built and the 2023's can start this week starting Monday.

 

[RK Racing]

Received ours exactly 2 weeks ago from Granger Ford in Iowa. 7 months 1 week wait….. worth da wait.

I'm pretty sure all the '23's with a 10/17 build week got moved to 10/24.....mine did.

Yeah, I think you are correct.
There's a post where someone says they still have 10/17. But we'll see.

I can tell you, sport package bumpers are going to hold some builds up. The fronts I know are on back order bc I’m waiting for one now…
