The latest word from a Ford dealer is the standard Raptor Graphic decal will no longer be offered. Customers who had the Standard Raptor Graphic Decal option as of March 17 will receive a $100 credit. Also the Graphic Delete option is now standard on the Bronco Raptor. The upgraded Raptor Graphic (50D) is still available as an option for $1,075.
The Bronco Raptor Launch Timeline has also been mentioned:
* March 24: May Production Scheduling
* March 28: Bronco Raptor Hand Raiser Orders Due
* Summer 2022: Deliveries Begin
Using the link, I was able to see that my Raptor is scheduled for production for 5-16-2022.

Also, going through the code, I was able to find my assigned VIN number!
This is an awesome walkthrough with the engineers on the Bronco Raptor Gauge cluster and design. Much better info than the 20 second clip of just driving that I posted last week. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Our members are reporting that if your dealer is trying to place your Bronco Raptor order today, and you optioned for the Black Onyx interior trim with the optional Code Orange seatbelts, the dealer ordering system is not allowing them to add the Code Orange seatbelts to the order. We're not sure yet if this is a glitch with Ford's ordering system or if the Code Orange seatbelts are just not available to order yet. Stay tuned for more information as we receive it throughout the day.
We have liftoff! If you were lucky enough to receive a Bronco Raptor allocation from Ford's "Hand-Waver" program then today is your day to order! According to our forum member @CVSJR he spoke with Ford this morning and confirmed that Bronco Raptor order banks would open up at 3 pm ET today! Ford also told him that if you did not receive a Bronco Raptor allocation confirmation from Ford then you will have to wait until sometime in May to place your order.
If you are lucky enough to place your Bronco Raptor order today please post up here and let us know what you ordered!
