OK, now I'm confused. It went to "Final Preparation" within hours and sounds like it's at my dealer. I'm going to swing by first thing in the morning to see if I can see anything.
VIN and build data for the 2022 Bronco Raptor
- Thread starter BRVOL
- Start date
Where are you in TN??
About 70 miles east of Nashville
Anxiously awaiting the news? You drive to your dealer yet?
I drove by this morning but didn't get too intrusive. I had a friend that works there confirm he drove it from the hauler and it's on the back lot, he sent me a pic. 30 minutes later my salesman updated me as well with another pic. I'll update on MSRP shenanigans or anything else during the process.Anxiously awaiting the news? You drive to your dealer yet?
and Congrats, great way to prep for the weekend! 
Looks like you have a great weekend ahead of you!
You're not in Crossville are you????
Cookeville.
Nice.. I'm in Nashville and Knoxville a good bit. Have done that drive quite a few times. Really nice out there. I'm in Western NC south of Asheville about 40 minutes. Would love to see some of those eastern TN trails when I get my Bronco.
I checked the tracker today and it shows my raptor was built on 09/28/2022 and estimated arrival of 10-14 - 10-20. So close but so far!
Received this info today about an hour ago from Ford Performance,
"Your Raptor is produced, and the next step would be for it to be released from the plant. There is currently a plant delay listed on your vehicle which may cause a delay in releasing your Raptor".
There is no revised ETA to dealer as of yet.

So, for those of you waiting just some information that you too may be delayed as well.

Got mine home, dealer kept agreement at MSRP but it seemed like they may not hold that in the future.
I didn't get to drive it much but will update as I get an opinion. It's definitely not as peppy as the F-150 Raptor I had but I knew that going in. I may get some pics this weekend and get some driving done. Hoping to take it through Deal's Gap Sat or Sun for some fun. May get a couple of small trails or scenic spots on the way back home after that.
As with the Raptor... there was a smile every mile going home.

FWIW regarding online updates: My experience was odd. "built" date was 9/19 after a 7 week chip hold. Shipped and Delivered/Final Preparation were updated same day 9/28 and within hours of each other. It came by convoy so that may be a difference vs. rail and it may have been some sub-contractor trucking vs. a typical car hauler, unsure. Each time after my build date that I asked Ford Performance or my dealer all they could tell me is it shows as "Released for shipment" but they couldn't confirm it was on a truck. They both said that "released" typically means shipped, but it never updated. So, be aware there has been some lag of information updates with some people, myself included. I will say that my "shipped" status online update was exactly when it was delivered, then "delivered" was about 3 hours later.
Mine is in transit and they gave me a delivery window and then pushed it another week or so a few days later through email. The tracker link on their site matched what they sent me, but now it doesn't show any date window. Anybody else see this happen yet? I am hoping that means it may be on a truck to the dealer right now or something. I sure would love to go grab it today or tomorrow.
When mine stopped showing a date is when it arrived at dealer but I've not confirmed this with anyone else.
Got my window sticker!!!!!!
Your Raptor will be the number 1072 out of 1116 vehicles built that day
