Build/price is available now and Ford is starting to take orders for it. My initial thoughts: I like it but not enough to run out and stand in line to place an order for one of the first units. As I say with every new vehicle, wait it out a year or two to give Ford a chance to get past the new model bugs. Also as the supply chain issues open up a bit more within the next few years (and probably another presidential administration comes in; but you didn't hear that from me
) prices will start to come down to a more reasonable level on new and used models.
Also I really wish they would offer the Super Cab/longer bed on the '24+ but that won't happen either. I noticed that prices are up on the base STX over 23 but as you move into the XLT prices are actually lower than current MY so I guess it all equals out. I priced out a Raptor but not seriously as that's not in the cards for me. I need my Ranger to be more of a daily driver/work truck not an overpriced toy. I won't pay $60k for a full-size truck let alone a smaller truck.
