No worries & no offense taken…to be fair, I did say that more info & clarification was needed…and didn’t imply that anything was definitive or confirmed…just that further investigation into the post was warranted. As in, stay tuned & let’s find out. If anyone has further input on it…great, by...
Just saw this posted up a few mins ago.
If your order has been in production longer than expected or delivery dates getting bumped, this might be why. Also could be why some of our orders are being pushed out, that are not in production yet. Awaiting further details & context about this…(pic is...
FYI…if you didn’t catch it in my original post…this IS a Retail (Customer) order, not a Stock order…it has a priority code for a Retail order as well.
Also…I do have a VIN as well…they had it scheduled for week of 8/30 initially, then it changed to a Build “date” of 8/30…and has stayed that...
Just got off the phone with FP…was expecting them to say that all was status quo for Production date (not week) of this Monday (Aug 30th), which would put it into QA after Labor Day…with delivery sometime in October.
Was NOT expecting them to tell me 4 days prior to the Production date, that it...
FYI…seeing a LOT of posts & teasers on Twitter today…apparently they are having a BIG media/press “driving” event out in the desert this week (today even, as I type this)…one guy noted about 36 Raptors out there right now. So I fully expect a bunch of Videos & reviews about the Gen3 will be...
Finally!…was wondering when TFL would finally get their hands on a Gen3 (aside from the initial Raptor unveiling)? That said…I noticed they were out in the desert…and Mr. Levine has been posting some teasers of the Gen3’s testing in the desert recently. My guess is that they were having a...
While I would like to see Ford up the ante on the V6 Raptor (motor-wise), or offer a Raptor R at a lower cost…they don’t have the mandate or need to do it, despite the TRX being an alternative now. Why? Allow me to throw out some insights here.
1) The TRX (hellcat version) is limited production...
You all need to chill…I’ve got you all beat…finally just got a build week assigned this morning of…8/30!!! Yeh…so there! LOL
Now, somebody remind me again…of how long it takes to build a Raptor, then deliver it to the dealer!?? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just got a call from a dealer in GA this morning.
”Hey, we might have a couple more allocations for the 2021 Raptors available, are you still in the market?”
“Are you selling at MSRP or above?”
…pause & silence…
”Umm, we aren’t sure about pricing yet, we’ll know more this week…also we have...
It sounded like it would be available for the Raptor…yet when I checked the B&P today, it was listed for all the regular Trims (plus Limited)…but it wasn’t listed for Raptor (I didn’t check Tremor).
Wonder if they decided not to offer it on Raptor, or if it’s late availability (or reserved for...
Actually…there is still time for this to change somewhat…as Ford has said that they usually don’t confirm or release HP/TQ specs & Fuel economy until closer to delivery…and given that production has not started yet & those specs could be tied to an ECU flash, easy enough to update ECU’s at the...
Correct…this ^^^ is what I meant.
They were initially supposed to be 2020’s, but were pushed off to 2021 (due to pandemic-related events)…and now, due to supplier issues (hardtops, etc.), some are further delayed & being pushed to MY2022 run, but will be first in line as compared to any “new”...
I think a good question to get answered & maybe some clarity on is…during a “normal“ Model Year (meaning a “non-launch“ year, such as 2018 or 2020), do the order banks for Raptors typically open up the same time as regular F-150’s in the Fall…or are Raptor order banks typically delayed in...
I think I’m in the same boat…they gave me a receipt for deposit, then a pre-sale “Estimated Buyers Order” confirming MSRP & Fees (but Raptor trim wasn’t listed, as it’s not in their internal system for 2021 yet…used Platinum as a placeholder). There’s a note for them to follow up with me on...
I have heard that option pkg will be available on All Trims…so unless they specifically mention to exclude Raptor, I would assume we have access to it.
Needless to say, we’ll know soon enough…and my dealer didn’t say anything about it not being available, when I said I want to add it to my...
Thanks guys…I submitted my info for Deposit of $1K this morning…they were busy & short-staffed today, so he’ll finish it up on Monday.
Meanwhile, this is what he has sent me so far…Priority 20…
…they were already building one (for stock) identical to my build spec’s, so got lucky…just a...
I have no experience with the Spray-In liner from Ford.
However, here is a quote about it from the Gen2 forum…
”Factory spray in is somewhat close to line-x but not as thick and it doesnt adhere as well nor does Ford remove bed hardware to spray it on so they will spray over bedbolts (I think...
I haven’t had to ”order” a vehicle in about 10yrs+ from Ford, since I’ve been with other brands & just now coming back to Ford.
I finally scored an MSRP order allocation from a dealer an hour away (not bad, local enough) & getting ready to send him my $1K deposit.
I need to know what forms...
I just got back from visiting a dealer here in GA…had talked to the guy previously & he said he’d work with me, implying MSRP…he said to stop by tonight, so I did. We went thru the build (said they can’t place order until tomorrow, for whatever reason) and asked him what was next for ordering...
FYI…something I just noticed in an article elsewhere…that the Smartscales (Payload) & SmartHitch pkg is available for ALL trims, but not available for order until next week (6/18) supposedly. Makes sense, as I didn’t see it listed as an option today.
Also, it’s amazing to me…how many dealers...
Here’s a tip…if the Dealer says they won’t sell at MSRP or under & insist on a markup…say thank you & advise them that you will add them to the nationwide Blacklist of dealers to boycott, due to the ADM. If they ask what you are referring to, tell them the forums online are crowdsourcing a list...
Area51, Smoked Quartz, or Carbonized Grey (the new Magnetic) would be interesting, paired with optional Recaro interior (that is NOT all-Blue or all-Black) that isn’t tied to the 37’s…and better wheel choices for the 35’s. Just some middle ground to work with.
Hate to say it, but the color combos inside & out were better for MY2020. Not sure if it‘s a supply chain issue, a failure of the designers, or both…but the options for the Gen3 suck. They put you between a rock & a hard place…sort of take it, or leave it…no middle ground.
Example…a Brown &...
