Me. Email from Ford 10/28. But stuck in a railyard for 37 days. No actual reason why... but many guesses.

Right... my dealership is great also. Out of state too. I have bought my first Raptor there and my RS and they were both great experiences. The forums shed a light on topics that draw us to how 'SOME' dealers can do so much better. I found that more than not the dealers can simply do better or...

Amen brother. I filed two cases with Ford and simply asked what exactly is the hold up. Crickets. You would think with technology someone can find out why a status stays the same for 5 weeks. At this point I just want an answer on why it sits. I lost my locked in rate and have to re-apply. Been...

Not True. The F150 Raptor allocation granted comes with specificity from rep granting. Either No R.... or No R & No 37. Tell your dealer to do better. As others mentioned above. Forums are a great place to learn as well as see the smoke and mirrors and wolves hiding out that are dealers.

That truck was built 11/27 at Fairway. Landed.

Nice a quick delivery... seems no holds. So @MattR are you moving closer to the finish line or are you not... which information do you trust?

CUSE Lax thru and thru... Football and BBall need changes. Welcome man... went thru and going thru the same decisions. I want a bigger wider tire... but don't want to mess with stock components at all. In reality the stock 35" tire sits soft at 33.75" and a stock 37" tire sits soft at 35.75"...

Yes there are differences in the seats, stops, angles with the 37"... but the suspension components are the same and no need to change or add to them unless you want more than what is offered stock or you change your stance with wheels and tires and want to flex more. The stops are different...

Seems simple. Ford engineered the truck to fit both a 35" and a 37" tire in the wells based on the stock wheels and tires available overall across those different build packages. The 37 package changed how they fabricate the rear chassis to fit the bigger spare wheel tire within frame that is...

No explanation?

Oh I agree... not reliable at all. And, those gaps are a big deal to the consumer. For example, what did happen to the 20 days contractual delivery timeline? Definitely current issues through and through. Need time, money and resources to combat directly. Until then any grass roots efforts and...

Much appreciated! I will continue to extract as much intel as possible and share. I feel this would be helpful as already proven. I'll continue to observe also... others across different forums are starting to take delivery of the latest trucks recently ordered. It will happen to any of us...

Here's hoping!

Ok... yeah later builds hooked the security pack removal, as seen on sticker, and I thought maybe they held your build up for that, resolved it at plant... and sent it on its way. Was thinking maybe my truck snuck out and they want to address that delete somehow before arriving at dealer. But...

No... not easy to get the dealer to move away from his system access, approach. He uses vehicle visibility through his inventory screen. But it appears to be adequate and current against other updates... but lacking specifics I am aware of that he is not and can't access or see. I do know I am...

Y'all in the OG 10/24 build week that are moving ahead 'In Transit'... does your sticker have the security pack removal added? I see later builds (Nov.+) have it on sticker. Still no luck with mine... stuck In Transit/Shipped for 25 days. No updates... nothing. But trying to narrow it down by...

So your secondary status is of a "hold" variety perhaps? See definitions and a snap of a VVR when definitions are in use. This to me tells me something tangible. Do you have something that tangible like "In transit hold"?

How does one come to understand being on "Chip Hold"? Curious. How deep do you dig to confirm this actuality?

Ah. Gotcha. Ok still waiting & watching.

Did you request a VV demo as a customer? If so how many hits can you submit? I would be curious to see what that platform spits out. Maybe you can submit multiple vins...

Anyone move the needle at all on their status, etc.? I am still in Albany, NY 80 minutes from the finish line. Been there since 10/28. give or take.

I know right... Ford allows us to be involved in the order process with dealer of choice and vehicle, options, etc. This attaches a name to the order and establishes an interpersonal connection directly to Ford. They then give us an order tracking website to keep us informed of 'our' vehicle...

Wonderful. All is well. Maybe it's nothing. I'll keep you posted on what it may be.

Here's why I ask. I was shipped or In Transit on 10/28. Built 10/26. ETA at that time was 11/16-11/22. 11/1 truck arrived in Albany NY less than 2 hours from dealership. Method of transit is convoy... but Albany is a rail yard. So I assume convoy is last leg. Early last week still I was still In...

Help me out here... is anyone not in Dearborn anymore... shipped, in transit but confirmed chip hold? I assume chip hold means your still at or near plant and truck hasn't shipped yet at all, right? Offsite is a weird term here.
