    Built 11/1/22 and on hold because of......Ford Hard Folding Tonneau Cover??

    Looking back, are you glad you got the factory hard folding tonneau cover? Or would you have rather gotten your truck sooner without it and gone 3rd party for a tonneau cover?

    Built 11/1/22 and on hold for.... Ford Hard Folding Tonneau Cover??

    So, no one understands why my truck hasn't moved out of Dearborn since it was built 11/1/22. This includes my dealer, Ford Performance, etc. Today, my dealer (working with the GM who's a friend directly) told me that he believes the hold is because of the dang hard folding tonneau cover I...

    Finally got a "ramp designation"... Now, how long do I have to wait?

    MY 23 built on 11/1/22 and received a "ramp designation" on 2/1/223 which appears it's heading somewhere. My dealer is in South Carolina. Anyone out there have any experience from when they got their ramp designation and when it arrived at the dealership? TIA

    8.22.22 Build Date

    I've been built since 11/1/22 and still awaiting shipment. Ford Performance "guesses" that it "may" be going back into the factory, but isn't honestly sure. I've got the oldest built truck this particular Ford rep has seen that is still built with seemingly no holds..... Is there a medal or...

    12/12 build week who is with me?

    Question for you: How do you have this level of details on the whereabouts of your truck? Is Ford Performance sharing this with you? Mine hasn't moved but is listed to move to New Boston's rail yard at some point. Curious if the updates begin to get more detailed once it actually starts to move...

    2023 Raptor at MSRP - will pay up to $1k finders fee (or $2k in BTC)

    I called..... "Oh no, that's definitely the wrong price on the web. That is a retail truck that was ordered for a customer." Comedy.

    2023 Raptor Order - Built 11/1/22, not shipped, factory sticker available then deleted :(

    My window sticker still isn’t active. I reached out to my dealer who could access it and he emailed the pdf to me. Yet one more wacky thing going on logistically and systemically with Ford pre ordering. Even when I’ve asked Ford, they can’t figure out why it isn’t populating on the tracker...

    MY 23 AG Built 11/1/22 - Just received 5th eta shipping email...who's with me?

    I thought this, too, but I see MY 23's being delivered. left and right. Not sure what's going on with how late they can deliver a 22.....

    MY 23 AG Built 11/1/22 - Just received 5th eta shipping email...who's with me?

    Man, you just struck a chord with me and what you just shared here. That's a helluva testimonial which makes so much sense. Now if I only had a dealer 1 mile away willing to come down that far for a truck I would buy!!! Ha! Happy you're finally happy, brother!

    MY 23 AG Built 11/1/22 - Just received 5th eta shipping email...who's with me?

    I paid MSRP from the dealer who is a friend, but I have to be honest that this experience has been awful. I can't imagine what others are going through and dealing with who have been waiting much longer than I have. If I ever buy another Ford truck, it'll be off the lot. Period. The msrp deal...

    MY 23 AG Built 11/1/22 - Just received 5th eta shipping email...who's with me?

    Looks like you're in the same boat as me, my friend. What does your build look like? Curious if we have similar options that may have slowed things down, but it seems we are both ust looking for a ride out of Dearborn!

    MY 23 AG Built 11/1/22 - Just received 5th eta shipping email...who's with me?

    Braintrust, My truck was built 11/1/22. Ford Performance says no holds and it is awaiting shipment. They are "shocked" it hasn't moved yet. They are now seeing trucks built end of November and beginning of December being shipped out to dealers regularly. They suggested for me to call my...

    My observations on hunting for 37

    This is awesome. Appreciate your knowledge and congrats again on finding a fantastic deal on a loaded truck. Enjoy!

    My observations on hunting for 37

    Here's a question for you: When you say you "hunted" for trucks that are on the ground, what was your methodology in learning what was available? Did you literally just take a map and start to expand your radius with just cold calling dealers to see what their "best offer" was? Curious for...

    Build Week 10/24/2022

    I've had my truck built since 11/1/22. My dealer says the notes he has claim it's on a chip hold, but when I call Ford they say the truck is 100% built and awaiting a carrier to deliver it to the dealership. How did you find out that your truck moved to the rail yard? Or any other movements...

    Gen 3 finance rates.

    Any recent experience since mid December with the finance rates that are currently out there? I've got my AG 35 built 11/1/22 sitting and wondering when I should start to seriously look into locking into my rate.... although lord only knows when the truck will get shipped.... :rolleyes:

    Dealer Service Recommendation in Atlanta area (preferably closer to Marietta area)

    Morning Gents.... Curious if anyone knows of a reputable Ford dealership/service center near the Marietta/Kennesaw/Canton/Acworth/Woodstock area outside of Atlanta? I've got a 23 Gen 3 built 11/1/22 and awaiting shipment (still) from a dealer out of state. Reading of some of the "potential"...

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    Easy to adjust manually alignment wise?

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    Do you know if the 23's come standard with the rigid light black solid protective covers?

    Short Antenna Recommendations

    That's a great point. I guess if I ever needed FM signals, it would be nice to have one that worked.

    Short Antenna Recommendations

    Curious what brand/model/types of short antennas you gents are using since the factory magic wand is still actually a thing in 2023 for Ford trucks. It'll be the first thing I swap out..... Thanks!

    2023 Raptor Order - Built 11/1/22, not shipped, factory sticker available then deleted :(

    Curious why the commenter above mentioned that his dealer told him they would be removed then? Dealer error?

    2023 Raptor Order - Built 11/1/22, not shipped, factory sticker available then deleted :(

    Is there a way in telling from the factory sticker if the heated side mirrors have been removed? I didn't know if that's a "deleted option" on the factory window sticker or may just be a hidden removal (like the lcd numeric temp knobs).....

    Built but on chip hold now

    what do you mean by no "gauge cluster"? What part of the vehicle are you referring to?
