2012 ford raptor status thread

[RedWoodred]

After so long waiting, to the point that I'd almost lost hope, and tried daily NOT to think about it, SHE IS HERE!

At 2:45pm the salesman called (he was nervous as hell... wonder why?), to let me know that the truck had just pulled up with my Raptor on it. They didn't have time to finish detailing it, but it didn't keep me from loading up the boys and heading over there to make sure it was real and really THERE.

Even though it still had the plastic wrapping still on the seats, the wheels and lots of the stickers and protection stuff all over, the salesman handed me the keys and said, "Wanna drive it?" Of course, he had to show me the front and rear cameras, and the seats get nice and warm (it was 28 degrees here today), so my butt enjoyed it.

I'll be even calmer when I walk out having paid the right price and the paperwork all signed tomorrow. The best part? Called my insurance company to add the new truck. It is going to cost half as much to add this baby loaded to my auto insurance than the other half's Suzuki Hayabusa insurance annually. Nice. Will add photos tomorrow.

Good luck to all who are still waiting.

Update.....

My truck was built on 1/19, last Thursday, and is just chilling at Ramp 59.

Of course every other truck built last week was out of there within 24 hours, even ones with decals......Not mine! It decided to stay for the whole weekend.

Maybe I'll get it by Feb 6th now?!? This blows.

How do you know where your truck is? Mine was built 1/20 and has to travel to Oregon.

Randy gave me an update on Saturday, and it showed it was produced on 1/19, and as of 1/21 still sitting at Ramp 59 at the plant. I'm assuming they don't ship on Sundays, so that leaves it sitting till today, and *hopefully* it gets shipped off today.

Reptar, I heard it's raining in Dearborn and they don't want your truck to get dirty, thus the delay.

Really? I heard that they left it outside in the rain

Question, maybe one of you with more knowledge can answer. My vin is 1FTEX1R65CFA72862 and the window sticker is up, the number at the bottom says it was made 1/20. I called svt this morning to find out about shipping and they say my truck is going to be made 1/25. ???????
