2012 ford raptor status thread

[6.2]

My Screw is at the rail yard set to be ready on the 9th. Sad part is I can't get down there till the 16th. My travel schedule sucks

That sucks man!!

Question, how do i figure out the build date? I ordered 2 weeks ago, how do they get a build date & when does it usually happen?

You won't get a build date until you get a VIN, seem's like Ford is upping production and orders aren't taking as long as some of the early builds.

Do they usually tell you when they get a VIN?

 

[CAbimmer]

yes, your dealer can go to their inventory manager and let you know about when it will get built. I placed my order Oct 14, 2011. It just got to the rail yard by the dealer today. enjoy the wait.

Ordered 12-16-11, built 2-20-12, got the keys on 2-27-12.

Wow, that was fast!

The huge variability in order times is frustrating, to say the least. I ordered Dec 7th, and I still have not been scheduled. Dealer says hopefully by end of month, and I will probably receive truck in June.

FORD, if you are listening... I am no business genius, but if you have a 5 month backlog on $50K trucks with high margins, you are leaving a lot of money on the table.

I think the dealer makes a difference with delivery times. They only get so many allocations per quarter. My dealer hadn't used any allocations (but he only gets two a quarter I think.) And then there is a priority code that they put on the order. That seems to make a difference. Maybe the more money down the higher the priority? And I live about 15 miles from the factory so that helped.

My brother works at Ford so he helped me track it.

It's a nice truck. I'm looking forward to spending some time with it tomorrow. Driving it to work and back has been a bit of a tease.

Oh yeah, the plant was running 24/7. I didn't see too many raptors the day mine was built though.

I ordered mine back in late October and I am still waiting on my VIN, not to mention production and delivery. So good luck with going from order to delivery in a month. Then again maybe you will be one of the lucky ones that doesn't have to wait 5+ months.
