does the fact that my dealer got February allocation for my raptor mean anything?
ill check the other thread
My guess is being that your dealer did not have allocation at the time of your order, they are either estimating or have talked to they're regional rep about when they will receive allocation (apparently February).
So right this moment, your order, be whatever priority it is, will not be pulled by FoMoCo until there your dealer has allocation. Which then at that time, you might as well of just put your order in, because that's when FoMoCo's ordering system finally starts to look at your order as to potentially fulfill. As in, there would still be no guarantee your truck will be built until you have a VIN#. Which seems to take anywhere from 2-12 weeks. Why the difference? Who knows....
You should be fine since you got your order in early in the year. That became a problem for me last year, I ordered a 13' last august (with allocation!) And it was not pulled before 13' production ended. Dealer already had a 14' in the works because of this so it wasn't a huge deal just more waiting. Now I have a vin and 1/27 build week. But this problem is gonna suck for those with 14's in the order banks and not be fulfilled when production ends.....
