GEN 2 2019 Raptor Intel ... V2

[Swamp Fox]

I must be in the same situation. My 2019 was ordered about the same time (or a couple of weeks earlier) and still waiting for it to arrive. I know it has been build (and just heard it is on the train when I called Ford) but even the dealer has had difficulty getting information on when it will arrive and where it is. Thank you for the information you shared.

Get a garbage plate when you are there. The dealer will tell you to do the same, but unless you visit often (ever again) do yourself a favor and treat that new years diet right.

I applaud your patience, my truck was built the same day and it got delivered on November 28. By now I would have gone nuts. Sorry you had to wait, but it will be worth it.

Not sure what you mean by garbage plate?

I grew up in rochester. It's famous for a handful of things, but mostly the garbage plate. What dealer are you picking it up from, a ton of places around town serve it, I'll give you my recommendation based on dealer location.

LOL! Someone I work with mentioned this. I have a 6.5 hr drive back and you want me to eat this?

Dealership is Van Bortel. Coworker tells me Wegmans serves this dish.

So ... finally my 2019 has been delivered to the dealer. My story just in case some of you guys have orders in the pipeline.

I ordered my truck on 9/6/2018. It was the 1st 2019 allocation at my dealership. It was built on 10/24 (3rd day of production). Tracking shows on 11/8 that it was awaiting shipping with no ETA to the dealership. And then nothing for 7 weeks until last week when an update appeared and it was due to the dealership between 1/7-13. Last Thursday I was told it was at the rail station 2 hours away from the dealership and then it arrived Sat morning.

I still don't know why for 7 weeks, it just disappeared. Please note, I was the 1st allocation and the 2nd and 3rd allocation arrived before mine did. The dealership even sold their 2nd allocation as a courtesy delivery to CA and they are in Rochester, NY. Interestingly, the online window sticker was unavailable during the 7 weeks and then conveniently started working last week.

My salesman tells me it has been horrible year and he has had other orders just vanish without a trace. And then just show up without any notice. I have heard, if you are the 1st truck in the holding lot then you are the last truck out. Ford has no system to monitor what truck was built 1st and so on. This is frustrating as how in the hell can Ford not track a 70K vehicle?

My salesman tells me every dealership has complained and was told Ford is working on a better system that prioritizes shipping where 1st build trucks would ship 1st and not get caught behind 2nd build trucks, 3rd build trucks and so on.

Anyway, I am in VA and will take delivery on the Jan. 17th. I told my salesman to park it somewhere safe leave all the plastic on it and NOT to perform any PDI. I want the joy of detailing it myself.

Congrats - im in Leesburg -- Ted Britt delivered my 2019 Friday night. FWIW Ordered in November before Thanksgiving and the truck was delivered two weeks early.
