2019 Raptor Intel

[jzweedyk]

For those of you that have placed your order for a 2019, have your dealers actually been told what their allocation will be? My dealer is still waiting for that information before I can place my order.

Same thing with my dealer, and he didn't ask for a deposit, at least until he gets an allocation and can place the order. Also a pretty big dealer.

Scheduling is set to start 9/20. So should know allocations by then.

guess we shouldn't see an online build link until close to this date?

So is the 9/20 date when those of us who have orders in get a VIN?

No. Each dealer will get a set # of allocations then starting 9/20 every Thursday for pulls X number of trucks for build dates and assigns them vins. So if you’re at a dealer that gets 20-30 raptor allocations and your order 1 it should be the first few schedules hopefully. But if you’re 20 In line you’re talking next June July. When I ordered my 2017 I was 1 of 1 allocation and waited till 12/15 for my vin to get assigned. It was a long wait from july

On 9/20 is when the scheduling begins. Your priority # is what matters. If you have a priority #1 then you will get your's built with all the other priority #1's. If you have priority #5 then you have to wait for all the priority #1's to get built then all the #2's and then the #3's and so on and so on.

Here is a good thread on priority codes
http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f260/priority-your-dealer-once-ordered-49404/

Also from the RS forums
"\2. Priority Codes.

This is listed on the far right upper portion of a DORA. It’s also on the dealers print outs of order status. This only applies until a unit is scheduled. Once assigned a VIN this doesn't mean anything anymore.

The codes start at 1 and run to 99. A dealer can only assign between 10 and 99. A 99 order can't be scheduled. I use these for people that tell me to get them a unit on date (later than normal orders take). I put in a 99'd order so I have what they wanted in the system and don't forget about it and then change it to a buildable priority when time comes they're ready for the truck. The region (or other Ford divisions) can prioritize below 10; I've only seen a 01 priority below 10. They do this in the event of something unusual; most orders never see a priority 01. An example is if they're manually scheduling (like the First F-150 for each dealer, or first year T Birds) or if it’s something that needs to be urgent (first order destroyed in shipping, etc). Again I normally only see this a few times a year. Also if you do get a priority 01, things usually get scheduled fast even if you have some hard to get commodities (but not hold items). More on commodities later. I believe that the under 10 priorities go first through the allocation system.

Other priorities are to organize what order the dealer wants the trucks in. These only affect that dealer and have no bearing on other dealers. If a dealer only uses 50 or higher, another dealer that starts at 10 won't get his trucks any sooner. This system is to organize the order so they are "in a row" for scheduling. That way in the first pass of scheduling they only look at 1 truck per dealer, then on second pass look at 2nd one. Regardless of what the number actually is. If 50's the lowest at dealer a and 10's my lowest, they are both in the first pass, and are equal to each other.

More than one order can have the same priority. If this happens the system looks at order types and then order date. Retails take priority over stock and oldest takes priority. For example:

order 1234 Retail order date 9/3/03
order 4321 Retail order date 5/5/03
order 5555 Stock order date 4/4/03
The Retail orders take priority. and then oldest order comes first. So the system would look at these in this order:
Order 4321 because it’s the oldest retail at this priority
order 1234 2nd as it’s a retail
order 5555 being a stock order its 2nd despite order date.

Also Priority can override stock, retail or order date. If a retail is priority 20 and a stock is 19, the stock tries to schedule first; the retail and date thing only applies to orders with the same priority number.

So the big thing I want everyone to know is don't get too worried if your not a priority 01 as this is very rare, also don't worry if your not at priority 10, I start my retail orders at 20 so I've got some room if something comes up that I need to prioritize under my current orders I can.

On Fleet orders, none of this priority stuff applies. The priority codes are to control build date and are a letter and a number that correspond to a build month and week. This isn't to get stuff quicker but actually slower. Often fleets will order in January and not want the units for a few months. I can order so it can't be built until later so it will arrive in time but not overly early. Fleet units don't compete with retail or stock at all for scheduling as fleet comes out of their own pool and not from a dealer’s allocation."

On 9/20 is when the scheduling begins. Your priority # is what matters. If you have a priority #1 then you will get your's built with all the other priority #1's. If you have priority #5 then you have to wait for all the priority #1's to get built then all the #2's and then the #3's and so on and so on.

Priority number is only for that dealer. It only comes down to how many allocations they have and in what order the dealer submits it’s orders

my post had this title >> FP vs Velocity Blue

It is lightning blue and not Ford performance blue and hence the error.
