My 22 ordered January 10th 2022 was never picked up despite the dealer
(Laurel Ford, MT) claiming they had an allocation. I didn't wait for it to be rolled over as the dealer stated they only received 3 allocations for 2023 (so far) and had 12 orders on the books; I was 6th in the queue.
They refunded my $1k deposit and I found a new dealer within 7 hours of me that had 6 available allocations for 2023's, 2 of which were 37 packages which is what I want. Placed a new order with them on August 10th and just got the following update on Friday:
Ford have asked for the first run of Raptor orders (non R). I have submitted your order to scheduling. When I receive an update on this I will pass it along to you. According to Ford there was no commodity constraints but down the line this make affect things. Just wanted to keep you in the loop!
I was told in a subsequent email that Job 1 is going to be built October through November so I am expecting a build date in that range.
I would check with your dealer if they have been given allocations for 2023; ask how many and then ask how many orders they have on the books and where you are in the queue. An honest dealer won't have any issues providing this information. My dealer has sent me innumerable screenshots proving their allocation, showing my order priority, etc etc etc so I am very confident.
If the numbers don't line up, then cancel and find a new dealer.
