2024 build date???

[VJDWashington]

This whole order process with Ford is all "F"ed up. Based on what I'm hearing on the forum and two weeks into my order and not a word of a build date or VIN it looks like this won't happen for months. Now the next question is how long do you wait until U just wait for a 2025? I just wish Ford would give me a ball park as to when this might happen. Not knowing is driving me crazy.

As MZRaptor72 said, dump the order and buy one from dealer inventory. Yes it takes time to find exactly what you want/duplicate your order, but you should be able to find what you want.
I dumped my order 2 weeks ago. Bought a 801a under MSRP in Indiana. Paperwork took a while with remote signing through Mavsign but the exact truck I did have on order and then bought from Midwest loaded on a convoy today! ETA my door in WA state Monday. Can’t wait. Been waiting since original order placed with my dealer 13/29/23 and they had/have allocation.
Plenty of sources to find at No Added Dealer, (Stealer), markup. Just look back in this thread.

Just heard from dealer. FINALLY got scheduled for the week of 5/27 for my R. Carbonized gray, graphics delete, roof, spray in liner.

First placed order 7/22. Almost 2 years later I’m scheduled.

Can’t wait.

Is your dealer doing it at MSRP? ….just curious as I have an 802a on order and now seeing more Rs available. All with ADMs, but some not as crazy as the $40k-$50k that use to be the norm for an R. Wondering if enough are being produced this year that dealers will be close to MSRP by year end? Thoughts?

Took me I think under a week from my 3/1 order to get a vin from dealer. 4/1 build week. Mine just shipped yesterday. Dealer says arrival by 4/22ish.

What kind of raptor? Priority code?

Been on the hunt for a 801a in antimatter blue. My original order with a vin goes back to 9/2023. If anyone has a blue 35inch 801a please message me.

Day 10 of the rail car landing at KC rail yard, Day 7 since the last update of "received at Ramp KC". Hoping it gets going in the next couple of days.

I can’t believe yours is still sitting there! That’s crazy, I’d be going stir crazy since it’s so close.

Yes at MSRP. Local ford dealer who sells nothing over sticker (at least not to local deliveries, not sure what they do for out of state sales). They had an 801 a month ago for 4K off.

They didn’t get a 23 allocation but I got the first 24.

Antimatter blue, 802a, no moonroof, spray in bed. I think if memory serves me priority code was 19

Sounds to me like your issue is with your dealer. Did they tell you they had an allocation? Ford is not going to provide VIN and build date without the dealer having an allocation. There are numerous folks on here that have waited a long time but aborted to pick up one hitting the lots right now. Have you tried to just grab one out there? No offense, but two weeks from simply placing an order is nothing. Did your dealer even provide you the first confirmation from Ford indicating you order was clean and accepted into the system? That is when they’ll recognize your order number at least. That is really step 1…. Assuming they have an allocation to even get picked up. Are you just looking for an 801 or 802?

My dealer is the fleet manager. He said they have 3 allocations. He said it may be a while. Maybe he's not telling me everything but he was frustated he had 50 F-150s just sitting waiting to be shipped for months. I'm looking for a 802. He showed me the order is in and I have called Ford and the order is "Processing" and they checked all my information, ie, email, phone number, ect. I guess I'm just impatient. But all I want is vin number and best guess at a build date. Not knowing that is the rub. Dont want to pay for a truck that is a year old when the 2025s are rolling out. But I'm going to wait and look at stuff on the lots at other dealerships.
