2025 Order Guide Please....

Where did you read that phone as a key is available on the 2025s? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

It is referenced in the bottom of this article and asked a local dealer to check on it for me which they confirmed.

Anyone know for sure when the last 24 is supposed to be built? I assume they will not start 25 production until 24 production ends?

I was wondering the same. My dealer shared his order screen with me a month ago and it had scheduled unclean 2024 and 2025 Raptor orders on it. I assume all 2024’s need to be scheduled first but not sure.

Well that was fast. My 2025 is scheduled. Build week 11/11.

With the ports shut down, and if it continues for months on end, auto manufacturing could turn into what we saw during the pandemic. And that was fields full of almost finished vehicles. Or they could sell them without some options and do the discount like GEN 3s without heated wheel.

Good luck to all those who have ordered a 2025.

I was wondering the same. I don’t mind waiting, just don’t want to lose options.

Good news.. no port shutdown as Union workers agree on deal to end strike.

That is good news on a number of fronts

The reason the keypad is no longer standard on the MY25 F-150s is because they are now offering Phone as a Key (PAAK) on the MY25 F-150s. It appears that in Ford’s opinion this feature would replace the keypad for most which is why they made it an option. (Not saying I agree with that, I love the keypad and wish they would keep it as standard and on the b pillar.)

Phone as a key? What about those of us who go to places without coverage? It better work with Bluetooth. And fück their app. I'm not paying ninety grand to be stalked, so it better work without FordAss. I hope the dealer add-on keypad is of decent quality. I suppose an option is to carry a pair of pliers and a screwdriver. I hear that's the quickest way to unlock an F-150.

Hi guys question.. so I am a former gen 2 owner (2018... Loved the damn truck but sold it b/c i had one too many cars). On 9/16/24 I placed an order on a 25 black, 37 PP, sunroof, spray in bed liner, Tonneau cover, graphics delete through the ordering manager at one of the FORD dealerships nearby for MSRP (priority code 19). He said I would receive an email within the week with an order confirmation and the timeline would be as follows. 2 Months for the build to start and another 2 months from there for the build to finish, and another month for delivery, Its been 3 weeks and I have not received any order confirmation, i messaged the ordering manager and he said "ford hasnt accepted any 25 37 PP raptors yet.." what does this exactly mean? I want a truck for this winter season and just dont want to put all my eggs in once basket and end up not getting the truck till end of next year. Should I start looking for local 24 inventory? He also mentioned I am the second person that ordered the 25 raptor, the first person ordered a raptor R 2 weeks prior to my order date and he just started his build.
