The guys at FPG have always been awesome and doing the best they can. I think the issue at hand is there so much "no info". I'm with everyone here and frustrated to that we're all buying 70-90k$ trucks and have " no info". It would be nice if someone just said " were delayed due to chips, or scheduling, or finalizing previous builds ect...ect..". We haven't had much info through all of this, I mean hell I didn't know 37s were limited production runs till June 10th when I tried to order. I really wish someone could just tell "1 person" on here what's going on or the process or plans ect so everyone has a clue. Dealerships know nothing, FPG don't, someone should clue someone in and I think everyone will be a little happier in the long run. One can only hope it's a glitch or just a mass scheduling change for time being, I'm staying faithful in this and don't want to cancel my order yet, but if no answers are put out there soon, I just may consider it a little harder. Till then all we can do is be patient and treat the guys at FPG with respect, they don't have to take our calls but they do and always are polite and willing. Let's work together guys and get through all this as a team/group

It’ll all work out. At least your not out a huge chunk of change on the front while you wait. Don’t get me wrong, I called Ford performance and asked for a build date…(and to reassure myself the order was in).

Every time I submit to for a form 4 tax stamp the wait is a minimum of 6 months. One of them was 16 months. And you have to buy your cans and sbrs fully prior to submission.

Through that lens this will be a blink of an eye…hopefully. Haha.

Like I said it is stupid to be mad at some hourly workers at FP for things they have no control--that's a given.

Karens also tend to be the people saying 'word on the street' lol.

It's a truck--it will get built when it get's built.
Alright, buddy. Sorry, but I didn't want to post come dude's real name on the forum. Relax, bro.

FP should just not take calls anymore. When I spoke to them last week they were super nice.

Ford needs to have an online process so peeps can check their orders without bothering the FP guys.

There’s a guy on Facebook that’s probably called them 5 or 6 times based on what he has posted. Some of you guys need to take a chill pill.

Exactly. I’ve been down the Form 1 and Form 4 hole more times than I’d like to admit. I’ve set an internal date of end of March for my build. If it’s past that I’ll be disappointed, if it’s before that then it’ll be glorious.

I agree with everything you said except cancelling your order. What’s that going to do? Nothing. Do you really think you’ll get a TRX or other truck sooner? Ford will still sell the truck you don’t buy. It won’t hurt their bottom line at all. It just proves how entitled some people think they are.

Wasn't meaning backing out of a raptor completely, just meant backing out for 2021, and maybe looking into a R or 2022 once everything starts to get back to a normal lifestyle. My apologies for not wording it correctly.
