Since i placed an order of my Raptor at dealership, one question has been in mine pretty bad
"Where is my Raptor?????"
I searched this forum and websites, I found some good source.
Before I start, I tell you that this is only my opinion. If other thoughts appear in your mind, post it please.
Until you get your own VIN, the dealership is best option.
They have their network system for ordering and planning build.
One guy from my dealership showed me the system, once the dealer put my name and info of order, the system showed my order number, VIN, and planting schedule. If anything of those info havent decided or scheduled yet, it would be empty. So when i saw it, it had order number and VIN but build date.
Since you get your VIN, dealer doesnt have authority of accessing into planting system. They can only get building schedule which is not clear or scheduled for a long time. And also, after finish of built, dealer can't track the delivery with their own system. They can call some numbers, but they seem like they don't really know about what they have to do.
If so, you can call 1-800-FORD-SVT.
I searched and found the number form this forum and called today, they know exectly where my Raptor is. I just asked him that I was just wondering where my Raptor is, and one thing he asked me was last 8 digit of my VIN. And then, he told me my Raptor is one city in CA. He told me the name of city, but he and i didnt know much about the city and it didn't really matter as long as my raptor is on its way home. He also told me estim. delivery date which is next Mon. or Tue.
So, you can ask your VIN at the dealership, and once you get your VIN, you can call 1-800-FORD-SVT.
P.S. The dealer guy showed me one another thing which is special ordering system. Ford ask dealer many specific questions about the ordering personal when dealer placing special order like Raptor or GT500. They even ask about how much this person put money for deposit....
