Not to gum up the works here with yet another ordering thread but at this point my head’s been spinning trying to wrap my head around what’s actually going on with my order. After selling my 2020 I placed an order for a 37 at MSRP in August that wasn’t picked up and was reordered as a 2022 in October. Among my first mistakes was not specifically verifying that the dealer had any Raptor allocations, let alone one for a 37. I was told at the time that Ford was "prioritizing retail orders" and thusly my truck would have a good chance of getting built. Fast forward to now and my order has been sitting at unscheduled clean with priority code 13 since October. Getting fed up I demanded some answers from the dealer and they said today they have 2 allocations for 2022, possibly 3, and that I am 3rd in line for orders at their store. They said none of their orders have been picked up yet and they don’t know when the 2 orders before me will be scheduled or whether or not they will receive the 3rd allocation. I guess I’m still just confused about a few things, are they completely BSing me about not knowing for sure if they’ll get the third allocation? And lastly, if they have allocations for the first two trucks, why haven’t those been scheduled yet if they've been on order since summer?
I have considered starting over and have a made dozens of calls finding a few dealers who claim to have 37 allocations for 2022 and will accept the order today. I have a hard time believing them and one gentleman told me that although he had an allocation to stick with my original order as ordering with him would “put me at the back of the line with Ford”, which at this point I struggle to understand.
Should I stick with the current dealer or move on to another who claims to have an allocation? Any help appreciated!
