Ford Morning Meeting Update

[BearLeeAsian]

My order was placed on the 20th at invoice. I know, some of you say its not a real order. Anyway I spoke to the dealer today and everything is still a go with the deal. So much ******** around this truck. Anyone else that landed an invoice price hear from there dealer?

Mind confirming if this is Louisberg or not?

Better to find out now than later when you're 6 months into the MY and the dealer makes up some BS story about Ford not filling your order when in reality the dealer never submitted it.

So one dealer said this crap and now everyone is losing their minds? ******* relax people and until other dealers can confirm this or Ford themselves ya'll need to chill.

Hey guys,

We just got an email from FoMoCo at 4:24PM today letting us know that we have been allocated ONLY 4 Raptors that we can order now (we might get more in Aug).

No more info on color, packages or option availability at this time.

No more information as to when we will get more allocations of Raptors.

Ford just released a pretty dreary sales forecast for next year, saying the US market has peaked. GM on the other hand, said the opposite. I know Ford wants the Raptor to command a premium to strengthen the perceived value, but at the same time, I can't see them constraining supply of a popular model when they're forecasting a sales decline.

If Ford really did limit supply, some Raptor buyers would of course pay more. And a few would take another model instead. But most would just sit out and wait. Or maybe start to look at power wagons, ram runners, etc. Either way, those are Fords that don't get sold this year.

So I'm thinking this is a hollow threat. Plus this is all from a single dealer so far.

I think the only way to get Ford to stop these shenanigans is to have competition. They and dealers have too much leverage over buyers wanting a bad ass truck. Tacoma TRD Pro looks promising. Maybe Nissan will build the Titan. Dodge with their overhaul next year will probably do a better job with the rebel next time around. I am sure GM wants to get in on the craze.

New release blues. Nothing new and not unique to Ford. Best deals will come to those that are willing to wait. Have to have it now you will pay. Simple supply and demand. Low supply keeps the demand and prices high. Once the initial pipeline has been filled the deals will happen.

I wonder if the gen 1 will hold its value? Maybe someone should start a thread about it.

Already is one....been going on for awhile now.
