How many F150 retail orders do you have?

See prev post...... We can order up to 33 regular F150 if we want

So a retail order counts against your allocation?

Yes, it is the same thing. We can order as many as we want but orders will just sit in the order bank and are only filled when Ford gives the dealer allocation for that model.

I thought there was a difference between stock and retail orders. Oh well, mine is ordered

Yes, so far they are. We got allocation for 33 F150 for Aug but we only got 4 Raptors......

For the month. Next month resets?

And what's your info on priority code?

4 out of 33 sounds pretty good to me. Can we infer then that 12% of the first month's production will be Raptors? That would be more than 7500 Raptors

My guess is that the 'gotta have it' customers will be taken care of in the first month.

It is not very limited production.....

Less than 2% of F Series sales...sounds limited to me

As of yesterday, my dealership connection has heard zero info about allocation. Mind you, we are in a raptor demand saturated market too.

When you have the two owners asking me if I've heard anything, you know dialogue from corporate to dealerships is non existent.

Not saying certain dealers haven't heard more but I find it hard to believe that this info has been shared with only select dealers... How are they allocating 4 for August to a certain dealer as stated above when production hasn't even started?

I think this may go inland with my other tread of "is ford having trouble making these" maybe parts lined up?? the ECO boost engine is suppose to be high output similar to the Ford GT; so getting those engines lined up will significant etc I have no idea how many Ford dealerships are out there but if someone says a limit of a MAX of 4 per dealership maybe sound right.
