Interesting, I ordered mine July 28, still no build date or vin? Dealer says order is a go.

July 30th here. From what I understand Ford is pulling them manually. The order submission date looks to be irrelevant right now. Obviously it has to be a "clean" order, and your place in the dealer allocation line matters too, but other than that im not sure on the science. Not sure how dealer selection is determined.

I can tell you Ive only herd of one SCAB VIN on here. The rest have been SCREWS. All we can do is wait.

I hope my Ford rep is incorrect...

My truck was ordered clean July 29th, not scheduled until Nov 21st for a build and the Ford rep said, "Your Raptor is in the first bunch and nobody will probably see one in 2016 but it'll be close". (This was Sep 22nd)

If they're correct I wonder if it has something to do with final EPA certification of the engine. Idk why else they would have completed builds just sitting for 2-3 months.

Any thoughts?

The earliest build dates I've seen is beginning of October I doubt the truck will sit for that long. So I would say a late November build date is considered second batch but maybe I'm wrong

Didn't order banks open in late August? How did your dealer submit in July? Did you have the dealers first allocation?

Once they start rolling these trucks off the line I'm thinking we just need an (ok to buy) from ford and we will start seeing shipping dates

We all know that the meaning of life is 42, but when I total the importance of the sentence above, I get 18+25+26=69, thus, not only is Raptor production greater than the meaning of life, it also equates to one mighty fine time.
