Awesome Warrior! Have fun. Keep us posted...and pics.

Was at the LA Auto Show last week and saw the orange crew cab. Was so crazy at the display I didn't even take the opportunity to sit in the driver's seat...and the goofy orange lighting made me feel like I was under a warming light at a cheap restaurant. Kids loved climbing in the back seat though.

Question about the progression....Do you get a build date on your order, and then later on it is issued a VIN? Or is the VIN issued at the time of your order being pulled for production?

Don't quote me on this but... I believe that it goes order, then VIN #, followed closely by the build date. I believe that you get the build date as soon as the truck is assigned a VIN.

Tim, your order is entered into the order bank, then Ford will pull the order and issue it a VIN#. Then it takes about a week and they will issue it a "build week of" normally will be a Monday date. Say week of 12/13 BUT that is only the start, THAT DATE can change. I have seen them move 2 or 3
times??

This is a build process of my First 2011 Raptor Crew Cab. (going to Denver)
