Guess I'm waiting for awhile..

Any better ways to locate one other than Ford's search that's limited to a 100 mile radius?

Go into the URL and replace 100 with 500. That makes a big difference. It worked last year, but 500 was the maximum radius. With a few strategic zip codes, 500 works well.

I'm wondering if dealers are marking them up even for those that ordered? Like the call and "Hey .. you're Raptor's here.. it'll be 10K above ordered/quoted price upon delivery"

This is exactly what Im waiting to watch. If all these guys are excited they found MSRP and then go to deliver and whoops we added 15-20K-- sorry take it or we'll throw it on the lot and get our ADM

Anyone catch the window sticker for that rig? It indicated there was an “Auto start stop removal” option and actually showed a rebate of $50. I had the Auto stop eliminator installed as that feature drive me nuts.

Due to chip shortages, Ford added the option to delete that stupid *** feature. Not sure how long it will be available for though

What does a chip shortage have to do with start/stop delete?

Ford's having issues with commodities due to supplies for auto start stop so removing it speeds up production.

Interesting. What commodities/supplies are needed for auto stop start? If it can be deleted or enabled with forscan, you would think it is just some coding. I was wrong once before though, so who knows.

Autotrader.com where you can set the search across the country

yeah, I'm inbetween trucks right now and have about 8 months or so before

not sure how it matters as far as production goes, but people got calls and were told if they deleted start/stop, their trucks would arrive faster. Certain chips control that feature I guess? ‍

Last I remember yes it's software, a electronic separate transmission pump for cooling, a separate wire to the starter to engage separate of the ignition switch, and a disable button. I believe there's a few more modules ect but haven't pulled up a wiring diagram yet I can later today at work and see (I work at dealer).
