Here's the update that I got on my order today...

[Jme]

My dealer just emailed me this afternoon...

"The Ford rep pushed it through and it’s going to lock in tonight at midnight. Once it’s in order bank it should take 10-12 weeks. I ordered my brother in laws lariat on 12-7-13 and it arrived 2-13-14. If you want to change color let me know tonight as a I don’t think I can change tomorrow. Email me back or call "

Great news... But now I feel under the gun! I'm still so conflicted between race red and white!! The order is in for white right now, but I've seen a ton of pictures of race red that look fantastic tonight that's making me lean towards changing!! If I just go back and forth with myself a little while longer I won't have a choice anymore and my decision will be made.

Your avatar has more red than white... choose red.

Get white. I just got Ruby Red which I know isn't Race Red but my last truck was white and this red one that I just got is a finger print magnet, its showing everything, driving me nuts.

I'd go with red (although I went with Black).

Hopefully they're telling the truth, but I wouldn't bank on it. From what I was told today ZERO Raptor orders are being pulled until the 2nd week of April


Oh and Oxford White>Race Red

White jumps higher, runs longer, stays cleaner, and looks cooler. Red belongs on ferraris and ducatis, white on raptors

I'd vote for white, but motorcycles excluded, I tend to only buy white or silver vehicles when those colors are available.

thanks for the input guys, I decided to stick with the white... I think both colors look great but in the end I figured I'd go with my initial choice... and if I decide I like red better I can always sell it in a couple years when the new Raptor comes out and order one of those in red!

Oh, JB 2014 Raptor SCrew, I have no reason not to believe the dealer... the email I received was from the GM and the owner is a friend. I made it quite clear when I ordered it that I'm in no rush, as long as I end up with a truck. so, he'd really have no reason to tell me it was being pulled if it weren't. But then again, who knows... I guess we'll see in 10-12 weeks.

ducatisps, my Ducati was yellow... but other than that I tend to agree with your reasoning, thanks.

All I can say is good luck with that timeline your dealer gave you. My dealer told me the same thing 8-10 weeks. I ordered my truck back in November. Good luck the wait sucks!
