Yes sir I saw that. I should have been more clear. I meant more so stating that dealer ordered ones (not retail) aren't protected. I have deposit on one is why I am getting worried. Hoping dealer just does me right.
I just found out I got the shaft: My order went up in price retroactive to my build

Gotcha! Doesn't go more into detail about dealer/stock orders. Since you have a dealer order, your window sticker will be updated to reflect the new price increase. That is all done by Ford when they issue the window sticker.

"unjustified price increase" I'm not sure if you have been living under a rock the last year, but prices are going up on everything, not just raptors. With that said, I miss the good ol' days of Trump!

Bunch of people on the Facebook group that went into production this week and got a window sticker are showing the increased MSRP. They are all Retail orders. According to them Ford is aware of it and will issue a rebate at purchase to reflect pricing before the increase. Not sure how true this is.
Why Ford just re-invoice the Window sticker to the correct price? That seems a lot easer than rebate?

Honestly I think it is just the system not realizing when the order was placed, and it just creates the window sticker with the updated pricing. Super annoying if you ask me, because there is always that 'not knowing' if the dealer knows that they're doing situation lolWhy Ford just re-invoice the Window sticker to the correct price? That seems a lot easer than rebate?
That is for sure, we all know these dealers are creative about ******** people.

From blueoval forum:Why Ford just re-invoice the Window sticker to the correct price? That seems a lot easer than rebate?
Your retail order is price protected to the prices in effect on the original order date. When the vehicle is produced, the Window Sticker will show the prices in effect at the time the vehicle was produced. Your Dealer will handle the price protection adjustment through an accounting adjustment process with Ford.
Update:
Yes, I was issued a VIN. However, at no point during the process when I placed my order on January 8th was it explained to me that this is a stock order and not a retail order, or even that there was a distinction between the two, and what the implications of that were.
For those of you referencing my comment on an 'unjustified price increase', let me be more clear:
Ford already increased the price of the Raptor once going into 2022. Ford usually implements another mid year price increase, but not to this extent. They rarely if ever do so in Feb, at least according to one of their sales managers I spoke with at another dealership.
In addition, my comment was based on the fact that they're literally taking away features on the truck and still justifying a massive price increase ........and some of you think this is perfectly ok all in the name of inflation.
Maybe instead, some of it has to do with union labor and the inability to get their damn trucks built according to any kind of deadline.
I took my issue to ford customer service and it was fruitless.......no email for ford corporate......no number to discuss this issue with anyone higher up.......nothing except an address in Dearborn Michigan to write a letter to and a number for their marketing dept.
So that's what I'm doing.......fwiw.
I've called my dealership 4-5 times and left two messages with the GM to call me back to address this issue. No return call yet.
I emailed my sales guy today, who insisted this is not their fault and that this is Ford's doing. I responded simply that it was on the dealership to let me know back in January that this order was not price protected and that I didn't have a retail order, and that I'm not paying the extra $3300. Mind you, I gave up a 37 package that apparently is price protected so another forum member could have it, thinking I'll get the 35 package and all is well.
For those of you here who seem to think that this stupidity of ADM's and people paying stupid prices for vehicles will continue, I guess we shall see. I frankly don't think it will and that this time next year will look very different.
Regardless of supply chain issues, auto lending is tightening up.......it started two weeks ago. A friend in finance who purchases the 'paper loans' after customers get the loans and buy the cars has noticed a sharp change and is predicting a major correction coming soon. Even if it's not a major correction, there will be something significant.
In 1-2 years, many people will be upside down on these loans.
Between a change in lending, coupled with a probable marked increase in the price of gas, I don't see a laundry list of people who will be lined up to purchase Raptors , TRX's, or anything else getting 10-15 mpg by year's end, but again, who knows.
All I know is that this experience with Ford has been horrible -- from the dealership to the subsequent attempts to actually contact anyone at Ford to help remedy this.

I’m from Canada and I just got my sticker today with blend date of 03/04
My sticker also shows price bump by 3K (including discount for blue cruise) so total hike must have been 4500 or so from original base price. (ford Canada website we can’t build 2022 yet lol)
My sticker shows ‘Special Order’ I hope I‘ll be getting original agreed pricing. I already got price bump when they changed my order from 2021 to 2022
