Those that wait it out will be rewarded with the new Raptor choices coming. I would have never bought a 17 Raptor.... let alone pay ANY markup on one.

All of you cancelling your orders are VERY lucky!!!! This is one truck mess to stay away from!
My truck was built on 10/27 and still do not have it eta of 2/7 now. The day I ordered the dealer filled all 4 of his allocations on the same day, the 2nd got picked up 12/22, and eta of 2/27, the dealer said they would get one in a quarter thinking I would have mine in November, hang in there, it will happen and you will be very happy. I have a buddy who got his in December and it is bad ass! No issues, and he also paid MSRP. If you pay attention to everything posted on here, most do not have a dog in this fight like us, but there are some people that are giving good advice and updates, hang in there.ZaneMasterX,
My dealer has 7 allocations, and I was originally #6. I have been told I've been bumped up to #3, for a couple of different reasons. I spoke with my guy yesterday, and he said that their first unit is on "delivery hold", just to give you an idea how slow things are happening at this modestly sized Pacific Northwest dealer. I also chatted with Ford yesterday, and they did indeed confirm my order is allocated by my dealer, but that it still resides in "unscheduled clean". So, taking the dealer, as well as Ford, for their collective status reports, I am due to be receiving a model year 2017 at some point this year....it just is exceedingly frustrating, however, that a July 30th order still has not yet been picked up...
May I ask you what issues you are having with your Gen2? I ordered on 8/17, built 10/27, eta of 2/7/17, 1st allocation of 4 for my dealer. Yes not happy with Ford by any means, but would rather have my truck right than with issues, also got it for MSRP, dealer gave me aloaner truck to drive till my Raptor comes end and has thrown in a few extras. If you have ever ordered a first or second run performance car it does not always go as planned. Hate it for the people that ordered from a dealers that had 20 or 30 plus allocations, if you are not in there first 10 or 12 you will be waiting, Ford will make the trucks right. Thanks
I do not and will not own a gen 2 Raptor, but I do have a Gen 1 (actually 2 of them). The new ecoboost engine has not solved the previous generation inherent design problems - primarily the condensate buildup in the intercooler that causes engine misfire. With that said, many of the gen 2 trucks were built, reworked, sent to a holding yard, reworked again, and then many more reworks following. That alone tells me there is a problem... these trucks will be headaches.... and most paid a premium for it. I hope I am wrong, but we will have to see.
