Inventory popping

[wc901]

Keeping fingers crossed that this trend continues, but today as I searched dealers around me in different major cities, I noticed inventory on Fords website of Raptors popping. What was zero to 1 within several hundred miles the last few weeks is now in the low double digit range. Maybe we get a Christmas miracle after all.

Unless the ads have a picture of the truck on that dealers lot, I would use caution.

Agreed, along with the ******** that show a truck in their inventory that was actually ordered by someone else!

Nothing like calling 20 different dealers and finding out that not one of the vehicles they have advertised are actually available!!!

Yea there's a few in my local area, but less than 10 within 50 miles. Take it with a grain of salt because if you actually pull up the stickers and track each order they probably haven't shipped yet.
For example there's one truck down the street that was ordered and built after mine but on the tracker it's already shipped and going to the dealer. There's a handful of other around my same production date that have ETA in January and are still in production

Same here. Called about one in Lugoff, SC to not only find out was ordered by someone and wasn't for sale but that it was also sold at $20k ADM. They did say they had a black one available, also at $20k ADM...

I think that these trucks show up on their sites regardless if they are customer ordered or not...and the dealer has to remove them. At least that's what my dealer says.

Definitely double check even if they let you put a deposit on it, if the window sticker says special order someone ordered it.

Had to let my dealer know I had a deposit on mine when it arrived, if I wasn’t in fairly constant communication with them and let them know when it arrived I could see someone come in off the street and buy it.

I have heard the same, but was checking mine as it was being delivered and even after they checked it into inventory... never showed up on their site.
