More pictures of Raptors sitting @ Dearborn

I know this is frustrating for y’all waiting for ordered trucks, and there’s not a whole lot any of us can say to ease that frustration. Gen2 had similar ramp up delays, hit up the search engine for “Ramp 51” :-|

They’re trying to get the trucks out the door.

They're on the ships outside of Long Beach and LA harbor, LOL

That’s likely the explanation. Ford probably investigated multiple reports from already-delivered truck owners about damaged flares and discovered that many or most of the remaining flares sitting at the plant had issues. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ford told the supplier to deliver a new supply asap without the defects.

Sounds a bit like the Bronco hard top scenario, but on a much smaller & hopefully easier scale to sort out.

A new car has roughly 30k parts, so this isn't surprising to me. The vendor most likely had a bad batch of flares and is making new ones ASAP.

Or...they are addressing the peeling paint issue on several of the flares.

I’ve got a brand new spare right rear flare with marker lights from Ford that I’ll sell back to them for $10k so they can get that much closer to selling one. I have to wonder if it is the marker light holding things up.

Whelp my Velocity Blue is sitting there somewhere.....still in production since 9/23 lol. Oh well the longer they take the more money to put down on the vehicle I suppose....however I am down a vehicle now since my other half decided that it would be a good time to rear end someone else last week. Hell body shop work is almost a month or more out to get a vehicle in the shop for repairs....having that truck now would be a huge help for transportation.

Of all the parts to be short on, I still scratch my head about fender flares. There must be one small plant making them or something?

Have they tried calling Shahid Khan…???

The father of a buddy of mine lives in Dearborn and took these pictures yesterday. Like the previous photos posted, it appears as though every one of these is missing the fender flares. He said there was security everywhere and he was quickly asked to move along after snapping the pictures. He said there had to be 200+ Raptors sitting there. Think about the math... 200 trucks @ a conservative $85K each = $17 million dollars!!! Wow!

There's my code orange sitting there!

I just hope they ship before the winter comes and my truck is sitting in 3ft of snow rusting away.
