my theory on why 2014 production has been suspended......

[EVOVII]

this is just my theory no facts behind it so don't flame me. Opinions solely of the poster.....


so some dealers i have talked to during my search have said that they are on a "commodities" hold so that production is slow to stopped for now on Raptors. Basically they said they are missing a part to finish off the Raptor so it is holding up production.

My thinking is that FORD has good control of supply of "in house" parts. What they dont have as much control of are parts from outside suppliers like FOX. So I think a shortage of FOX shocks is holding up production. Now here is where it gets interesting. FOX is backed up because they are busy getting production up for 2015 RAPTORS!!!!


haha...what the mind does when it cant get of a hold of a 2014 Raptor

I think you meant to say 2016 Raptor

Great job spreading rumors. First, prove that there is in production slow down, and Then we can talk about a 2015 Raptor.

Cool theory bro

Your theory is correct, you just have the wrong part. FORD sole sources it's lug nuts from a factory in Crimea and Putin won't allow any shipments to the USA....

Only kidding.. I know your pain. Mine was built 2/14 and I still don't have it although it's ALMOST in Texas now. I call the automated train car tracking phone number every 2 hours lol.

My new Raptor was built on 2/29/14 and arrives 4/1/14, so I'm a happy camper! The salesman told be this new build on the factory line includes Fox shocks with the new QAB adjustment knobs, a Ford Race Series frame support and bump stops, and an OEM cold air intake.
