I ordered raptor 37 with allocation this Morning and had raptor order confirmation email from ford. but is any way I can check the dealer really order with their allocation or not?

Nope. Not until you get the build schedule and VIN.

My dealership provided me with the email of their regional zone rep(the person who gives the dealership their allocations) and I contacted them and got the specifics of how many allocations for 35s and 37s the dealership would be receiving for that particular drop of initial allocations.

Nope just the word of your dealer unfortunately.

If I have Vin number in 8-12weeks then they order with allocation.. if not then... they just took $250 deposit... ??

I confirmed my allocation the way i stated above and received VIN 3 weeks later.

They’re really not supposed to be end customer facing (basically serve the dealership). I know who mine is but would still try to exhaust working through dealership first. Don’t want them to end up like those poor guys at Ford Performance with 100s of people calling them daily.

Well you can ask for the sales manager to confirm with the zone rep they actually have an allocation for a 37. TBH, highly unlikely that your dealer still has a 37 allocation. Allocations were released in October and only ~25% of the allocations are for 37s…

Likely they just put your order in without an allocation…. Hopefully they will get a future allocation and hopefully it will be applied to your order. Last year dealers only got allocations once. They don’t know yet if they will get anymore. Let’s hope they do.

While yes, it is unorthodox it’s probably the only real way of getting “confirmation” unless u really really trust your dealership and their word.

Your dealer can still lie to you if you ask them to confirm with the zone rep. They call up the zone rep and ask if they have an allocation, the zone rep says negative you do not. The dealership then turns around and tells you, yeah we still have a allocation. It is that easy. How are you ever going to know the dealership is lying?

They only way to confirm an allocation is if you ask the zone rep yourself but good luck getting that information from the dealership. Most dealerships will not give out that information.
