Order Date, Build Date, Current Status of your Raptor

It seems there are new staff for Ford Service Facebook. Usually it's always Sarah, Mackenzie or Mariel that replies to Facebook messages (at least to me), but today there's Shay and Jenna. And there's still no updates on my order...

I just placed an order today and I got some details from my awesome dealer who really knew the whole game well. By far the most informed dealer I have ever worked with. First thing his zone rep says, don't order CF and BL and it will get built quick.

I'm his 3rd allocation and this is the details he gave me for his first 2. (confirmed on FB group by one his customers)

1St allocation. Submitted early October, built mid December, delivered mid January.
2nd allocation submitted Jan 6th, scheduled on Jan. 12th, released on Feb 2nd, ETA delivery by Ford Feb. 12th. Now that one is FAST.
Neither of these had CF or BL.

I submitted my order today Feb. 3rd with no CF or BL. Zone rep is estimating about 7 weeks.

I won't even tell you what a fiasco my August 2016 with CF order was, that one went sailing into the wind. Starting over but feeling more confident this time, seems like Ford is moving them out quicker now without CF and BL. Good luck to everyone.

I'm starting to think the fewer options you order the more likely you are to get a fast build.

My truck is pretty much loaded and it took quite a while. I also think SCAB's are faster than SCREWS.

I think there are less scabs ordered too.

There was a post about how the original Ford service people were going away. They thanked the customers and said it was great serving you.
So something changed :-/

I don't know how much the options affect it. I ordered my SCAB on October 5 with just the 802A package and the dealership told me to expect it in April. A few weeks ago I went back and had them add the BL wheels. So far I have not been contacted about it causing delays.

On what I consider a good note the dealership received their first two Raptors last week and one had BL wheels. Not sure when it was ordered. Mine is their fourth allocation. They got four allocations total.

I'm right there with you on the forged wheel issue--I'm not convinced there is a "commodity constraint", and my dealer's first unit showed up with the beadlocks. Sounds like your dealer was very realistic too, with the timeline you just mentioned. Mine, not so much--July order date and ETA of January. Current status remains "unscheduled clean".
