Possible Future Raptor Owner from LX Forums

Today, Friday, September 16, 2011, is the build date for my own 2011 Molten Orange SuperCab Raptor.
Hope the work force isn't focused too much on the weekend.

Salesman called me today.
The ETA is for the week of Sept 26th. That's seems fairly soon to me. Of course, it will extend my work week from 5 days to about 50 days.
I asked about Line-X for the bed. He checked and called me back with a quote of $500.
I then asked the charge to Line-X the fender flares. He will get back with me.

Today is the 26th of September, the supposedly week of my Raptor delivery to the dealership.

Any bets?
Today dragged on for about 48 hours... Too bad I can't turn in the preceived work hours; I'd already have 4 hours of overtime this week.
If this would continue, I'd have enough overtime to for a healthy down payment.

Should be pretty close to that. Post up some pics when you pick it up!!

I picked up a "buyer's order" from the dealership yesterday after work.
Today I took the buyer's order to my credit union today at lunch.

The salesman told me my Raptor is scheduled for delivery on Friday (Sep 20th). We'll see.
I want to have Line-X put in the bed prior to me picking it up. So... we'll see...

Will I close out the month of September with my new Raptor, or it be bringing in the month of October in "pumpkin" fashion?

There will be no September joy. Just got off the phone with salesman.
Today my Raptor was on a railcar in Tennessee.

There is still about 450 to 500 more miles to Jacksonville, FL. And even if it gets to Jax later this evening it will probably be left in the rail yard until Monday. (I believe it's a union work constraint. The dealership tells me that they don't get vehicle deliveries on the weekends.)

So... my molten pumpkin will, appropriately, be delivered on Jack-O-Lantern month.
