Raptor Shipping Delays

[nh rapta owner]

You need your order number and the dealer code. If you have a VIN number, that works too. Call SVT and give them that information and they can tell you your status.

I just got an email from my dealer and he forwarded a message that he received from Ford's shipping company. It says:

"Rail car shortages have slowed transit times during the early part of 2014. The shortages tend to be most severe in the first quarter of every year, due to higher industry volumes, inclement weather and transplant OEMs fiscal close. This year’s persistent extreme weather across most of the US and Canada has amplified the typical rail car shortages and affected all manufacturers."

As far as shipping goes, it went on to say this:

"Dearborn Truck Plant (F150): There are 1,300 F150s awaiting shipment. Roughly half of the units will be shipped by this coming Monday, June 3rd. The remainder will be shipped in the next 30 days."

Sooooo, it looks like if anyone's Raptor has been built, it could ship Monday or up to 30 days from now. Kind of a good news / bad news situation. I hope everyone is on the good news side.

This just plain sucks because my dealer emailed me today and said july del. WTF about ready to jump off a cliff.

My buddy in Canada ordered a truck on April 17th. It was built May 26th and delivered to the dealer on the 30th.




Guys, you gotta realize- DTP builds 1,320 F150s PER DAY. Its gotta be a logistics nightmare trying to ship that many trucks all over NA.


I know its easy for me to say now, but you gotta be patient

I don't mind waiting. That's just part of the experience. But if I knew when to expect it at my dealership, that would make all the difference. Mine was built on 5/7 and has been sitting in Melvindale since 5/13. It is what it is. I'm just looking forward to that day.

Mine sat for 16 days before it shipped. And my dealer is only 1.5-2 hours N of DTP

Got an email from my dealer today, said truck will be here in 1 or 2 weeks. That's a bump up of almost 4 weeks.

Hi everyone,

As a reminder, I'm happy to provide you with updates on your truck's status. PM me your order number and dealer info; I can also use your VIN if you already have that.
