Raptors are shipping!!

@yenrod
I know how you feel. I've been through a ton with my 2012. As odd as it may sound, if I hadn't gotten the truck, my life would actually be pretty darn different now.

Are you / have you contacted Ford Service about the order or VIN?

Well something happened today. Ford Service said I have no change to my status (it's been built for a month now) but some Raptors are preparing to ship.
I checked etis and it said "ACCESS TO GOASIS (196)" in a red box that used to be green
Also, when I check for my window sticker, that was there before, it says there is no window sticker for the vehicle
Anyone have any idea what all this may imply?

I am not completely sure, but I think that section of the page gets it data from a different system. It seems that system is not reachable sometimes for some reason. I think this is the case because when the page is slow I see the following section quickly before it goes red.



If the backend system is up then it is able to show the status.

@yenrod
Yeah, I checked today before I saw that the window sticker went away and they said nothing changed.
I guess I'll just have to check again tomorrow when they're back online.

My dealer told me from the order date, could be nov, dec, or possibly jan. I want it and need it like a hole in the head, but I'm good with this timeline, sooner would be better though.
My guess is you seem to be in the pretty same holding pattern, but it will happen soon I believe. I think there is an almost self-perpetuating "problem or delay" when everything is still on their original schedule. It is simply a lot more information at our fingers, I love it, but it can also create issues as well. Opinions vs A-holes, we know the rest...

This entire launch has been a shitshow. I feel bad for the guys that have had money on the line since July and still don't have any information. This is a Ford F150 for christs sakes. Its not a Noble M600. Hopefully Ford gets this crap figured out and starts delivering trucks soon. I would be pissed if they end up making everyone wait until press can drive the trucks first.

My offer stills stands. First person in SoCal to get a 17' hit me up. I want to ride in one and see whats what. Beers are on me. Or juice if you're into that sorta thing.

From 2017+ Gen2 Raptor Discussion group on Facebook.

A friend of mine is at dealer owners meeting and he got some good photos and intel. He also was taken on a ride and got these pics! Ford said Mexico dealers would start receiving trucks in December which would be after the US received its first distribution. There was no mention of any production issues or concerns.

^^ Great news! Thanks for the information as always.

Dannm that blue is sexy

It was Ford's plan all along to get trucks out by late fall.

Not sure where all the rumors originated about early delivery......
