Rear Tailgate Applique!

[MDJAK]

I have my Gen3 coming in a week, it’s shipped, ordered 10/15. I actually like the rear appliqué of the Gen2 better. It looks squished on the 3. It’s not at all a big deal, just sayin. I wouldn’t want to delete it but would if necessary.

I have a truck coming this week with the Appliqué, its a dealer ordered truck. I would 100% rather have a tailgate without it. Black in Chicagoland if anyone really wants one.

37 or 35?

We received this today in regards to the Raptors we currently have on order! I am a Ford Dealer!!


The Rear Applique (standard on 801A) is going to be a heavily controlled commodity going forward. Below are your orders that have this currently on them. See if the customer would be willing to remove it so that it may schedule faster, otherwise that order may not schedule until the control is lifted (no time table as of when that will be currently). This option can be removed from orders by adding 66D “TAILGATE APPLIQUE DELETE - RAPTOR ONLY” to the order. Please try to make these changes by Friday 3/18.

Maybe you can also give us the dealer insight about the auto start/stop feature? Those of us who left it had it automatically removed off the window sticker. What are the chances it shows up with that feature?

Yeah wondering if I should explicitly tell the dealer I want to keep the appliqué, or if they'll keep it as ordered by default if they don't hear from me.

I notified my dealer to have it removed. I personally think the appliqué looks better on darker colors than lighter - had it on my Agate Black '21, and it didn't bother me a bit. But since I ordered a CO '22, I will just let them remove it.

you probably don't have an allocation...Also 5 weeks of Ford not scheduling for new orders is also frustrating! Most of the people who ordered in Nov or Dec may never see their trucks tbh....For the past two months I've been hearing the same thing from FP, "we are nearly complete finishing oct orders (who have allocations)."

My order date is 10/12 and my scheduled build day is 4/6, which has been pushed back twice now. I'm starting to agree with you because who knows when Oct orders are going to finish being fulfilled lol.

If they had an option to replace the entire tailgate down the road, I'd be down for that for sure. Doubt that's an option tho

I talked to my salesman today and he said Ford pulled their allocation for my truck.

My order will remain open and if/when they get the allocation back it'll schedule. I put $500 deposit down on it in October when I ordered. Not the news I wanted, but the news I was expecting at this point.

Again, that does not mean the dealer doesn't have an allocation.
I ordered in October, was told in december allocations are scheduled by region and dealer size, and have since heard the same thing elsewhere.
I am getting my delaer's only allocation.
We are supposed to get scheduled next month, but chips are not coming.
I also deleted all the extras, auto-start/stop, applique, and no spray in liner, basically everything that would hold it up.

called the dealership and had them remove it but now I regret doing it. First was auto SS then blue cruise now tail gate. Where does it stop. There is no credit for removing it either. I’m frigging pissed at myself. I think it looks better with it than without it.
