Dunno what it means when the window sticker disappears online but 2 other guys that this happened to had their Raptors released for shipment.

oh PLEASE let this be the case!!! I think with an 11/18 build date I'm right on the fringe of needing at least some of the retrofits, but it's all a guess for me at this point.

So my timeline has been similar to the other "early" folks though mine was an 11/18 build. I've been monitoring it and talking to Ford Service and all the usual stuff has happened. Had a build date, got a window sticker 1 week out from that date. Truck was built, then it all stopped. Been only getting TBDs from Ford Service ever since. But now I can no longer access my window sticker from research maniacs. I seem to recall others had this happen to them too, but I can't find that thread. Anyone know what this means? Or just yet another unknown step in this entire process?


Same build day as you. I was never able to view my sticker online. Had to get it from the dealer. I really dont think it has anything to do with the truck process. On Nov 28th I contacted the zone rep and got "Truck is ready to be shipped, it has already been received by the carrier company" I asked about the retrofit and he said no holds. I guess it was already done? Who knows. Dont stress about the sticker.

My truck was built 11/27 and currently shows awaiting shipment with a transportation delay. My Ford rep told me my truck is delayed for "retrofit". I'm thinking some of the retrofits may be option specific.

Messing around with ETIS, If you go to vehicle, then resolved publications and enter vin. Do you get any results. I currently display Diagnostic (14)

I didn't think they could do that. I thought they couldn't reduce allocations unless the dealer gives them up.

I dunno, hopefully thats the case but what if Ford cant support for some reason.?

My order is still in the system and valid, fingers crossed.

Actual allocations that are sold can't be taken back. That being said some dealers sell trucks that they don't have allocations for in hopes that they will get more allocations. On a normal truck, they usually do. The Raptor seems to be very limited allocations. If they sold you a truck for an allocation they don't have, they may be trying to back pedal their way out of the mess. I hope that's not true, but I'd be asking a lot of questions at this point.

I have a diagnostic 14 also. Not quite sure what that means.

Build date of 11/21 here - was told my truck is awaiting release from the factory and no ETA. Guessing mine is a retrofit model.
But hey, my dealer did post a generic ad for it online, so I guess that's progress
