I bet it was amazing!! Even more amazing now that Ford and GM are cutting back plant hours again.

Who wants to take a guess how long these will be sitting mostly built at the plant before getting their chips and delivered?

So if you get a 2021 delivered in 2022 is it still a 2021? (not a serious question)

Yes had a very unique opportunity to go inside the production. But was surprised about every 5-6th one off the line was a raptor. There making around 600 f150 a day. Less than half of what they used to make. There shut down now till next weekend. Mine is around 2500 down to be built. Even tho my “in production” day was 8/30/21. Blend 9/1/21.

Nice... my production was supposed to start yesterday with Blend date on sticker today. Though I know they aren’t working today so will seeing when mine will end up built.

Don't be surprised. The raptor is a high profit margin item for ford. This is why more options are now standard and why in this time of cut back production they are concentrating on higher end models. (they make more money off of them)

Never seen a raptor 37 before. Couldn’t believe how tall they sit. Would say as tall as my F250 Tremor.

They wouldn’t allow cameras on the floor. Very strict.
