Quicksand,
Did our trucks go through some random inspection that others dont? Seems like most ship out within a week after production. I have lost the will to fight at this point. I am just trying to pretend I never ordered it. I told the dealer not to call me again until they were holding the keys. Had to move the Stealth front bumper to the barn because I was tired of looking at it. Mine is a tux screw with no graphics. Appreciate the offer to help Randy. Will call you if it doesnt show by March. At what point would you guys just decide to wait and order a 2013? My order date was 9/15.

Built 24th and arrive tomorrow...will believe it when I see pics.

Spek, I think we just got hosed. The week off in late December for Ford holiday matched with our build dates beng the first week in 2012 (first week back to work) probably created all sorts of havoc on the line and afterwards with organizing. I'll bet this is a major reason for our truck delay bc a lot of guys trucks were built last week are getting them next week. Again, we just got screwed/scabed.

Something happened early/mid Janaury b/c my truck was set to arrive 1/16....now ultimatley 2/16 aka one month delay. It really messed me up.

I called my dealer today and he is avoiding me. I simply want him to aknowledge receipt of my email yesterday where I (the customer) sent my salesman (works for customer) an update on my (the customer) truck arrival. BS. But at least its in writing as evidence for those of you who know about "going to legal war".

I asked that my salesman either respond to my email or find someone who can. Otherwise, I also have nothing else to say to my salesman until my truck arrives. If he doesn't call me when it should be there....I will show up in person as I already bought my plane ticket.

So upset after all this--so upset. and it cant be made up even with a Raptor bc when Im driving around I'll think of how much shit I went thru to get it and how it should not have gone that way for folks like us bc it didnt for SO MANY OTHER RAPTOR OWNERS!

Just wanted to say 3 things:

1-Its almost Tuesday and I get to call SVT.

2-Im getting much closer to seeking Randy's help for delivery info as my dealer is still quiet. I might wait until the end of the week fyi.

3-My salesman was going for the Patriots bc he would bet on them against the Broncos....and he is in CO! I was for the Giants. We see who won the Super Bowl tonight. :peace: Take that ****** turf tool shack salesman!

Called SVT this morning. They told me my truck has been moved to the rail yard. Only took 32 days after production to get it to the rail yard. SVT said it should get on a train in a couple of days. Will believe it when it does. Have not heard from dealer in 2 weeks. Sounds like maybe I might have a truck after all.

Thanks for the update Spek. Im waiting until tomorrow to call SVT to get a status update. I hate having to bother them btw. But since my salesman isnt talking and I cant just hop in the car and drive by te dealership, I really dont have a choice in the matter.

I calculate the rail just missed the big storm that hit CO last week as it was still North of the storm at that time and I estimate if the Truck hasnt arrived at the shipping yard yet.....it will by tomorrow.

I currently live and have lived about two miles from a major pacific train route for 4 years + lived about a block (SUCKED ASS) years ago to a major train rail......it doesn't take more than a week to get product from Michigan to NM fyi.

My truck STILL isn't scheduled to arrive until one week from this Thursday 2/16. Days shy of 16 weeks since order date. By my estimations I'm either going to get it 2-3 days sooner than expected OR it will sit in the shipping yard for up to 5 days and arrive on 2/16. But dammit, it should only be about another week!!

PS-how long should it really take my dealer to install Bed-Tred THEN F1? They told me maybe a day. I want to be sure if it takes less time or not so I can plan pick up accordignly.

Should be about 2-3 hours max for the BedTred and 15-60 mins installing the BakFlip
