Doesn't it that mean, no allocation for stock inventory. But if the dealer custom orders one, why would Ford not deliver it?

they will,........... eventually.

as randy stated above, each reigon recieves the same amount of allocations, how those allocations are divided is the question. if the dealer has no allocations, they must not sell a lot of trucks. from what i have seen, dealers who sell a lot of trucks get more allocations faster. same with other vehicles. just because a dealership sells a crap load of mustangs, it doesnt mean that they will have more raptor allocations.

this is how i percieved the info, but lets hear from someone who really knows....

I don't know either but I don't get too scientific about it. I think it's 1/3 about big dealers moving a lot and 2/3 luck of the draw. I'm trying to be patient but it is hard and not one of my stronger points. I think growing up poor and always budgeting and waiting has made it hard for me now...I bought the GT500 off e-bay in Dec. 2006 just because I didn't want to wait...and paid a premium. I'm trying not to do that now but the fact I am not buying mods up like crazy is killing me. I am convinced it is in my best interest to do bedline/rug and rust proofing first...mid perch etc. before I run out and buy exhaust and the other fun stuff....but damn it's hard to wait.

My dealer called, they claim to have escalated, they think my order will be pulled tomorrow or by next Thursday at the latest.

The really good news is I was driving past Joe's Crab Shack this afternoon and I see they are giving away free beer tomorrow!

Luckily I have not sold my current 6.2 10 yet so I still get to enjoy a Raptor.
