*grumble* Well, it's been another week without a pull for me.

I'm starting to seriously consider moving my order to another dealer and getting a better price. The reset on the wait time would suck but...hey, I've waited over two months already...what's another three or four more, right?!

All you folks getting your trucks...post more pictures! :-D

8-9 weeks isn't that long. Just hope that once it gets built, it gets shipped in a timely manner.

Yeah, don't jinx us! LOL!

Hello all, I'm new here but just wanted to share my ordering experience so far.

I ordered Feb. 25, got my VIN Mar 15 with a build date of April 6. I have been checking for my window sticker daily and finally it showed up today. Hopefully will show up at my dealer late April. Now its starting to sink in that I'm really going to get a Raptor

You got your window sticker 8 days before your build? It definitely says 4/6 on your window sticker?

Just brought her home, smiling ear to ear the whole way. Told them to not even bother putting the whip on, just threw my Euro Style on right away. Not like it matters, like I'm going to use am/fm anyway.

Pulling out of the parking lot and I'm thinking Man, this thing is super sluggish, what gives? Took me about 15 seconds to realize in my fiddling with the dials while it was off I had left her in 4 low, doh!

I've got to say, I'm super happy I did NOT get the blue interior. Yes there is a tiny bit of chrome that I would rather was brushed aluminum, but overall it's very nice. MyFordTouch feels sluggish, but we all knew that. Going to check for an update tonight.

Nice weather here today, cruised home with windows down, sunroof open, and rear window open.

Slightly frustrated with the dealer, the "walkaround" lasted all of 5 minutes so that he could move on to another customer, and to top it off they lost my owners manual, though they promised to get one for me. I could tell they're busy, and I know they got to make a living so I guess I'll give them a pass on that if they get me the (correct) manual in a timely fashion. On the plus side, they didn't even try to pitch me the warranty, maintenance plan, or anything else I didn't want, so in that regard it was pretty painless.

Only thing I've noticed that's bugging me so far is that there is a scratch on the clear plexiglass over the instruments. Not a huge deal but now I notice it every time I look there. Think that's worth getting fixed?

If Im reading it right... Is this uncommon?

Another variance of when the window sticker becomes available. I guess everyone in the future will be checking at least 8 days out now.

Has anyone else seen their window sticker 8 days (or more) in advance of their build date?

I know I'd be complaining about an obvious scratch in my new 50K truck, especially one you'll see every time you drive your truck. If it's not too bad, I would think they can clean it up some. If not, and it's that obvious, I'd be pushing for a replacement piece.

That plexiglass SCRATSCHES super easy. Get it replaced as you will def scratch it later if you ever try to clean it.
