No just the stock wheels. I have not been able to get my sticker either, I've been checking 2 time a day. But I will say that my dealer checked for me and gave me the 3/27 date and said delivery would be the week of 4/15. I'm still wondering. I need to buy a plane ticket to go get the new raptor.

Oh yeah, you're traveling, that will be fun! Some guys on here have been able to pull up their stickers right at 7 days before build date. Others, much closer to production date. Further, Ford Service (for whomever finds value with them), says the window sticker will not be able to be generated until the actual day the vehicle goes into production. Further yet, Ford Performance told me the window sticker "usually" does not pull up until 1-3 days before build date. The truth is found in a range.

Thanks Autophanatic, I will just keep checking and be patient. I haven't been waiting near as long as you.

Information on window sticker

If this has not already been said. One thing you can do to see the window sticker. Got to a dealers website and click the link to view the window sticker. Then up in the URL bar click on the link towards the very end of it you will see the vin # of the vehicle. erase that and put in your VIN# then press enter it should bring up your window sticker

also any dealer that say they cant pull the window sticker is telling you false information if the vehicle has started production. Once Ford accepts the unit and begins production it will then show up under their vehicle locator as being built, if there is a VIN for the vehicle then there is a window sticker. simple as that because ford has started production. then step two shows in transit which starts from the day it leaves the factory. The transit process goes from in transit, then it will arrive at whats called the railyard( the area all vehicles are dropped off before the are transported to the individual dealers) once a vehicle is at the railyard it takes on average 72 business hours to 5 days max unless there is an issue with some of the vehicles and ford is holding them from being released. which is not the case with the raptors. I work for a Ford dealer in DFW, TX and we currently have 3 Raptors coming in Blue, Magnetic, & White.

As for delivery dates it sounds like what the dealers are telling you is correct. We have two of the 3 arriving by 3/25/17 and the last is in mid april. So id agree with the arrival dates just not the window sticker BS. Ford Customer Service is terrible don't rely on any of there information.

On another Note :)
If anyone is looking for a Raptor feel free to contact me at (AskforJared at Gmail) or PM me I will send any information on the Raptors or am happy to answer any questions or concerns anybody may have. I will also happily sell anyone who has been looking for a Raptor!!
Or possibly a different SVT Ford Focus RS, Shelby GT350 & GT350R. We have all vehicles available the GT350R is available for Order.

The waiting is terrible, but I almost think that those of us waiting since July have been so psychologically assaulted that we are largely numb to everything at this point :win:.

Got my window sticker today and build date 3/21. Both came from my dealer. I checked after his email and it came up on, Research Maniacs ford vin lookup.

Interesting idea on the window sticker pull up; could definitely see how that would work! Doesn't pull mine up though; still receive, "Please check back later.
The window sticker has not yet been
released for this vehicle."

My truck hasn't entered production, so I trust that the dealer is telling me the truth when they say they can't pull it up either (I asked them to do so on their end 2 days ago--no dice). Production date is still almost 2 weeks away.

Once the production starts thats when a VIN is created for the vehicle. As soon as a Vin is able to be given to you then you will be able to pull up the window sticker. Until that time it will just be the build sheet. But the vin replacement trick works I used it quite often when I first got into the business

Autophanatic,

I think your dealer is telling you the truth. I had checked with mine earlier this week and said he couldn't pull it up yet and he would keep checking and then it came up today, On the sticker it says 3/25/17 for build but he said the site they use says build start is the 21st. I don't think there posting them all a week before the build.

I would say your truck will be built when they are telling you. If your dealer would check with the regional rep you would know for sure.

Not me..............believe a window sticker is not available until a short time before it is built? The Ford Direct approach does not work for me either............
