My dealer told me they are not allowed to order a Raptor without a live buyer because Ford does not like the Raptors being marketed over MSRP. Amazing how many different stories are floating out there. I just hope i get a production date this week. Still listed Clean Unscheduled sigh

Mine showed up today as "In Production" even though the projected build date is next Monday. Delivery date is still 10/25.

As I reported, the site (https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#/status) has been working for me, even showed my window sticker. According to the site my 10/1 build date got moved up from Monday 10/1 to Friday 9/28. I've checked it daily since then, and it has shown "In Production" for the last five days now. I did not option for the spray-in, saw that mentioned as a day or two delay.

I know they make a truck in 24 hours, so I think we can say that shop.ford.com is not exactly accurate or real-time.

You posted your blend date is 10-07. That is really the production date. The tracking is mis-leading by stating production, until you hit your blend date you are not being assembled. My blend was yesterday. Unsure when it would have actually started but I will check on it a few times today. As mentioned before I also have the bed liner option, not sure if they will include that in the production time since it is done after the fact. I did notice yesterday that 10-2-18 showed up just under "In Production" on the time line bar thing (see pic). Not sure if that was there before yesterday. Does yours have a date in the spot? That could be the way the site notifies you that you are truely in production.

In my opinion they should have Processing, scheduled for production (which is where you are), production, waiting ship, shipped, delivered. And really they should have cameras in a few spots on the line that snaps pics and posts to the site. Not hard to do at all. I guess the reason they do not do that is the fact it likely would not result in more sales, only a perk to those who would have ordered anyhow.

Not true, mine changed and it was not a Thursday.
If your unscheduled and waiting to be scheduled it’s Thursday’s. Waiting for pinpoint production changes or ETA it can be any day

WOW! Where are you located that you're getting your truck 2 weeks after your production date? Very nice!

I am an hour from the plant, however I had to go to Cinncy to get the best deal. The truck will have about a 4-5 hour ride south. No trains, going on a truck all the way.
