GEN 2 Truck Order Discussion

[dtt255]

You can get one for MSRP from Team Ford in Vegas, call Dennis Carroll 702-499-1903, nice guy. I'm going to make a vacation out of picking up mine.

Already done and done

With the removal of the graphics, I am only about $1500 above where I was before anyway.

Plus without the shipping it will be cheaper in the end.

Just going to rent a car, drive 3 hours to Vegas, and pick her up. They have an enterprise rent a car in the dealership, so returning the rental will be cake.

I talked to my dealer yesterday. He said his regional guy just left and informed them they are going to get 3 allocations the first year. Orders would begin getting pulled in Nov. He expects that those 3 allocations would be spaced through out the year. He also said not to expect to see my truck before January or February.

I expected that time frame. He also said that ford thinks 90% of the raptors would be sold before they even hit the lot.


Just my latest update.

Just finalized and put my deposit down.

MSRP. Number 4 out of their 12 allocations for the 2017 Model year.

Good luck guys.

Are dealers really wasting their lot allocations on your retail orders?

The smart ones seem to be.

how is that smart?

You first? but to drop the silly games.

My point is that Ford has stated that retail orders will be fulfilled. Dealer allocations are a different beast. So by giving you an allocation instead of just placing your order, they will end up with one less truck for the year. You are probably going to pay less then someone snagging it off the floor.

It also means that allocation will be built to your spec and not theirs. If you back out, they are stuck with it, but that is honestly less of an issue with the Raptors. Anyone backing out on any order would be a blessing for them.

I'm going with the thought process Dealer Allocation Orders will be honored before customer orders.
