GEN 2 Truck Order Discussion

LOL, I'm pretty sure a clock has nothing to do with the metric or imperial system and relates to the orbit and rotation of the earth.

Being Canadian (who also lived in the US) I grew up with both systems and we tend pick and choose up here. For measurements and math purposes the metric system is superior. For some reason however when we refer to weight it is generally in pounds, my kids even do the same. Height of a person is also in ft / in rather than centimeters. We're basically metric when it's convenient.

DING, DING, DING! I could not say it too much better

MY17 production start is listed here. Updated as of 9/23.

Ford-Lincoln Trucks (Build Out Final Order Start Up Dates) - Donlen Corporation

Now when MY17 Raptor rolls off is a good question. I have seen others post build dates for 9/29 and for every week leading into November.

Hopefully we hear about job 1 rolling soon.

this has probably been covered; but what does "job 1" mean?

I probably a little off, but I believe its a reference to the start of the production of a vehicle (first vehicle to start)

I'm looking for a hard and secure tonneau cover for my 17. I don't want a 1 piece, I want something that folds/retracts/rolls, either or. Anyone have any suggestions?

I originally had 9/26 build week, but it got changed.

Someone posted a build week of 9/26 but I can't remember who. Lots of others have 10/10, 10/17, 10/24, etc and into November.

I ordered from a small dealer in PA on 7/30/16. Earlier today, I received first word from the dealer since my order was placed, scheduled to be built on week of 11/14/16. Truck is a supercrew, 820A with beadlocks, Avalanche Gray.

I ordered mine today.....kept it simple. Silver Supercrew, 801A, and Front Torsion Diff......and thats it. Dealer had 3 allocations and I got his last one, paying MSRP. How are you guys able to check on build dates and status?

Avalanche is off white,not grey, on the Raptor.
