GEN 2 Truck Order Discussion

[Prochargedgt525]

Ordered my raptor on the 22nd of nov and was told by dealer its in its way now. Should be here 27th-29th of dec. I really feel for all of you who had such crazy waits, mine was pretty painless. I also didnt get bead locks or the carbon fiber package, that may have spead it up some.


Xxxxxxx,



Here’s the latest update on your Raptor. Our system indicates it is in transit and should arrive next week. I’ll let you know once it arrives as we’ll need 24 hours to inspect it before we can release it to you.



Unless our system is wrong, the good news is it should be here before New Years!

It would appear that "The Early Bird does NOT get the Worm" in this instance. Bravo Ford.

Well I took delivery of my Raptor last night and it is every bit as nice as I thought it would be and more. I do have to tell you that it does take some time to get use to the sound after having a 2013 Gen 1 with a Roush exhaust system, but other than that it is so technologically advance over the Gen1. I have a lot of reading to do to figure out how to use everything. My Dealer did a good overview when I took delivery but a lot to remember. It was also interesting to see a sticker on the vehicle that said Ford pulled my Raptor to do testing and that they put 30 miles on it. My Dealer said that this is actually a good thing as my vehicle was test driven by Ford and due to that they did not do their usual test drive at the Dealership at my request. It was dark last night when I picked it up and today it is snowing so I will post some pictures this weekend once it clears up here in NH. It took a total of exactly 3 months from the time I ordered to the time I took delivery so I cannot complain but feel for all you guys that are still waiting as it is a long process for some of you but will be worth the wait.

What was your build date? Curious if there has been an October build delivered yet. Congrats.

Isn't that the truth! WTF Order when banks open, and move to the back of the line

Mine gets built Jan 13th and estimated delivery is Jan 21 to 27th

So I get a message today from the dealership where I ordered my Raptor way back in July that a "stock" Raptor landed on the lot today surprising everyone at the dealership. Mine was ordered "retail". Turns out the "stock" order that landed on the lot today has the Beadlock wheels that I had to remove from my order so that it could be picked up for a build which is now set for week of Jan. 9. Granted this is probably an early build Raptor, perhaps even one that was sitting at Dearborn for weeks that had to undergo retrofit for whatever was going on. Nevertheless, I cannot help but to feel a little irked by this. Although I know it will be fruitless, I have asked the dealership if they can swap out the wheels and put those on mine when it arrives. Not likely to happen, but hey, thought I'd give it a try.

Now that we know who was first, we should start a bet on who is last......mine will be awhile given CF and Forged.

I have CF and forged and will pick up tomorrow.
