Well guys this may be our lucky day!!

I did my daily dealer locate for Raptors without spray liners today. This is the FIRST time ANY Raptors without spray liner have shown as "transit". AND there are a few of them showing transit. I looked at a few of the invoices and they are later build trucks. So I doubt they were sent for upfit.

This could be the good news we've been looking for!!

Almost all of them were built in December. A few built in the last few days of November and one as early as Nov 15.

Out of curiosity, if you plug one of those VIN's into the dealer vehicle visibility tool does it show an ETA? Wondering if/when a truck ships if the dealer will have the ETA or if it will just show up on the doorstep one morning.

Thank you for taking the time & effort to keep us informed!

HIghly probable that some'll get December built trucks before many early run trucks are delivered. Still an extensive backlog of upfits/repairs in the yard @ DTP.

FMC Dealer still showed no love for my 10/20 build today. No spray in liner either.

This is a great question. Second the request.

Gladly.

Our vehicle visibility only allows us to look at orders placed by our dealership. So other than checking the locator for orders placed as "stock" orders through other dealership I can't help with stats for anyone. But your dealer with have that info and can give it to you.

Likely that some'll get trucks before many of the early run trucks are delivered. Still an extensive backlog of upfits/repairs in the yard.

I posted in another thread that it appears current builds are shipping right out and I'd assume they will be shipping the upfit units as they get finished. So yes later build orders will be arriving before the early build units.

Our first unit that was built 10/17 still shows in production. So I'm sure it's off site being upfitted somewhere.

That truck was built about 6 weeks before my truck. It will be interesting to see the timing of when the two arrive.

Does the 10/17 truck show location of Ramp 59? Do you know if that truck has always been at Ramp 59 - or like others have posted, has it gone "away" and returned? Again, just curious... thank you.
