Reliable source for delivery date estimate?

Who/What is Donlen?

so is donlen a ford generated document or a guess by a advertisement firm? I constantly hear "unless you hear it from ford it doesn't mean much" !!

 

Well, when I go to SEMA in Nov and the venders have the 2017s to show off their product I will be pissed.

 

They are a big fleet leasing company, so I think they would have good info. Also, they had the order banks opening date right.

 

saw the hertz name on the donlen info sheet. reliable info is hard to come by these days. still no HP/TQ specs out.. the rest of the truck info I got. order is in on 7/18 but would like complete info on what Im paying for. love my gen 1(which Ive had since 2010) but ready for a new one!!

 

Unfortunately it's gonna be hard to come by info at first. I went through this whole process ordering my GT350 when the car first came out. The only thing you can do is wait. Ford's whole ordering process is kind of a pain. I wish they made it easier to get info.

 

We had a much better process ordering the 350. The part that sucked was the wait after...had all the info we needed from an order perspective, just had no updates post order. And COTUS never worked for the 350s, and I suspect it won't work for the Raptor either.

It's all Mike Levine and his tweets fault

 

Priority 1-9 are reserved. Everything else is dealer specific and they can start their priority with what ever number they want. Priority level only tells ford what level of priority the order is within the orders from that dealer. If your dealer starts at 10 and you are 10, then you are the highest priority. If the dealer starts at 20 and you are 20, you are the highest priority. If I ordered from dealer A that starts their priority at 10 and I have 10 and you order from dealer B and they start their priority at 20 and you have 20, Ford sees these as the same level priority. I hope that clears it up somewhat.

 

does anyone have a status update on their order?

 

I ordered my Raptor on Saturday from a salesman that I've purchased trucks from before, thus a reasonable level of trust, and he mentioned that they'd just pushed their build paperwork into the system for October's builds, including numerous Raptors, and that he would expect mine would be submitted with the November build requests. Now, I didn't push him for details, and we've seen how complicated the scheduling process is from other members here much more familiar with the process than I am, thus I suspect that there's no guarantee that every request submitted for October will actually be built in October, thus up front delays could cascade into delays for me and everyone else coming into line behind them.

Now's the time to pray to the all mighty Ford Random Number Generator (RNG) God that the system draws your build number first

Respectfully,
