I agree with Striker.. you might want to ask them for your DORA asap. I am assuming they had it at 99 to show you everything and once you left submitted the order. A code of 99 will never get built.
From another forum "2. Priority Codes. This is listed on the far right upper portion of a DORA. It’s also on the dealers print outs of order status. This only applies until a unit is scheduled. Once assigned a VIN this doesn't mean anything anymore. The codes start at 1 and run to 99. A dealer can only assign between 10 and 99. A 99 order can't be scheduled. I use these for people that tell me to get them a unit on date (later than normal orders take). I put in a 99'd order so I have what they wanted in the system and don't forget about it and then change it to a buildable priority when time comes they're ready for the truck. The region (or other Ford divisions) can prioritize below 10; I've only seen a 01 priority below 10. They do this in the event of something unusual; most orders never see a priority 01. An example is if they're manually scheduling (like the First F-150 for each dealer, or first year T Birds) or if it’s something that needs to be urgent (first order destroyed in shipping, etc). Again I normally only see this a few times a year. Also if you do get a priority 01, things usually get scheduled fast even if you have some hard to get commodities (but not hold items). More on commodities later. I believe that the under 10 priorities go first through the allocation system. Other priorities are to organize what order the dealer wants the trucks in. These only affect that dealer and have no bearing on other dealers. If a dealer only uses 50 or higher, another dealer that starts at 10 won't get his trucks any sooner. This system is to organize the order so they are "in a row" for scheduling. That way in the first pass of scheduling they only look at 1 truck per dealer, then on second pass look at 2nd one. Regardless of what the number actually is. If 50's the lowest at dealer a and 10's my lowest, they are both in the first pass, and are equal to each other. More than one order can have the same priority. If this happens the system looks at order types and then order date. Retails take priority over stock and oldest takes priority. For example: order 1234 Retail order date 9/3/03 order 4321 Retail order date 5/5/03 order 5555 Stock order date 4/4/03 The Retail orders take priority. and then oldest order comes first. So the system would look at these in this order: Order 4321 because it’s the oldest retail at this priority order 1234 2nd as it’s a retail order 5555 being a stock order its 2nd despite order date. Also Priority can override stock, retail or order date. If a retail is priority 20 and a stock is 19, the stock tries to schedule first; the retail and date thing only applies to orders with the same priority number. So the big thing I want everyone to know is don't get too worried if your not a priority 01 as this is very rare, also don't worry if your not at priority 10, I start my retail orders at 20 so I've got some room if something comes up that I need to prioritize under my current orders I can. On Fleet orders, none of this priority stuff applies. The priority codes are to control build date and are a letter and a number that correspond to a build month and week. This isn't to get stuff quicker but actually slower. Often fleets will order in January and not want the units for a few months. I can order so it can't be built until later so it will arrive in time but not overly early. Fleet units don't compete with retail or stock at all for scheduling as fleet comes out of their own pool and not from a dealer’s allocation."
I ordered my raptor Sept 9th. My dealer told me if I put $500 down it would move up my priority. Sept 30th I received my VIN #
Striker It's a chore helping the uninformed isn't it? I'm hoping to be able to track my truck once build week starts. Got a build week of October 17th and a build date of the 19th.
Got this status update from my dealer late Friday.... J005 1 41 145 L4 N6 RB 802A G 10/31 SCHEDULED TBD 1FTFW1RXXXXXXXXXX I'm really hoping that 10/31 is the build week, though I would have hoped the dealership would have clarified that in their update. Of course, the TBD confuses me. Do I read this.... 10/31 SCHEDULED or SCHEDULED TBD ??? Guess I'll be on the phone to the old Ford SVT Customer Service line nice and early Monday morning trying to find out more information. Damn, maybe I'll get an actual HALLOWEEN RAPTOR out of this grand adventure. How cool would that be <lol> Either very cool, or I'll be plagued by demons for the life of the truck <ack>.
I ordered a loaded blue one to, and the dealer called me about 3 weeks ago and told me the carbon option is on a big hold and would hold up my order so I deleted it. Might want to check your dealer and ask unless you don't mind the wait.
Has anyone heard of the carbon fiber option holding up there order? My dealer call me about 3 weeks ago And told me the carbon fiber option is on hold and is schedule for late production.
I had my dealer specifically check on this and there was no hold on CF. If there is a problem when they try to pull your order they will contact the dealership to see if you want to remove the option. That is what my dealer has told me (and I was relentless ). I think the CF shortage may have hit the first guys to have ordered but anyone getting into late November or December production date will likely get what they wanted as that gives the supplier lots of time to build. Not to mention, many of the early guys dropped CF because of this very issue.
I ordered mine the day the order banks opened (I think around July 19th if I recall correctly) and had the CF option. I still have the CF, I got my VIN and my truck is scheduled for build Nov 14. Honestly I think from what I'm seeing from others, the initial orders build dates (whether in Oct or in Nov) are because of body type (crew or scab) and color. For example, it seems a lot of the peeps I see posting for the AG color are being built Nov 14th week.
Makes Sense to me - im Avalanche Grey and i was told 2nd week of November. I was waiting list since Feb - order in first week the books opened and priority 01 from dealer. A truck by Thanksgiving would be awesome but im thinking more like 1st or 2nd week in DEC. Christmas present at worst..
