    Saw this on a Raptor discussion earlier today.....can anyone confirm or deny?

    "We had our Zone Rep in for Ford this morning going over Fall build allocations ....he is telling us there may be a problem with the Carbon Fiber interior package. It falls under the supplier not being able to deliver on time. If this is the case which we should know more in the next couple weeks. We may want to change interiors to get it built this year, if that's your plan."

    I have the CF package on my order and love the way it looks, but I don't necessarily want to wait until 2017 to get my truck. Considering deleting it from my order to get my SCREW earlier.

    Thoughts?!?

    I deleted mine for the same reason. I can always add pieces later if I feel the need for them. I really only liked the carbon shifter.

    My dealer said he thought it was a supply issue, I deleted it from mine as well and they confirmed my order with Ford

    I just deleted it from my order to avoid any potential delays.....Ford is about to lose out on A LOT of $$$$ at $1,000/package.

    Realistically if you love the look that much just have the interior panels hydro-dipped or carbon fibre vinyl, a lot cheaper than $1000 and its not like we are getting the package for weight savings to be honest. the carbon is a money grab on behave of FOMOCO.

    Yes, I posted it was a delay as my dealer told me it would hold up my order. and a lot of people said that thats not the case on their order. but I just went to a car show in Dearborn mi on Sunday and saw my buddy that an engineer for ford and told me they are delaying all orders with carbon fiber option on the Raptor. So I've Heard it from a engineer and two dealers.

    Then it comes down to how bad do you want the CF package.

    Ford reps actually called their respective dealers in August and told them the CF was going to delay the production time. I checked today and they haven't changed the status of the CF.

    Checked with my dealer. My Raptor is scheduled for Nov. 7 with CF package. Moving forward 17% of Raptors can have CF package moving forward.

    CF has been a problem child since the beginning. Some get lucky and their orders get pulled with it, but most get told it's not available or will delay their orders, so they end up removing it. I suspect there's quality control issues and that once in a while, a batch is deemed acceptable to Ford, and thus those few who's orders get pulled at that time get it, but for most, it seems like CF is a show stopper.

    Seeing as my SCAB has yet to be worthy of a VIN, I added it back on. So here we go, how long will I wait now?

    Oh, did I mention I ordered July 18th with the CF and then removed it Labor Day, just to find out that SCAB's are on the bottom of the list for the first run? Fuck it.... back on it goes...

    Dropout, the Avalanche color you ordered is by far the very best looking paint job for the Raptor. It looks fan-fucking-tastic up close. People will be asking you what color it is on the street, The pictures do it zero justice.
