First Deliveries and Delays

I'm with you crash! Positive vibes! Next week will be a month since your truck was built. Pretty sure ford should have been able to work out any issues by now. Mine was built 2 weeks behind you. Fingers crossed!!!

 

OMG, opening day for white tail is next week so that means nobody works till after the holidays, sorry. LOL.

 

Gentlemen,

I talked to Ford Services last night and they told me no one is getting their truck. All our wives and girlfriends beat us to the joke and told Ford to hold on to all the trucks until we behave ourselves. Hell, even Mrs. Santa is in this madness!

Calm down brothers, we will get them soon. I am a month out for production and no VIN yet. You fellas don't see me freaking out...

 

im pretty sure not everyone at the frigin plant is a hunter!!! besides I'll be in Dearborn for thanksgiving and I'll pick the dam thing up myself and drive it back..

 

Gdog, tow mine back will ya? Or use mine to tow yours back, I don't care just get it back to Colorado. OBTW, it is Michigan... Colorado is to weed, Michigan is to hunting. Name a state that gives days off from school because it is deer opening season...LOL

 

Texas or at least Dallas area schools give kids day off to attend State Fair
Not the same though, huh

It feels like we are stuck in a bad dream like "Groundhog Day". Same story everyday

My GF is even wearing on me on updates now

Ford should have a support line we can call

 

Well Gents, I called Ford Performance this time to get an update. I have to say they were much friendlier then the general customer service line.....LOL.
I was told the truck is showing in production, Dearborne - Ramp. I asked what exactly this means and I was told: The truck is waiting to be shipped if it shows ramp. I tod the Rep that I had an ETA already and he told me that it now shows TBD, they probably held back the shipment to make sure it passes additional quality controls. I was told that because its a re launch they probably want to make sure they pass quality standards before shipping. I was also told that he feels that they most likely will start shipping in the next 02 weeks. Funny how that coincides with the beginning of December....HUH.

Ford Performance 1800-367-3788, Select option 1.

 

Thanks for solid intel counselor

 

Welcome Sir.

 

Thanks JD.. Solid info is much appreciated.. Especially considering we don't get shit from our dealers..

 

I have repeatedly spoken to my dealer on a Raptor ordered 08/29/2016 and latest I was told was in production 11/04/2016.
I called today to Ford Performance which I thank you guys for the number. They are definitely more helpful, but told me in Production Unscheduled stage which only means will be allocated a build date in window of 2-5 weeks.
Then it has to ship to dealer then onto water to U.K.!
Long wait ahead?

 

So talked to my salesman who called his rep. His response was he believes they are too wide to fit on the transport trucks. I'd hope Ford thought of this before if it is true

Just wanted to pass what I heard.

 

I'm ok with that. I'll happily fill out the paperwork, pay for it sight unseen, and then fly up to Detroit and pick it up. It would be a great 10 hour drive home. What a day that would be

 

I'm with StrikerHawk on that one. I would gladly fly in and make it a road trip, Hell Yeah. Lets make it a Raptor rally in Dearborne!

 

Salesmen can be idiots. Ford shipped thousands of Raptors from 2010 through 2014 that fit on transport trucks. The new Raptor is the same width.
