    For some, the wait is over! Several photos on Facebook showing trucks on lots, matching dealer in-stock and window stickers. Also, more showing as released and shipping. Early build guys may not be ecstatic as they are shipping as they are coming off the line. One I reviewed (there were two on that lot) showed a build date of 12/2 and was delivered on lot 12/6... basically less than 4 full days!!! Verified at dealers in North Carolina and Ohio.
    Ford also announced through multiple news outlets they are shipping the build up of F150s/Raptors hoping to get most out by year end. There are several thousand going through the retrofit process and some of those will end up being delivered into the new year.
    As of now, the production issues have been identified and addressed so new builds are ramping up and being shipped. Great news for most, but some early builds may still have a bit of a wait.
    Good luck to all that have ordered and waiting.

    Great to hear my build date was 12/6 so maybe it will be a merry Christmas.

    I DON'T believe it, I called Ford SVT yesterday morning at 10:00 cst. The guy stated my truck has been released for delivery, BUT no trucks have shipped so far.

    I saw those pictures of Raptors in VA as well. I went to that dealers website. For the Raptors it says "Dealer Ordered" and not "In Stock". As we all know...there is a difference. They haven't shipped yet. Read news articles from YESTERDAY saying they're being held for "glitches" with the 10 speed transmission and hoping to clear out their backlog by the end of the year.

    Just got off the phone with Ford Performance....1st, no update on my vehicle since November 3rd. 2nd, he did see one vehicle arrived at a local dealership yesterday. So they are going out....just not the early builds.

    Nice to know that my truck has just sat in a parking lot for over a month with nothing being done. #sarcasm

    If I had a Gen1, I'd sit on it and let the dust settle on the Gen2's for a year.
    Given that I don't have a Gen1, I'll carry on with my purchase, but I'm going to fight like hell for a free extended warrantee.

    What leverage is there for us October builds to get an extended warranty

    We are at msrp , they can sell our for more once truck is on lot. I would think dealer allows us to walk rather than pay for extended warranty

    I like the idea just not sure dealer gives a flying F^#}

    Obviously incorrect. I think Ford shows everything up to released/on carrier well but ETA's aren't very accurate yet. I expect with your build date you will receive sooner than early builds buried at the ramps
