This is what it all came down to for me. All the current data we have shows that unless there’s a significant unexpected economic or supply chain change, these things might actually be harder to get as time goes on. I mean just look at the Braptor. Over a year later, still impossible to order at...
Has anyone seen any photos of the Ranger Raptor with the OEM beedlock capable wheels on 35 inch tires? I've been waiting to see if anyone's done that but can't find anything. I might pester my wife to photoshop them to see how they'd look lol. I've been bothering her about wheels as well, I had...
AND SO IT BEGINS. Kidding, hoping this is a simple fix my friend. I'd say most of us here don't have em' yet so maybe a facebook owners group in your area would be beneficial?
Yep.
Though I did have some dealers throw a fit about allowing the customer choose the spec because it was "risky" lol. Before I found mine out of town, the local dealer was insistent that I order white because Shelter Green was too much of a risk if I didn't buy it.. I was like.. WHAT?
Every dealer in WA that had one, already had it spoken for when I called. There might still be some out there, but you'll have to call out of state and try to get lucky like I did last week.
I can't speak for everyone else here who have successfully submitted "stock" (dealer) raptor orders, but in my case and many others I've seen- if the dealer submitted an order in your desired specification (or even their own specification if they didn't let you pick), you should be able to...
The preview sheet should still list an order ID though? It's just a stock order so you can't necessarily get any email comms or anything for it. But You can still use that order ID to call Ford Marketing and confirm its in their system. They just need a sales code and order ID, both listed on...
huh- so all that “once a VIN is assigned we can assign it to you” talk to wasn’t accurate. Go figure- will just wait till the dealer to keep me posted then
At what point would a VIN be generated? Start of production? I was hoping dealers would just flip the orders to retail (I’ve heard they can but not sure)
I went on a calling spree about 3 days ago. Wish I could send you a video of my phones call log, you can scroll endlessly through all of the numbers I called lol. Usually I’d say “my understanding is each dealer got a stock allocation” and about 50% of them would say “we’ve got nothing yet”...
I didn’t know about the 3k units thing, that’s interesting- but it’s just odd that so many dealers can’t order/say they haven’t gotten allocations yet. I’ve talked to GMs and sales managers at like 40+ dealers that say they never got even a stock allocation. Not to mention all the folks coming...
A small town dealer I talked to had no one call about the RR, and allowed me to submit a stock order (priority 20) with them- but the GM was very frank with me in saying: "I don't think we're actually going to get one, we never get specialty vehicles and ford never sent us anything about it"...
What I've found after calling every single Ford Dealer in CA, MT, OR, and WA (not kidding, I took off work recently to track one down lol I'm slightly ashamed), is that the 1-per dealer stock allocation is true IF the dealer actually was allocated one. Of all of the places I called, it was about...
There are dealers that I spoke to that were willing to take orders with my build preference and submit them, with the full transparency that it's likely they might not be built any time soon. Literally like "hah- I've sent in like 5 already, doesn't hurt to submit one more I just can't promise...
I secured a retail order last week for MSRP in AL after calling around the country and using the markups website. I was good with waiting for a long time, and then randomly thought "why not start looking again for a stock order and see if I can get lucky and get into the first batch". I found...
