This is the dealership I dealt with the last several days because they honored MSRP.

I even gave them my cc# to a deposit down. She made sure to tell me they shredded my card info. Hmm. Okay.

They had me by the nuts and told me they are in process of putting my order in until they sprung the “2.7 engine is on hold” mumbo jumbo. The 2.7 doesn’t have anything to do with the RR!

Told me the same, wait until October.

Seems a little sketchy to me

Hmm this is an interesting development. I was wondering when they would close the Raptor bank. If they truly were only building less than 3000 initially, it doesn't make any sense keeping the banks open for months. They would get like tens of thousands of orders they would never be able to fulfill.

Are they really closed or are some dealers not taking orders right now because their one allocation is gone?

Yeah, that is what I am thinking has to happen. If you know your allocations are already limited being a special model, it doesn't make sense taking so many orders, and pissing that many people off when their order will not be built any time in the near future. It would make more sense if they just kept a list of interested people, in case people who order, drop off.

This is the way.

I’ve reached out to many dealerships. A couple of the honest ones I’ve talked to were transparent enough to say that their allocations were non-customizable (WYSIWYG). And that if and when the order banks officially open (which they are not) is when the general public can start placing their custom orders at MSRP.

When I got mine, I didn't get to customize my order. They had already ordered their allocation. I could either have Black or White because that's all they had left. Luckily, I wanted Black with no options so it worked out.

When I ordered mine I could only pick color(Shelter Green). They said they couldn't add any options. It was the way I wanted anyways.

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 you'll get it this year".

One thing is for sure, not all of them had the whole single allocation thing communicated to them. I've found that the ones that did explicitly get told they'd only get one- those folks are only taking 1 order, while others are just submitting orders at will and saying they hope to know more soon lol

Seems strange that a country dealer that sells a dozen cars a year and a high volume dealer that moves hundreds are getting the same allocation 🤔

Why is that?

Quite the contrary it is a smart move by Ford.

Maybe...time will tell. Either way we are in for another disaster of a launch.
