If you got a build email, what was your Priority Code

[Bt_okst]

Thanks BT. Just to be clear, "if" all dealers are only getting one Raptor allocation then a Priority Code of 20 would be the same as 80 because there are no other vehicles to compete against?

Theoretically that's correct. Unless they enter more than one stock unit.

So correct, If they enter only the one order. But if they elect to put in several built differently to try to get one sooner, priority code could matter, as could how it was built. Options, color, etc. With multiple entered stock orders, the priority code could be more important.

So your assumption only applies should they enter only one stock Raptor in at this time.

Some dealers may go ahead too, and place several orders and put the priority code lowest on the one they are giving their #1 on the list just so they could give each person a print out and retain the customer as a committed client. But this is dangerous as commodities, and constraints can also make one stock order be built over another and outflank priority code.

Because of this, my dealer is only submitting (1 ) stock order that reflects how I wanted mine built. That way it is the only one in the system to be pulled when it's time for their orders to be evaluated.

But.. I can't tell you all dealers will do what mine did for me or have the understanding of the process to do so.

Like all professions, there are some that know their business far better than others abd some who are far more honest and ethical with their customers.

On these type of situations you need to find both a knowledgeable dealer but also an honest one.

They are talking to their Ford rep after the holiday to ensure they've done things correctly with all this misinformation out there. If I find out that they were wrong and the bulletin they received on Raptor orders no longer applies, I'll post such.

Otherwise this should be good info.

All points taken - thanks again!

The dealer can change the priority code, if you ask them too.

emailed them this morning and requested it...the response I got back was
" I am not currently in the office today but I will be happy to find out that answer for you first thing in the morning on what we can do for you regarding your priority order code if that’s okay "

My build sheet says 10. The email didn't have it. The email went to the dealer (who forwarded it to me), but had my name on it. Not sure if they goofed up the email or if I'll get one directly later.

My priority code is 20. My dealer told me since it was a stock order that I would not get emails from Ford but that he would send me updates as they get them.

I was the only one who inquired about the Raptor but several others put in orders for other trims.

My dealer got the email but I didn’t. So that makes me feel better.

Dealer replied this morning and said
"The order code 19 that you saw is the temporary code while putting the order in the system. Now that it has been placed your code is now 10 and your order number is XXXX"

So I'm assuming I'll receive an email today

I am priority code 10 and my dealer got the email this morning not me, but it’s the exact email that Ford sends to customers

My dealer relayed the same info. Priority Code 20 on a stock order. He wasn't able to submit a retail order.

Is your preview order number 05XX in order by time do you think? My dealer didn’t get my order in for an XLT until today and my number is in the 8000s. Still a pretty low number if their output at the factory is good. Thinking we can get an idea on timeline to delivery.

edit: looking at my order form, the time stamp is about 5 minutes after yours but my number jumped up 8000. Wonder if all the orders got processed in that time frame.

Doubtful, mine is 6001 and was entered 5/26.

Mine was on 5/26 also and is 0012, don't think it means anything.

I received confirmation today from my dealer that he placed the order for my Raptor yesterday. He confirmed mine is the only order they are putting in as I was first and they only expect one allocation. Gave me the order preview sheet with order number and priority code 20. He also explained what many have experienced that he was not able to place a retail order and had to place a dealer stock order so no emails directly to me and no price protection. He will update me monthly moving forward. Now that my order is in, I can go think about something else for the next 6-12 months and then be pleasantly reminded that I ordered a Raptor whenever it comes in. Good luck to all of you!

My stock order is a 20 priority per the dealer.
