Mine was built the same week as yours. I took delivery in April. I would call Ford @ (800) 334-4375. Your Dealership could pull it up on vin view. You could always shop around to find one currently on the lot with the options/colors you want.
That "Marketing Department" at 800-334-4375 is useless. Mine has been "In Production" since 6/3 and I have called that line, done the Ford Chat thing, and my dealer has made a bunch of calls too but nobody at Ford gives a crap enough to get answers.

The Ford Marketing team opened a case and has to submit an inquiry to the "logistics team" but can't say when or if there will be a response. For me so far, after numerous inquires to that "logistics team" over the past 2 months I've got no info. The dealer is just as annoyed as he's called their Ford field sales folks, too, and as he tells me, either they don't care to help or they get roadblocked by Ford's lack of process to obtain info from the plants on vehicles in production.

The Special order I gave up on has a blend date of 02/01
It arrived at the dealer 07/25
Repainted hood stained paint and plastic parts
I would not have wanted the truck after seeing it.
It sat all winter and spring in a parking lot.

My Ranger Raptor has been on order since last August and "In Production" since Feb. Just really tired of waiting and it's not good business for Ford to keep long time customers in the dark. Is it time to buy a Toyota? Ford obviously doesn't care or I would have been told what's going on by now. Guess they figure if I don't buy it, somebody else will. Suggestions???

I ordered my Ranger Raptor on July 10, 2023 and it built in early March 2024. I received it on April 29, 2024. I ordered with no options, but have since installed the Ford Performance Mud Guards, a hard folding bedcover, and amber LED Raptor grill lights. No regrets! I kept my F150 for 2 months, just to be certain which truck I wanted to keep. It was worth the wait to me, also my dealer sells at MSRP (Belk Ford, Oxford, MS) all special vehicles.

Congrats on your truck, but I think it’s fair to say op has shown a superhuman amount of patience already
IDK man, 435 days of wait time paid off. The wait is getting better. I would say just wait. Or if you don't have the patience, just go find one on the lot.

FMC monitors this site and trust me, they don’t give a F! I ordered in May of 23. Had to drive 14 hours each way to Booneville, MO to deal with clueless amateurs. Love the truck but the “company” behind it are disinterested reprobates. Jim Farley should follow his cousin Chris’s example. Over-promise/under-deliver is Ferd’s mission statement. $10 a share for their stock tells you all you need to know!

I would look for one at a dealership. There's no good reason for that not to be in your possession right now. My truck took 9 months to arrive and was held for 3 months for a quality assurance check. After all that, I have a myriad of fitment issues, paint warranty to be done AND a propeller shaft that has been replaced once and is scheduled to be replaced a second time. I'm considering trading mine for a 25. Hopefully the kinks have been worked out by then.

It’s been sitting on a lot somewhere in Michigan since February. I’d bail just because of that. it probably has a rusty drive shaft (common in that build timeframe) and paint damage from exposure. That’s not even considering the actual reason why Ford Has been sitting on it for seven months, there has to be something major wrong with it or they would ship it.
Rusty driveshaft is common for literally all of them. Mine didn’t sit at all and had a rusty drive shaft. Due to the material they used they will all have rusty drive shafts pretty quickly.

For what it is worth, West Herr Ford of Hamburg, NY has a white Raptor in stock at MSRP. Not sure where you are but if you are anywhere near Western NY, they are a great dealership to work with.

Either you have an option that cant be installed (doubtful) or something is really messed up with the truck at this point. Ford doesnt care about you, neither does any other car maker to be clear. You are a rounding error to them. The fact you think Ford cares is the issue, you wont find any different else where beyond the fact you may get a car sooner.

As far as your truck, people saying the drive shaft being rusted (they will all rust) or paint damage (nothing a good wash wont fix) is whatever. I dont necessarily believe AlpineBike about what the dealer told him about that truck, but its possible.

You can find ones at MSRP around, just do some searching. Id wait it out if you can, otherwise if you are tired of waiting go find one already built.
Don’t believe me?
Take a look at the shelter green R Raptor in stock at Lamoille Valley Ford in VT.
Ask for Greg or Chandler…

Sorry to hear of all your trials and tribulations, it’s hard to deal with for so long. We came from a couple of Jeeps, a Tacoma and a 2.7 Bronco Badlands Sasquatch. First jeep was fine, second one a diesel was wonderful when it ran, myriad of electrical issues that left us afraid to take it out in the backcountry for fears of not getting back. The Tacoma ate gas like crazy and the seats and seating position were bad, I hated the transmission and drivetrain, always shifting and underpowered. Knowing that and having had our Raptor for 3 1/2 months and pushing 6k miles, I’d go looking for a Raptor, for me it’s that nice. Good luck! Oh yah, the Bronco description, we liked it, but we love the Raptor , it’s a lot of fun.
