I ordered my GT350 in 2019, and I tracked the progress of the build. That was 7 years ago, and I forgot how the tracking progress started.
I ordered the Raptor one week ago.

I'm in no hurry, but I am wondering how the notification to future owners occurs now?

I recall entering my VIN from the Shelby daily while checking for updates on a Ford site. I memorized the VIN, and still have it memorized seven years later.
I am excited about the Raptor, and it will be the best daily driver I have ever had...!!!!

You'll need dealer order number XXXX and can be a combination of alpha and numeric characters
You will also need your VIN which be will created once dealer order is picked up by Ford
The Ford Order tracking system can be found at Ford.com
Good luck

The dealer just sent me a text saying: "... because Ranger Raptors are considered 'specialty' vehicles you cannot track them like you did before."

Has anyone tracked theirs recently?

I am currently tracking my 2026 RR order in the Ford Order system
Are you tracking it using the VIN?
If so, how long after you ordered it did you get the VIN from the dealer?

To track your order you need your order number and the VIN
BUT
Ford will not assign your VIN until Ford schedules your RR a build week
And that unfortunately can be a wait depending on your dealer RR allocation

Whoo-Hooo....!!!!

I just received an email from Ford with a VIN and a "scheduled" production week of 05/04/2026.

I realize that the absoluteness of the build dates are about a stable as a bowl of Jello strapped onto the fuel tank of a badly tuned Harley Davidson.

But I'm patient.

My scheduled build date is week of 3/30. The next big wait will be how long my RR stays in build status. Could be 3 days or weeks

I scheduled back in late August! Dealer has no allocations, even for 2026's. The wait continues

Ouch... that hurts my friend... that was seven months ago.
I would look for a Raptor in a different state. I have heard more than one issue of dealer ADM and lack of availability in your state... California seems like a different country sometimes.

The Ford Tracking Site still says build date of 05/04/2026.
My GT350 build date was pushed out about six times during the last thirty days from the original build date.
So far so good, but time will tell.
I'm already shopping for modifications.

Does anyone know the Ford website that can track a build with only the dealer code and dealer order number. There once was a site that had all the info: if/when unit scheduled, week of build/day of week build, unit status (sent to uplifter) in yard waiting shipment and even carrier info. Thanks
