Update from ford.

[ec99]

I do realize that this is a raptor thread but it interspaced with raptor order and non raptor purchaser comments. if you placed an order months ago it is being scheduled to build starting with the Feb 26 build week and further out, and even some even sooner in
Are and a rare few to be built in Jan, most orders that did not have any constraint problems or dealer allocation are being picked up now, meaning if your build has all parts available and your dealer has location for your build it is being scheduled, if it is not being scheduled there his a problem with those 2 mentioned issues. just because you placed an order with your dealer does not mean an order is ready to be accepted for production, again constraint of parts specific to your order will cause the order to not get a build week schedule, and more importantly if your dealer does not have allocation you do have an order placed but it will not be scheduled or built until allocation becomes available to that dealer.
many people like to say "I placed an order on such and such a date, many months ago why have I not been given a build date when others have a date and they ordered a short time ago"
the answer is you may have an order in the system but until the parts on your build come available or your dealer gets an allocation you have a rather worthless order. the dealer depending on his allocation may not get allocation for your order until 2025

If the Ford chat is telling me my order is “waiting to be scheduled for next available build week” does that mean I have an allocation or are they just leading me on?

I believe your order does have allocation

Somebody will surely correct me if I'm wrong...
But If you are getting communications direct from Ford then you're in as a retail order. If you're in as a retail order, as opposed to a stock order that's been "promised" to you, then you got the one retail allocation that each dealer received.

Mine has said that since November, still no build date.

I can't find the thread, but a while back people were saying you needed your order number and something else for ford chat to look up your order. I just can't remember what it was called.

I think it's your dealer's sales code. Thats on a document in an email you should've gotten shortly after the order was placed.

I never received the dealer sales code, but Ford chat was able to figure it out for me. I provided my Order ID, and they were able to find it with that and either my name or the dealership name.

When you placed your order did you get a copy of the order form?

Got the same e-mail last night.
Got my Vin and production date from Ford Chat in December.

Nope, I only received the order confirmation email from Ford. Ford chat confirmed it all for me, think it is a Priority Code 03?

Also received the above message Jan 3.
However, I am at the factory ( Not MAP) and checked scheduling computer and find the Raptor already has a VIN and is scheduled for build in March.
The VIN was issued in mid December and also noticed it originally was scheduled for Feb but changed to March.
The message from Ford seems to be pointless in my case.
Another thing odd is when I try to use the public Ford build tracker it will not show up.
Wonder if this has something to do with it being a Raptor?

I got my VIN and build date (2/26) from Ford chat a few weeks ago. Finally got the official email from Ford today with the same build date. I'm sure they're scheduling them in their system, but waiting to inform customers incase things move around.

That's exactly what happened with me. I took the one allocation the dealership had. We spec'd it out to what I wanted and, to my surprise, I got an email directly from Ford two days later. I got the notification for my build date of March 25th, two weeks after that.
