Welcome all fellow 12/5-ers. Hoping this bump holds.

...I have this vision of all the latest base wheel Raptors sitting in a parking lot with no spare tires, so they can “produce 25% more vehicles” in a wheel constrained situation (based on latest constraint rumors)....
I wish I wouldn't have read that! I hope Ford didn't see it and get any ideas if it wasn't already on the table.

Sorry about that!! Land Rover has been sending out their Defenders with one key to keep deliveries flowing. Asking for the key to my wife’s Defender made this nightmare scenario dawn on me this morning. Ugh.

Lol, so you’ve received zero email? How is everyone else (non Raptors)getting email updates “built/shipped” but both of us with Raptors are not...f’ing Ford 😂

Edit

Just called Ford performance and the guy told me the same thing “produced.” So I said it’s built and he said “well, it’s showing produced.” He wouldn’t say that it was built, just kept saying “produced”
No email yet, but I only got emails on 3 of 6 scheduled week changes, so that didn’t bother me too much…..yet.

I’m pretty sure there’s a clear technical difference between in production and built, perhaps “purgatory” fits? Of course, it seems like “purgatory” exists at each stage of the process, so I guess that won’t work.

Oh well, nothing I can do about it but sit, wait and obsess 😆

I finally received my email from ford on Wednesday, first day reservation holder turned GT Raptor, build week 12/5. From one purgatory to another!
Well that means Granger got at least one more allocated Raptor a build date. Congratulations!

Yes it does, had to switch to the beadlock wheels like some were saying on here to get it done. So now I continue to wait but at least I see a faint light now at the end of this tunnel!

Me too. I did get my order placed for the G87 M2 though. I’m not 100% sold on it but wouldn’t be surprised if it gets delivered before my Raptor gets scheduled

I was getting e-mail updated from Ford, each status change from accepted to shipped. Never got the picture coming off the line, or delivered. Glad the wait is over. Hard to keep the smile off my face when I am in it.

You have any update on your raptor? Just called Ford Performance and was told it’s “built” but has not been released, eta has moved to Nov. 14-28. No reason was known as to why it hasn’t been released.

Just chatted Ford Performance…

Still saying it’s “Produced and waiting to be released for shipping. ETA to the dealer is listed as Nov. 12 to 18”. No reason.

Asked about difference between Built and Produced, Produced meant off the line, nothing clear on built, but told it was basically the same thing.

Ford Tracker still saying it’s “In Production”. I’m guessing once it’s released for Shipping they’ll consider it built, but just a guess.

Also not too optimistic on the shipping date rang as 18 days to dealer in California seems close to a best case scenario forecast.

So who knows what’s up.

I let myself get a little optimistic, should’ve known better by now.😂

Yup. Me too. Ordering stuff was pure hubris on my part!

Installed a winch plate, camera & sensor relocations and a winch on another Bronco this weekend, so I’ll be ready to do a quick install when this shows up someday.

What’s really going to hurt is five days in the shop getting ppf right after I take delivery, but then it will be mine all mine!

Every "level" of status has its frustrations as I'm sure you know. "Released/Awaiting Shipment" is the next gauntlet for you to go thru, and I was in that boat for roughly 6 weeks. Excuses focused on the lack of rail cars, rail workers, and also due to embargoes on sections of road out of service on the way to California. Who really knows...

Now I've been officially Shipped, but at nearly 2 weeks into the rail shipping process, my rig has only gone from MAP to the major rail junction at Blue Island, IL. Every time I think I'm getting somewhere, it drags out ad infinitum. Oh and my delivery ETA has moved to the right twice.

MAYBE our rigs will just show up tomorrow out of the blue, but I doubt it...
I was in the same boat with status stuck in Blue Island. I called the number for Union Pacific, and it told me that it was loaded and on its way. If you haven't had any updates then you could try that to see if it works for you as well.
