Buying a 2022 Ford Raptor

[@OnTaRgEt16]

Are u from Baltimore? I recognize the accent. Also, what do u do for a living?

[@410lifetravel]

Yes I am.. & I’m in sales

[@ponce1890]

I ordered mine a day before you 12/02 and has been built but sitting on ramp 59? Got an email last night that it was on hold for some extra QC stuff. I’m thinking on hold for missing microchips? Who knows. Still waiting for a delivery date.

[@410lifetravel]

Wow…lucky you. Yeah no build date yet. My Allocation is #3 for my dealer & his second allocation is getting built in April

[@johnnyfreeman1018]

You get it yet?

[@410lifetravel]

Haha… not even a build date yet

[@douglasfernandez7996]

I know you said your truck was ordered with a #10 preference where most trucks are ordered #13. I ordered my truck the last week of October and a November ordered truck with a #13 had a serial # assigned to it last week while I'm still waiting. I challenge my dealer and they changed mine to #10. I think that is just the order in which that dealer wants his allocations delivered . Have you gotten a serial # yet?

[@410lifetravel]

No VIN# yet probably March for May Build.

[@erin7995]

when are you expecting to take delivery of the truck did the dealer specifically say they had an allocation or did you just walk in and order it?

[@410lifetravel]

Ordered 12/3 & April-June delivery. My fiancé father is the finance mgr at the ford dealer

[@HKX_ORANGECHICKEN]

How many miles with a raptor last?

[@410lifetravel]

I expect at least 150k miles

[@douglasfernandez7996]

I put down a deposit mid September. Built and ordered mine the last week of October 7 days after the order banks opened and got conformation the first couple days of November. No build date yet. I have also made two changes since then but was told that would not change my spot in line. I ordered my 2021 Platinum Hybrid Mid February of 2021 and got delivery the last day in August and that was not a limited production vehicle. I will be happy if I get it in the spring. Enjoy the wait as you have not other choice.

[@410lifetravel]

Haha yeah… i got the confirmation # in 10 min after I out the order in. I figured I would get a build date sometime in February. I got mine from my fiancés father’s dealership he works at…. Hope you subbed & follow along.

[@douglasfernandez7996]

@@410lifetravel I'm thinking that most dealers only get so many allotments. My dealer who sells at MSRP had 3 last year and got 4 this year. I believe Ford would not fill their allotments in the first quarter but stretch them over the 12 months . My dealer filled his alloted orders for 2021 when the order banks opened but received the units all the way through the end of the year. May be you father in law to be has some pull. The normal customer order number is 19. The lower the number the better your changes are to get it early with 10 being the best and usually reserved for fleets. Mine is 19 so I am lumped in with all the other average customers even though this is the 3rd F-150 I bought from this dealer since 2018. Here hopping for you he has pull.

[@410lifetravel]

Yeah no doubt… it’s crazy

[@jalalayan4712]

So today I was going throu some KZbin videos and I heard Jim Farley said that apart from the chip shortage he starts to notice disruption of automotive parts. I start to think I’ll never get a built date.

[@410lifetravel]

I saw that also & yeah I feel the same

[@jalalayan4712]

🤞and patience. I have a friend that works for ford in NJ told me that the 37 packages get delivered at 9 months and the 35s at 6 to 7 months regardless when we get the built date. I never had a pick up truck or even drove one. So I am making the purchase based on how highly ppl are talking about the raptor on KZbin videos. So hopefully it worths the wait.

[@CreampieSamuri]

@@jalalayan4712 that ls some baaaaad info my man. I’m at four months since order and I don’t have a VIN or build date. They’re scheduling into April right now. No way anyone is getting theirs in 6 months.

@@jalalayan4712 patience.. ordered my 2022 w/ 37pp 12/2/21 and a vin# 2 weeks after. A build date of 2/14 then pushed out a week. Finally got built 3/15 and now awaiting delivery. Not too sure on when that will happen since it’s now sitting on ramp 59 awaiting some QC inspections. Most likely on hold

[@ndm8447]

Hey man do you know if the 2022 Raptor has a race red color available.

[@BeerMaker1271]

Race red was replaced by Code Orange

[@410lifetravel]

Rapid Red… that’s what I ordered

[@masong4023]

Yes!!!! Let’s Gooooo

[@410lifetravel]

Ohhh yeah

[@jalalayan4712]

I ordered mine on 12/06/21 with the 37 package and priority code 19. Do you know the difference between code 10 and 19? Do you think I will receive mine around the same time that you will receive yours?

[@410lifetravel]

Awesome…Priority 10 is best for retail order & 10 worst. Basically how fast ford will make for that dealer

[@jalalayan4712]

Also since you posted this video 8 days ago, have you heard any updates? This waiting time is killing me. I worry that our trucks are built and just sitting in a lot full of snow waiting for chips. Any info about that?

[@CreampieSamuri]

Codes 10-19 have no bearing to Ford, only the specific dealer that uses these codes in their own unique way. Most place all retail orders at either 19 or 10, but Ford doesn’t care what code you are. The Zone rep is the only person with that pull, and the ability to place you at 1-9.

[@jalalayan4712]

So considering that recent press release from ford, and horror stories I’ve heard from others, I’m really concerned about the dealer raising the price once the truck I’ve ordered arrives. Any thoughts or advice?

[@trxntroll843]

Yes. Don’t buy it over msrp

[@410lifetravel]

Yeah never buy over MSRP

I ordered in October with the exact same options as yours, even the color. I still don’t have a build date. The wait times are crazy, luckily I still have my 20 Raptor to hold me over.

[@410lifetravel]

Yeah… what priority are u?

[@BeerMaker1271]

Priority code 10, something on the 801a seems to be holding them up. I know of several people that already have their 22 model, but they all ordered 800a and few add Ons.

My 20 model is also rapid red, it has become my new favorite color.

[@jalalayan4712]

Does anyone know a way to verify(for SURE) whether my dealer actually has an allocation for my raptor order that they placed? My dealer has assured me that they do, and I have an email confirming my order, but I'm still concerned that they might not actually have that allocation and I'll be waiting for an eternity...

@@ponce1890 Mine had been on hold for over a month. Sitting in the secondary shop. My dealer tells me it’s my spray in bed liner. But the SVT team can’t tell me anything. Just sitting there, I would rather they ship it, I would do a linex

[@lmt40mm1]

So today my date was pushed out another month to 4/27. I called ford marketing and they were able to tell me it was the spray in bed liner. I asked them them to remove it from the order, they tried but could not because it’s already in production. So I now have to wait two months for this bed liner. You would think someone from Ford would have the forward thinking to call and ask if I would rather have the vehicle without it or wait 60-90 days for a 500 dollar bedliner you can get anywhere

What did you pay for it lol

Here in Canada for a similar build is 111000, with all taxes and fees! It is expensive but the f150 platinums are 92 000 plus fees and taxes ! Vechicles are crazy expensive!

[@hankspankemer3868]

Why did you cross out the pricing. It's no secret. I have the same order form on my 37 truck posted on raptorforum. Get the 37 truck. It's only 3K more and with larger tires, the wheels carry more momentum on rough terrain and provide better ride and handling. Also, add price increase of $880 your old price in December.

[@410lifetravel]

Didn’t need certain people knowing really & my pricing is solid… msrp. Fiancés dad is finance mgr . This is will a highway queen not to much off-roading. I drive in a city a good bit & this suspension will be gold compared to a leaf spring setup
