Like many of you I have an order sitting in purgatory for several months waiting to be scheduled. As such I decided to try and find one on a dealer lot that matched my specs so I could get it sooner. I started searching cars.com and autotrader.com and eventually wrote a script to automate the process. I hadn't intended to release this, but given that so many people are getting shafted by Ford and their dealers I figured I would in the event it might help someone.
A couple disclaimers up front.
1) Just because it's on this list doesn't mean it's still available.
2) I don't list every available option (e.g. - spray in bedliner), but will start adding them if people request them.
How it works is it scans autotrader.com and cars.com every day for all the 2017 Ford Raptors. It collects the VINs from there and then searches the Ford ETIS system to get a detailed list of specs that I then parse into individual options. Please understand that I am not handing you a tool that gets you the Raptor of your dreams for $10k under MSRP with no work. I am simply giving you the most complete list I could find of Raptor VINs and breaking them down by their options. You'll still need to call the dealers and try to work something out. FWIW, I have called about 12 dealers who had Raptors that matched my specs. Most were sold at $7-10k over MSRP or were customer orders. The best deal I've found so far is $5k over, but your mileage may vary.
