List of Raptor VINs w/ Specs + How to Find a Raptor on a Dealer Lot
A few weeks ago I built a tool that scanned autotrader.com and cars.com to get a list of Raptor listings. I took the VINs from those listings and looked them up on Ford's ETIS system and then broke down the specs by options. I put all that on a website so people could use it to find a Raptor on a dealer lot with a certain set of specs. After scanning for a few weeks I realized that there's a pattern to the VINs. I looked up how VINs are structured and figured I could scan a certain range of possible VINs in a reasonable amount of time and have a relatively complete list of Raptor VINs. So, I updated my tool to include the full list I scanned.
With this information you can do all sorts of mostly useless things like figure out how many Raptors came with moonroofs, how many were built in February with beadlock wheels, how many were shipped to Kuwait, and more! And as always, if you click the checkbox marked "For Sale" it will limit the results to only VINs that are listed on cars.com and/or autotrader.com. Keep in mind others my be "on sale", but not on those two sites (hint: you can Google VINs to sometimes find the dealer website).
Please note that the only information I have comes from Ford's ETIS system (https://www.etis.ford.com). That system doesn't seem to show build dates that are in the future (only in the past). So, if you were given a build date a month from now it will likely still show as pending. That doesn't mean your build date is wrong, just that I don't have access to it.
