Greetings,
I am new to the forum but ordered a new Raptor from the Dealer in Late April.
Unfortunately I just heard that there is an indefinite delay in building pending certain parts from Japan (namely navigation).
Apparently if you want navigation Ford does not have the parts and does not know when they will get the parts. As of yet there is no plans to generate a VIN# for my build.
I am fearful that the delay could push the build into the 2012 model year which I have heard will not carry the orange color (also something I really want).
I understand you can order it without the navigation but to be honest I think it looks really cool and don't want to sink $50,000+ into a truck that is suboptimal.
I can possibly get a truck from elsewhere in the nation already built but most have the stickers on the truck which I do not want and add a substantial amount to the cost for something I would rip/tear off anyway ($1400+).
Really bummed.
