I gave up on my order and found a MY22 on the lot 5 hours from home. Flew there and drove it back. Most incredible vehicle I have ever driven! Every single thing about this truck is premium and I get the $80,000+ MSRP now. Good luck to everyone waiting it out. I'm out.

Here I am trying to move on from my truck that’s stuck on chip hold for 75 days and find a truck at Clement Ford in the Saint Louis area (a 4 hour drive). Asked them what they wanted for the truck and it had a $5k ADM which I accepted. Here’s the text I get back after I had my hopes up. The...

Yeah, thank you. It had been awhile since I purchased a vehicle and I didn't realize that Ford was still having so much trouble building trucks 3 years after coronavirus burst onto the scene. I would have kept my truck if my dealer would have worded his message like this, "The ETA shows the end...

I'm not saying this in a rude way because if I didn't own a small business, I would have no idea about it either. Section 179 allows you to deduct the full value of a vehicle over 6,000 gross weight from your adjusted gross income. So I'm in the 35-37% tax rate and buying a Raptor effectively...

I sold a 2018 F-150 Limited for $45,000. I would pay taxes on that money as if it were income unless I replaced it with a similarly priced vehicle. In addition I wouldn't get the tax deduction off of adjusted gross income so I would pay the taxes on the $80,000+ I would have spent on the truck...

One issue with waiting and having it roll into the 2023 fiscal year is that this is a vehicle being purchased through my S-Corp. Since I sold my previous truck, not only will I pay taxes on the profit from the sale, but I will lose sales tax credit and the tax deduction that comes with...

Hey ya'll, My MY22 raptor went into production with a blend date of 8/23/22 and has been sitting on chip hold at Flat Rock since then. My imaginary ETA just got bumped to the first week of December and I can't handle this anymore. I sold my truck back in September as my dealership told me I...

I hate to hit the like button, but it's nice to know I'm not alone.

Are there any people from this build week still waiting on their Raptor? Appears to be slowing down now. I'm still "in production".

Absolutely none. “Chip hold at factory”. The truck sat at Flat Rock for the first 60 days or so then this past Saturday it moved to some new location. Still in production though as of 5 seconds ago. Complete garbage from Ford.

It could be worse, my friend. Mine went into production on 8/23 and still isn't built. I also sold my vehicle because my dealership told me I should have the vehicle by the end of September.

Unfortunately, no. It relies on some technician accepting the prompt on the screen. From the sound of it almost everyone has theirs denied. I got lucky and have been able to see my truck sit in the same parking spot for 2 months. At one point the vehicle went into deep sleep mode and I wasn't...

My truck still shows “in production” but someone recently started it, drove 2 miles, and parked it here which APPEARS to be the rail yard. Fingers crossed that this means movement after being on chip hold for 64 days.

Things like this give me hope. Thank you.

Well, my truck went into deep sleep mode so I’m not able to watch it sit in the same parking spot 10 times a day anymore. Probably for the best.

Same. Depressing. I’ve started pushing the panic button on FordPass a few times throughout the day hoping someone will take notice of my poor truck getting tire rot at Flat Rock.

Has anyone ever tried finding a phone number for the actual Ford plant and getting a hold of someone who is close to the action for answers? The people that you talk to for updates at corporate know very little in regards to what is going on. My truck has been parked in the same parking spot on...

Yeah, Woodhouse. This raptor is actually a dealer order that I placed a deposit on a few months ago. When I placed the deposit I had a signed purchase agreement in place so my situation is different than yours. They seem reasonable though so hopefully they don’t try to screw you. I’m still not...

Man! We have the same production date and my truck is going to Plattsmouth. I’m hoping mine finishes and gets on the same train as yours!! Congrats on being built.
