Exactly what is confusing me. I made my order a few weeks ago and gave a deposit. Does this mean the dealership had an allocation or am I on some sort of waiting list? The printout I have says Priority Code 10.
What my dealer told me is that until he gets and allocation, he cannot place the order with the factory. I offered a deposit weeks ago, and he said until he can place the order, he would not take a deposit. I am not saying that dealers took deposits way in advance, but it might happen. One dealer wanted a deposit from me on May 31, so he could "place" the order. That obviously was bogus. Dealer not telling the truth? Never would happen.

This dealer is a big Raptor dealer, so I hope he is telling the truth. He also said the allocations for 19 are being handled differently. Dealers that market Raptors and sell them a lot (compared to wholesaling them to another dealer) will get more Raptors in 19. Again I hope he is telling the truth, since they sell a lot of them.

I am supposed to get a production date later next week, if so, I will post it.

Have you and the dealer agreed to a price?

I was told up front my dealer had an allocation and I could have slot #1. So far proceeding as planned. My DORA showed all options detailed MSRP and invoice. It’s a $5K+ markup to MSRP and there’s a holdback so plus ADM these guys are raking it in.

Yes, MSRP. They told me in May that for people ordering new units they sell Raptors at MSRP, and of course, I have confirmed it and have a signed order.
Signed order, you should be good to go. The small dealer that I ordered thru already received 1 allocation which was used for the #1 order at this dealership. I am #2 waiting for their 2nd allocation

You need to research how the order process works, it’s been detailed on FRF several times. The first week of scheduling is next week and everyone on here thinks they’ll get a VIN next week. You may be waiting months. I waiting 5 months once scheduling started for my 17. It’s all dealer dependent on their # of allocations. 50 allocations will have 4-5 picked a Month vs a dealer that only gets 3-5 allocations, could be one every other month.

You’ll be waiting months even if they get a second

Not an issue for me

Just being realistic. Unless they get 12 allocations so 1 a month you’ll be pulled in November/December
