2019 Raptor Intel

Then again i always tell my girlfriends to "relax" and they never do lol.


They want your money, its gonna get here. Just chill and enjoy life, you dont gotta do all what yall been doing.

Get a beer, enjoy the idea you have the privilege to even think about ordering one.

The Raptor is an out of reach fantasy for the overwhelming majority of hardworking people in this awesome country/world.

Chill.....

Since it sounds like your situation is incredibly similar to mine, here's what I'm at: I'm 95% certain the Recaro seats/blue interior are to blame. Of the 100+ Raptor orders in my general vicinity, not a single one includes the accent package. But there are plenty of builds with the beadlocks, 802/tech package, moonroof, carbon fiber, etc. The common denominator of missing Raptor features is the interior accent package. There are trucks rolling off the line with the package, but I'd say it's more of a slow crawl than a roll.

My dealer hasn't outright stated this is the cause, and the regional rep has been less than forthcoming with any information, but my suspicion of the delay cause being the accent package is pretty well founded.

That being said, I'm perfectly fine waiting out the delay to get the options I want, rather than satisfying my need for immediate gratification by losing the options causing the delay.

Though I do have to turn in my current F150 lease in March, so they're really starting to encroach on my maximum time frame.

Haha, that's *kind of* a nice attitude to have. But on the flip side, it's also enabling sh*tty customer service.

Next time I miss a deadline, and a customer that pays my company good money is concerned, I'll just take that approach. "Chill, bro.... You'll get it when you get it."

Except, the real world doesn't work like that.

Arrived at dealer today...pick up tomorrow

Congrats did you get Recaros?

I have no problem waiting. 5 months, build was delayed 3 times.... no big deal. My problem is the truck was sitting in the rail yard and they lost track of it. It was passed on to another carrier and they didn't realize they had the contract so it would have sat there forever with no updates. Even that's ok to a point since nobody has a Raptor emergency but my dealer is 2+ hrs away and closes early so I need to juggle my work schedule based on dates I'm given. The day it was due I rescheduled my day to be there before the dealer closed. Truck didn't show and there were no updates. Dealer told me it should be here tomorrow or over the weekend so I changed my weekend plans so I could be available to pick it up. Truck never showed and again no updates. For a week we contacted the zone rep and never got a response beyond I'll find out what's going on and let you know first thing in the morning. This went on for a week.

The wait is not the problem it's the ****** customer service and the reality that my truck literally fell through the cracks with no accountability or checks/balances in place to catch it. Fix should have been 1 phone call with an update within 1-2 days of first call but my dealer got no response. Finallly went Hulk on my dealer and boom I got results.

Moral of the story... sometimes you gotta be the crazy girlfriend. LOL!
