Hang in there folks, the wait is worth it. I was also able to sell my regular Raptor for only a hair less than I bought it for, which was a great hold over during the wait.
Ordered 7/27/22
Built 8/12/23
At my dealership 8/14/23
Picked up and brought home 8/18/23
Just slowly chipping away at...
Well - it's time. Built late last week, arrived at the dealership on Monday. Hoping to pick it up later this week or first thing next week. Will share pics here.
Could be something else like a loose trim piece as well that's causing the sound based on resonating with engine speed or throttle?
As suggested, I'd take it to the dealer. Yay warranties.
This appears to be more of a Gen3 thing I've noticed as I looked at them on lots. I had a Gen2 which had remarkably good fit and finish, and the Gen3 I have no is also really good, but I looked at several others on lots where it was clear there were some funny clearance issues in front end trim...
I don't love the ADM, but I also don't really buy the argument that people can't or should be discouraged from paying what they think something is worth. I negotiated $15k over for my R that's getting built this week. No regrets. I probably wouldn't have been as interested at $30k over, but to...
Got my window sticker yesterday and looks like a blend date of 8/11/2023. Guessing there's a chance I'll see it in September at this point.
Edit: Note my build status now shows "In Production" without a date on the order tracker website. Just says scheduled week of 8/11.
Gosh that's a heck of a wait! I'm going on 12.5 months waiting for my R. It took exactly 360 days to get a VIN, but it's still not built. In the mean time, enjoying the base R I bought two moths ago because who know when the R will even be delivered.
I see quite a few 'M' plates given where I am in Michigan. I have seen a few '24 Raptors (R and regular) on the road without camo, including seeing a non-R `24 pulling a trailer yesterday.
I dig the front headlight re-design but it does look like the red "R" is gone from the Raptor emblem on...
I noticed last 6 of VINs now starts with 'C'. Any significance to that? I know the first batches started with 'A', then 'B'. I assume it's nothing but I point it out since my VIN last 6 starts with 'C' which I hadn't seen yet.
Well, I got the VIN today finally. Ordered in July 2022, scheduled yesterday for week of 8/7. I'm guessing that means I'll see it sometime mid to late September. In the mean time, just crossed 1000 miles in the regular `23 Raptor I bought a few weeks ago and enjoying every minute of that until...
I don't know that anyone has heard anything authoritative but we're certainly getting into the twilight of the model / build year over the next couple of months. I'm a July 2022 order date with an allocation, still waiting for scheduling.
That said, last week I went out and bought a '23 Raptor...
I had something similar happen with my gen2. It turned out to be a vacuum leak causing the hubs to knock like they were trying to engage if memory serves me. The front hubs were replaced and never had the issue again with my gen2.
Mind sharing what dealer either here or via PM? I have a grey one on order but was waffling between that and white, so I might be willing to take that one depending on where it is.
It does sound like some of these are moving. My dealer has two allocations, one for me and one for another customer. The other one (not mine) got scheduled last week with a blend date of 6/23. They said they don't have much info but I'm encouraged to hear new scheduling appears to be happening...
