Buying a Raptor - FAQ

[RAPTORZIN]

I don’t think there is any risk or penalty for multiple orders. I put in three orders
( different dealers and dates ) and nobody noticed.
good luck

To my knowledge no risk at all. Ford wants to sell 'em. They don't care what dealer is involved. I spoke with a dealer yesterday that has an allocation of 2 and they've taken 6 orders with deposits on the 2 they have. If you don't buy it, someone will.

I placed a 2024 order last week with a local dealer. Dealer confirmed they had an allocation for a retail order and were willing to do MSRP (I had to work them down from a $2500 markup). They asked for a copy of my license and a $1k refundable deposit, and then on Thursday afternoon I was told the order would be placed but haven't heard anything since.

Per this thread I should eventually receive a confirmation email from Ford, and it seems like prior to that there is something called a DORA (Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgement) and COVP (Customer Order Verification Program) Confirmation that documents Ford's acknowledgment of the order. I haven't received anything from the dealer other than a receipt for my $1k deposit.

For those more familiar with the Ford ordering process, any idea what type of confirmation I can request at this point? If the dealer did place my order on Thursday I'd think the DORA and/or COVP Confirmation should be something they can share with me.
