From my contact that work on the assembly line at Dearborn. They our having a hard time getting chips and other parts for these trucks the last 2 days they could not even get a full shift done do to supply shortage. The spray in beadliner is done by a 3rd party contact. He said for every 8 f150 they build 2 raptor also throw in a few tremor here and there. He said it Essentially it less then 10 raptor a hour. If there only doing 1 shift a day (usually they do 3) that the issue

Correct on 3rd party, it is done onsite. It is not sent off site.

I also have a hard time believing they would delay 3 months For spray in bed liner. That puts us in 2022 models, and I don’t see that happening for those of use with build weeks. Maybe for new orders.

It still seems weird a decent majority of us were pushed to 9/27... even if the shortages were the cause, why all that week? Unless they're just using that date as a placeholder and will shuffle us down the road.

The chip shortage explanation for the Raptor delays would be consistent with the explanation for the non-Raptor F150 delays (assuming Ford didn’t set chips aside specifically for Raptor). Over at another forum, someone posted a letter from Ford offering a $100 Amazon gift card to F150 buyers and explaining that “Covid-19 supply base challenges combined with the global semiconductor chip shortage are impacting our ability to keep up with demand.”

So I ask him about the large amount they received that was a news article a few weeks back. He said those where used up on the stock pile of f series truck sitting in parking lot
