Mid June Order banks open ?

[POOPonYOU]

With order banks opening mid-month when will they start building and delivering the '19s?


Edit:
I see that the OP says Sep or early Oct, and he was right about the order banks, so likely correct here too. Any dealers that can confirm?

So the order banks will open in mid-June? Any way to confirm that? I see that the F-150 order bank is supposed to start on 8/12/18. Not sure if that included the Raptors.

I was told first week of August is when the 2019 Raptor banks will open by 2 dealers.

That’s what the dealer told me. He knows it’s a raptor that I will be ordering, but that is a good point. It may just be the standard f150’s. I will try to firm it up today. I’m fairly confident these guys are going to give me accurate information. They serve as well as sell us multiple 18 to 40 passenger vans. But I would say you guys know more about the raptor than the average dealer. I’ve got to feel that some dealers are on here and could firm up that info. I will do what I can

I hope your're right. That would be great. Thanks for checking for those of us that have no clue (me).

Raptor4you said mid-month in another thread, so I am assuming it is accurate.

Do you know when USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank) is? I wonder when Ford will allow us to mess with their configurator for the 2019's on their site.

That's the date the order banks open. The configurator is usually available that day or within a few days.
