It looks like most of the Raptors are shipping out of Melvindale (closest to Dearborn plant), but mine is currently at Flat Rock (Ramp 51), next to the Mustang plant. Not sure why it was moved there for shipping, but Ford hasn't updated the status since 3/27 and still shows a 4/13 delivery to dealer estimate. Anyone else have this issue before?

I have a buyer for my current F150, so trying to get some idea of how long I'm going to be waiting...
Mine went from the plant to Flat Rock, then from Flat Rock to Melvindale and it’s been there ever since.

FP said there are both Rail and Convoys leaving from Melvindale and suspected my truck and others may already be on the road via Convoy. Who knows

Mine delivered today 4/25 after being in the Nashville rail yard since 4/09. From another user here waiting even longer, it must not be FIFO, just whatever loads are going whatever direction.

So I wanted to drop these lines to
Let you know that for the most part auto transport usually carry 8 to 9 cars and they prefer to take small cars. However with big trucks like we order auto transport refuse taking more than 3 because it affects the $ on their pockets.
Also our stealerships can’t not call the auto transport and interfere with their schedule cuz it’s a separate business not to mention the lack of truck drivers nowadays.

That's really bad news for me then if they're that backed up... mine's been sitting in Nashville since April 9th.
Good news. I took delivery today ! A happy Raptor owner, finally !

Mine was built on April 22nd. The tracker still hasn’t changed to shipped and my eta is May 4th thru 10th. I have a feeling I’ll be missing it by a decent amount…

Mine was built 3/27 and still waiting on shipping. No rhyme or reason to the order though, yours could very easily ship before mine. No idea why and no update available from Ford or the dealer.
