Cactus Gray Ranger Raptor Delivered!

[Speedracer1007]

Ordered 1/29
Notified of late April production week in March
Produced week of April 29
Delivered 5/28

I got the text my Raptor showed up and started the process of retrieving it. I ordered from Yankee Ford out of Portland Maine as they were the nearest dealer at the time that would offer a truck at MSRP. I've had it for 3.5 weeks now (4100 miles) and it's been great. I took it offroad on Day 2 of having it and it performed great. Road tripped it to Florida for the honeymoon and had an awesome time with it down there. I'll be heading out to Colorado in 2 weeks with it to conquer some trails and hang out with my brother and dad (brother is bringing his Bronco). Here's a link to where I'll be documenting all the adventures with it + an intro to me and the truck (with a few fun stories).

4,100 miles in less than a month wow! Granted the trip to Florida but still!

Indeed it was quite a bit going from Maine to South Carolina, then Florida and back. Next month I'll rack up another ~3800+ going to Colorado. All in the name of fun and offroading!

Congrats on your new truck!

Can you explain why his truck was delivered to him in one month? Mine was shipped before his was even produced! Mine has been sitting in a rail yard since May 31 ( if you can believe in Ford Chat).
i don’t even want to hear “it’s out of Ford’s hands”, it’s the shipping companies. Wonder who writes their paychecks? I personally think it was damaged in rail shipmen and is hung up waiting for repair. I’m okay with waiting for repairs up to a point, just give me a good delivery time.

The good news is that Ford is going back in time to deliver your truck In all seriousness I hope it gets worked out man. Could be related to your dealer as well. Mine happened to be a bigger dealer in the NE (had to travel 1100 miles to get it at MSRP), so perhaps I got lucky that it delivered quick to them. I will say the original truck from them that was on order before mine was not delivered before mine. So it could truly just be luck on my end or bad luck on yours. If you can stomach it though it's worth the wait!

No rhyme or reason to most of this, ours was manufactured on a Wednesday and Thursday and delivered to our dealer in Wisconsin the following Monday by convoy (truck), that was late April , early May. Maybe close proximity to Michigan Assembly has something to do with it, or just plain luck that they have a full truckload for that dealer and maybe another adjacent or close dealer. We had the same kind of good luck last year with our ‘23 Bronco Badlands and ‘23 Maverick. I’m sure I’ll have some stories of being a hundred miles from Michigan Assembly and delivery taking 3 months. Train transport maybe the culprit in some cases.??? The Raptor is definitely worth the wait though, amazing! Don’t cancel, if you do and you ever drive one after, you’ll regret it.
