Never mind, I saw the later posts. I don't think ford is being clear with their dealers then

There is a allocation my dealer only gets two this year and maybe more next...that was direct for regional Ford Rep.

Yes I know. I was just asking surfer if he knew something I didn't.

That blue looks more like the blue flame then the one I saw last weekend. The blue I saw was almost flat looking. The wheels were like those, but all one color dark Grey. There was a avalanche one there two with the bead lock wheels. They look much better in person then online to me. If I'm lucky to get a raptor it will have the spoke/standard wheels like the picture.

It looks quite a bit darker than Blue Flame when it's not in direct sunlight or inside with artificial light beaming down on it.....(like on this GT 350 in the pic). I've been to the local dealer about 10 times looking at 2017 Lightning Blue Escapes and Fusions trying to make my decision. I was never a fan of Blue Flame but I think I'm sold on Lightning Blue.

Talked to my dealer yesterday....because I decided to change a couple things on the order, which ultimately lowered the overall cost a bit. Added Carbon Fiber. Removed beadlock wheels (just couldn't make myself love that wheel) and technology package. I don't want my Raptor telling me that I'm outside the lines and slowing me down!

He again said he was only getting 4 17' Raptors. He said there are some dealers out there offering up other dealers their Raptors for "only" $11K over MSRP! Wow

Mine didn't get scheduled on Thursday. Hopefully more news next week.


I'm really leaning to dropping the beadlocks also......

I'm just not sure. I haven't seen them in person yet. The regular wheels look good to me and for the 1000 buck up charge, I could get pretty good wheels other places and have 2 sets

Scheduled priority 1. Sounds like October delivery. Had to remove carbon fiber package from order as its on constraint.

Constraint? Or material hold?

I believe commodity hold was the term. Carbon fiber interior package is late availability.

So it was dropped and the order went in immediately
