Think I have finally got some info of what is most likely happen on my truck. They are apparently making a lot of F-150's right now, working three shifts around the clock. They want to get the supply up so they have more time to retool for the new 2015. The parking lots in Dearborn are being packed full and the logistics of the rail transport isn't keeping up. So the thought from Ford Service is my truck is stuck in the back of a parking lot and it might be awhile before they get it cleared out to get my raptor shipped out. Said I might have a long time to wait if that is the case. This does explain why the status has not changed, it hasn't moved. I did learn that it was finished at 1:58 am on Jan 30th. No telling what 3rd shift did when moving it out to the lots. I feel I am screwed and just have to wait it out. How frustrating.

Our weather has to be wreaking havoc there too. We've had winter storm after winter storm after winter storm. Not sure about Detroit area plants as we watch Toledo TV but the Jeep plant and others have had multiple weather related shutdowns as we've had over 4' of snow in 6 weeks and several days of record low temps. My daughter has had 13 snow/cold days. Some are on 15!

Been watching this thread for a while. Still can't believe you haven't gotten your Raptor yet. Very frustrating to say the least. Fingers crossed you won't have to wait much longer...

You have definitely been more patient than I would be. LOL. Raptor is going to be freakin sweet man. There is an FX4 at the dealer where I got my truck for 60k fully loaded. You got a damn good deal for your truck. Can't wait to see the finished product.

That is crazy. It shouldn't take that long to deliver a truck.

No, it never left the factory until close to Christmas and a buddy of mine that works for CSX actually called me on Christmas eve to tell me he was standing next to my truck.

Nno one I contacted at Ford could tell me what the holdup was. Some were blaming that Hurricane we had last year on clogging up shipping to the east coast.. Who knows, but it's water under the bridge now. I've got her and she's a beast!

Damn, I hope mine doesn't have that same delivery issue. I registered to go to the Texas Raptor Run in April so I hope it doesn't take 69 days. I opened an investigation case with Ford today to see if they can find it. My dealer is not being helpful, they are like it will get here when it gets here attitude.
