Can't wait for it to get build now!
if you dont mind the q, when did you reserve?Yep. Looked great at the Autoshow and easy to maintain.
yeah, me too. I think I’m screwed because my dealership is in a heavily populated area… I reserved on 5/19, and I’m supposedly number 45 at my dealership… No dice yesterday. feels like the reservation date is not very important, it’s which dealership you chose and then the date.Immediately First day: 05-19
we shall see! i’m not holding out much hope, even though I only delayed a couple hours after the reservation opened.I wouldn't count too much on the actual dealership counting for much. The allocations should be by reservation date/time. Ford is keeping the allocation information close to the vest but seems to me that the 1st "wave" is for, say 1000 vehicles. they look at the first 1000 reservations and the choosen dealer and allocated to those dealers with your name on it. The only place I can see the dealer having some flexibility is if they happen to have several people in the 1st wave. If so I could see their ability to move up their favorite customer, but you should both get trucks. It also seems likely that in that scenario there probably won't be that much difference time wise between deliveries. IF this is not true, then Ford will have a lot of explaining to do.
You reserved on 5/19 and your reservation number was "very high". That seems like something that would worry me.I called Ford yesterday, I missed the first wave ( my mistake), they told me I had a very high reservation number so not to worry. I reserved 5/19.
I don’t believe anything a car dealer says, wether it‘s the higher end Porsche or Ford, they’re all the same. I may end up canceling the whole thing anyway, as I really want to keep my Raptor.You reserved on 5/19 and your reservation number was "very high". That seems like something that would worry me.
Is there something about the Lightning that would make you cancel your reservation or it just your attachment to the Raptor?

Looks like the Lighting @Ates ordered was a Platinum but I don't think trim levels will dictate who gets contacted first.Anyone have there order scheduled yet and if so what trim is it? My dealer said that the demonstrator they have on order is a Larait and is scheduled for April. I have an XLT ordered and confirmed but not scheduled at this point, just curios as to what other are seeing.
I love my Avalanche Grey Raptor, does everything I want , it’s been extremely reliable. Not sure I’m ready to go full electric, although the Lightning is a very, very cool concept.Is there something about the Lightning that would make you cancel your reservation or it just your attachment to the Raptor?
