What did you originally order? A higher trim or lower?no braptor email here - 7/15 res holder - no build date

Supposedly Raptor is by reservation holder dates ONLY. No allocation.Yep. Straight to the trash, plus I doubt my dealer even gets to sniff a Braptor. They seem to be on Ford's shit list, so why even pursue it. I'll just wait for 2023 at this point.
Ok. I’ve heard this before, but i still don’t believe it. LolSupposedly Raptor is by reservation holder dates ONLY. No allocation.

I honestly don't believe that simply by the way Ford has handled Granger and the other small dealerships that got a ton of reservations. Big dealerships would be pissed again if they didn't get to see a single Raptor roll through their lot. Some of these Raptor orders aren't going to be bought even if people said they would and if the big dealerships don't get a crack at reselling those, they aren't going to be happy.Yep. I hear ya
Left the rest of the people who have been waiting or haven’t ordered out of it? The fact that most couldn’t even get a first edition due to the sheer amount of people ordering seems to be a little unfair. I think Ford should fulfill reservations period, and Raptors should go to those that are waiting and willing to pay. Ford performance vehicles and first editions are two different beasts.I honestly don't believe that simply by the way Ford has handled Granger and the other small dealerships that got a ton of reservations.

I think the most likely scenario is dealerships get their normal allocation numbers but are instructed to allocate them to consumers based on the email list. Small dealerships that had hundreds if not thousands of orders don't get to monopolize all the Raptors, but large dealerships still have to adhere to some sort of consumer favorable action.
I would have preferred if Ford had just given the unfulfilled FE reservations Raptors and left the rest of the reservations out of it.
What about the people who didn't reserve a standard trim because they were waiting for a Raptor? I almost didn't because I wanted the Raptor. I'm sure there are people out there in that boat. Neither of us are going to change what Ford plans on doing but it's just as unfair to give reservation holders priority as it is not to.Left the rest of the people who have been waiting or haven’t ordered out of it?

I am one of those people. You’re absolutely correct in saying ford will do what they want, but that’s different than what you initially said. Giving FE holders Raptors and then having people such as myself who didn’t get a FE but still made a reservation early on and held off in hopes of a Raptor being made was the plan for peeps like me. But having no chance at getting one seems a little disqualifying to people who are holding onto a reservation.What about the people who didn't reserve a standard trim because they were waiting for a Raptor?

Yeah same I was expecting allocations so I got on a couple lists in preperation. I honestly wish Ford could just make enough Raptors for everyone. If there are enough engines and suspension parts screw it just make 30,000 Raptors next year. I know it wont happen but I don't care about the Raptor being "rare". Let everyone get what they want, it doesn't bother me.I am one of those people. You’re absolutely correct in saying ford will do what they want, but that’s different than what you initially said.

But in the end I guess it doesn’t matter, because I think we all got lucky ford is even doing this “lottery” and if anyone does get anything, it’ll be y’all FE holders. Usually we would be relying on allocations which is why I chose to get on a dealer list back in 2020.
EXACTLY MY SENTIMENT! I agree 10000%.Yeah same I was expecting allocations so I got on a couple lists in preperation. I honestly wish Ford could just make enough Raptors for everyone.

Why? We have waited more than 2 years. Reservation holders deserve first crack.
