It seemed a few months ago everyone was on a waiting list for a new Raptor. There were 8 people on the list at my local dealer. I was in there last week and they had 5 of them sitting on the floor. Is there anyone on here still waiting on a list, or is the Raptor shortage finally over?

No2StrokeB's,
Did you find a Zilla yet? Just wondering, I know we had a talk about this in the past. My buddy just sold his Raptor in the Bargain finder, took 5 weeks.

No2StrokeBs,
Why are you selling your raptor? Just woundering.

14min, Great to hear you got one coming. Where did you order it from? There was two blue Raptors up at Longhorn this past Saturday. How is the house project going? I drove by yesterday but did not see your truck. We are waiting to come there for a ride when you let us know. Send me an email or call me about getting together for a ride.

Most dealers in my area have a couple Raptors sitting on the floor now. The word got around quickly on their reliability, and things always breaking on them, and sales seem to have taken a nosedive.

The word got around quickly on their reliability, and things always breaking on them? I've had mine since Sept. and it has run perfectly. I don't doubt that some people may have had some problems but remember the squeeky wheel gets the grease. What I mean by that is people are more vocal when something goes wrong and want to complain. I would bet there are many more Raptor owners out there who have had no problems than those who do.
