Can you provide the window sticker so we can see the build? Thanks!I ordered mine on 08/11/2023 and it was built this week, and just shipped today. They are estimating the end of January to beginning of February to arrive at the dealership. I may end up passing on this truck because I also have a 2024 Raptor R on order. If anyone is interested, let me know. If I decide to pass on it, someone should benefit from this great build.

Hey Philly, just wanted to get your .02 on this. Still not scheduled and considering changing my interior to Baja. Do you like the look with the Glacier Gray or would you prefer black interior? Thanks!I haven’t yet. I’ll pick it up on the 29th. Too busy this week and the weekend doesn’t work with the Christmas plans. But will do!

What was your in production and built dates?I have now been updated to shipped with and arrival date to Granger between Jan 19 - Feb 1!!View attachment 140652
I don’t think there is any stopping or policing, I agree it is to the dealer’s advantage so they are not going to stop it. Ford is too busy to care and can’t risk offending a legit multi truck buyer. It just ticks off us waiting to hear some guy that ordered a few trucks and is letting us know about the two that came in he isn’t going to pick up. “No, just want the one I ordered, thanks for holding my truck up”I think that would be too hard for Ford to enforce, especially since many dealers are complicit in this. Best way would be for Ford to track the custom orders through delivery and blacklist abusers from future orders. There could be an appeal process with Ford if there were extenuating circumstances like the dealer made a mistake on the order entry, although the buyer signs the order in most cases.
I would go as far as applying that rule to dealers as well. Try to game the process and you lose the ability to enter custom orders.

We have the exact same truck going to the exact same dealer. We had the same build date but mine is still in production since 8 days ago. Do you have 5th wheel prep? Mine was removed…
I did not have the 5th wheel prep on mine. At most, I’ll be bumper pulling.We have the exact same truck going to the exact same dealer. We had the same build date but mine is still in production since 8 days ago. Do you have 5th wheel prep? Mine was removed…
Don’t settle if you don’t have to! check with current dealer on allocation and what priority you could expect. If you don’t like those answers - find a better dealer with more allocations available. This Granger place seems to be a great alternative to at least make your truck happen…now you may have to travel depending on where you decide to live state side, but at least you will have your Tremor! Maybe one of the Granger guys can post how to order through them and where the hell it actually is…
Do Montana. Starting my llc soon.For you Granger orderers in California that have received your trucks, what do you have to do for registration? Also, if needing to get it weighed, which it looks like it must be done, was your weight less than 8k lbs? I was reading about all of the lame California rules and I definitely don’t want to have to stop at scales…wtf. I have an F350 7.3 Lariat Ultimate Tremor. Based on the sticker I should be under 8k but I also read somewhere the sticker might be wrong and the truck actually weighs more than stated. I will try to do everything to keep it under 8k including have my wife drive it onto the scale, remove the spare, and have as little gas in the tank as possible.
I also found out if I don’t do the registration within 10 days I have to pay like a 10% penalty. I’m in Palm Springs until the end of next week and told Granger I would register in Gilroy. So I’ll be way past ten days. If I knew that I would have registered here but all the Granger docs are for up there. What a pita. Still worth the savings but I am getting sick of California. I think I’ll establish residency in South Dakota next time I am there.
I love it with the Baja interior! I get lots of compliments on it. Baja is the way to go IMO. It kind of shocks everyone because they’ve never seen anything other than black. It’s like no one knows there’s another interior color option. This is my 3rd lariat I’ve owned over the years and all have been the tan/baja color. This is all I got for pictures but I can get another one here after a bit and post it to help you make up your mind.Hey Philly, just wanted to get your .02 on this.

I am willing to wager there are not many people ordering for the sake of ordering, or going in with the intent of not picking the truck up. I am trying to do the members here a favor and save time on ordering one. When I ordered the Tremor they had told me there were no more allocations for the Raptor R. I found out a few days later that I could order one, so I did. I can afford both trucks, but only want to pay the payment on 1 of them.It's crappy and unethical because it artificially inflates the demand on retail orders which pushes other retail orders out. Many folks including myself are waiting to be scheduled. When people do this, they're filling up the queue with custom orders that could have been used by people that actually intend on following through. Those throw away retail orders basically end up being stocking orders when they arrive at the dealer. There's lots of things that aren't illegal or against the rules, doesn't make it any less shitty.
I have done no reading on it yet. I know when we moved to CA it had to be done in short order (we didn’t as we still had several month on the old tags - yes, we did not follow the rules). That being the same case for new cars from out of state sort of worries me with that timing requirement. In state purchases get more time. I was planning on taking a week to drive back by meandering across the Midwest a bit on the way home but maybe not now.I also found out if I don’t do the registration within 10 days I have to pay like a 10% penalty.
