You guys waiting won't like this..
A parts shortage will shutdown two ford plants next week. It's only a week (at the moment) but who knows what it could do to the production schedule afterwords..

Tuxedo Black, and Red Candy is in short supply, but is still being built. But it will end, if your Dealer didn't tell you this, as of a couple of weeks ago. Well They possibly are leading you on. UA normal black is being Preped as a Sub.
The vehicles built Feb 24-29th at Dearborn, all have VIN #s, and should be in your hands, or on Rail Cars. A separate issue.
As far as 5 weeks without a VIN # goes, it could be do to the Dealer's sales rate, Colour, Wheels, Tires, and engine/cab Combos.
Ford is trying to do it's Best, building Vehicles for it's customer's first, Vehicle's for it's Dealer's stock second. The Dealer's can look to see what is "Buildable" every Tuesaday.
It could be worse, they could just Close the plant and build nothing.

You guys won't like this either, especially those who just ordered or where going to order a 2011... No more Sony navigation units available.

You guys aren't the only ones concerned... I was waiting on the 2012 raptor order bank to open in August...however I don't want to spend 50k on a 'pieced together' truck thanks to shortages or supply issues. If this continues I may start to look more at the 2011 raptors on dealer lots instead..
