How do you know what # Raptor you have based on VIN?

Today is March 1st and my build date pushed out one day to March 9th. Still no window sticker so I will believe it when it shifts to in production and built.

OK, on or about....
This is Wednesday. Look on Thursday night or Friday, but definitely by Saturday. :ROFLMAO:

Moving 8th to 9th in the last week tells me there are still production issues. Is that an Azure Gray?

Yes, Azure Gray. At least my dealer is promising price protection from the recent February 3K bump.

A lot of train stops between MI and CA. Don't start holding your breath yet, you'll go blue (or azure gray).

Well, your ahead of me. 8-9 months is about what I figured for my build. Got to love that HPR. :love:

Is your dealer checking the status on VinView and/or Smart Vincent?

Today my order changed from a scheduled date to "in production". They reference my window sticker is available but can't access it as of tonight.

Well, received my Window Sticker today. WITH the NEW MSRP, a bump of $2,800. The dealer had no idea if he was going to get his price protection rebate. Basically, he said, if I get the lower price, you get the lower price. I called Ford Customer Service, and I was told there is a Certificate that is in effect to protect prices until early April. This covers up to $2850.00. So, for now, I am covered but for those who will get their Braptors after April, Ford stated they may extend the certificate expiration date.

That is exactly what I was worried about in post 60 and post 61 and illustrated in post 56 of this thread. Price increases on base and destination.

Your dealer should be able to see the MY23 retail price protection certificate (for orders prior to 10-FEB) in Smart Vincent and/or VinView. From a buyer point of view, a signed copy of the COVP and DORA is important.

ItemMY23 WasMY23 ISDelta
Base Price$73,780.00$76,580.00$2,800.00
D&D $1,595.00 $1,795.00 $200.00
Total​
$3,000.00

My order is still holding to 3/24 so it looks like I dodged the scheduling bullet this week.

So, Ford wasn't any help at all regarding Price Protection and my dealer gave me no indication if I would be price protected. My order was placed 11/01/2022. The only price protection I am asking for is the 3K bump. Not the MY transition. I do not know what Smart Vincent, VinView or the other documents you are suggesting I present to my dealer. Since no one else will help me, I am hoping the forum will be my best support. Thank you.

Sorry to hear about that.

Smart VINcent and VinView are software programs that your dealer should have to communicate DORAs etc with Ford. It's a way of tracking a vehicle (VIN) though the system and its associated pricing.

It's amazing how some dealers or salespeople are all sunshine and roses while they are trying to get you in bed, but then fail to stick up for you and just pass along the bad news. "It's not my fault", Ford is screwing us, so we're screwing you.

Ford Bronco Support has always been very helpful to me with any questions or status.

I asked the Ford rep if there was a Bronco customer service contact phone number (I know there is because I once spoke with them) and he stated there is no such number. Do you have the number so that I can call Ford.
Thanks,
 
This could be a bitter pill:
Invoice => MSRP => Options => MY23 increase => M23 mid-year increase => ADM => Taxes => Other => Total Cost
