I ended up with two orders of identical trucks, both were submitted the same day. One I would not change. The second one was at the dealer I didn't want to go with so I played the game and removed and changes stuff based on constraints. I'm driving the one I did not make any changes to. It beat the other by two months.Just got an email for my Platinum. Dealers are being told to remove multi contour seats for 300 bucks. This goes for KR and Platinum 23s. I’m not accepting a 100k truck without them. But this also might mean I won’t ever get one….
Everyone gets caught up in the constraints lottery probably because they feel like they have some part or control over it. Then they try and get a better priority number when they don't know who else is ahead of them. Allocation and Ford's secret regional formulas seem to play a much bigger part of who gets what.
The second truck shipped today according to Ford.
