2024 MY Super Duty Order/Schedule/Build Thread

Ford Super Duty production at the Kentucky Truck plant finished the month of August at 33,592 units, which is 12,713 units or 61 percent more than the 20,879 trucks it built in July – marking its best month of production on the year thus far – bringing its year-to-date total up to 189,174 units.
Interesting numbers here. That year-to-date number was for 8 months of production, so they averaged 23647 trucks/mo. If it was a full year at that average that would be 283761 trucks in a full year. With the proven capacity of 33592 trucks/mo and assuming just 11 months to account for holidays and model year changeover, they could produce 369,512 trucks in a model year. If I pick a number half way between these, that gives 326637 trucks per model year. If there are only 26k trucks in the order banks, that is only a 4.14 week backlog.

If I do this by trim level, then I have a 23 week backlog for KR, a 22.5 week backlog for Platinum, a 23 week backlog for Limited. For HO engines I get a 23.5 week backlog.

From this it looks to me like everything in the current order bank could possibly be built in the first half of the model year.
 
I submitted my order for a 250 Lariat Tremor July 20 and got the confirmation 5 min later.. not sure what happened but was not expecting a build date of 10/23!
 
When posting your build emails PLEASE include your Trim and engine !
 
F250 Lariat Tremor… 6.7 HO Glacier Grey. I did not get the Lariat Ultimate. Just the standard Lariat with axle upgrade.
 
Just got scheduled for Oct 30! Ordered July 26, Priority Code 10.
F350 Lariat Tremor - HO Diesel - Glacier Gray - Lariat Ultimate - BAP - 5th Wheel Prep - Sunroof - Lay Flat Seats - On board scales - Pro Power Onboard.
 
Well I just got this!!! Lol
Looks like you'll have a new truck for hunting!

No email here but the day is young. Got a 7.3 Lariat Tremor with the ultimate package. Wondering if the Baja interior is holding it up. Just more to save for the downpayment I guess.

The challenge is that KTP doesn't produce maximum throughput on the Super Duties each month as they also build Expeditions and Navigators, have down time for maintenance, change overs, waiting for the OKTB at the beginning of each model year, etc.... Also, the retail order bank doesn't reflect government, fleet or dealer inventory orders. If Ford was only building retail orders then yes, they could easily build everyone's orders.

This one shows the data for 2021 and Q1 2022

 
Called my dealer to put in an order last week. 2024 Platinum Tremor High Output in Carbonized Gray. We finished it on Friday. Tuesday (9-26-23) I got the confirmation email and today I was scheduled for a build week of 10/23.

My dealer did put me in as code 3 but I never expected to go from confirmation to build date in 2 days.

You are very lucky I have the same build and have been waiting 11 months. Many on here longer. Could you provide your full options you added to your Platinum ?

I didn't go too crazy with options. I really just wanted rapid heat and no sunroof which was a combination I couldn't find on the lots.
