2024 MY Super Duty Order/Schedule/Build Thread

So my order was 7/17. I got scheduled week of 10/9. It went in production on 10/6. I got the updated window sticker of 10/31. I never received an email that it went in production. So I went and checked today randomly. Now says mine is built as of yesterday! I still cannot see window sticker through the email link. Pretty pumped!

Can't wait to see real world pictures of the new colors! Hopefully someone posts some soon. The factory floor pictures are so inconsistent it's hard to tell what they really look like.

Yeah, electronic images (and printed images, from back in the day) are hard to get correct. First the in camera color correction, color temperature correction, and contrast and exposure correction. Then each monitor also displays colors different from one another. Except for graphic designers, that have color-corrected and calibrated monitors and then they can also correct an image as long as there is a color scale chart in the same photo. All other images we get and view will randomly be off.
I'm awaiting a Glacier Gray (In Production date of 11/13) and don't feel like I'll really know what it looks like until it arrives. Even with the image, floating around, of the Glacier Gray paint chip laying on the hood of an Azure Gray. Anxious to see it because the real world color will dictate if the slide-in pickup camper we have on order will stay the stock white or I'll have them paint it their optional "Battleship Gray" color with is a medium to dark gray. I'm hoping the dark gray camper will go with the light gray pickup, but if the two gray's color temperatures clash, it will be a no go. Clock is ticking since my truck will likely be ready to pick up from the dealership around mid December and the camper is due to be picked up in March, so will likely need to decide on camper color a least a month before that.

Color temperature and white balance will never be perfect. But as more images come to light (and hopefully videos) you're able to get a good feel for it based on context. I've got Glacier Gray on order as well. My build week is 11/20, so I probably won't see much before I get my truck either.
 
Yep. Unless they changed something in the last year that I don’t know about. I thought the same thing originally when I bought mine a few years ago. It would be faster to have the bed pre-done installed and out the door.
When they spray the bedliner it's done after the bed is bolted to the frame, otherwise the bolts would chip/scrape it when installed, not be covered in liner, and allow water into those areas to get trapped which could lead to premature rusting.
 
Still sitting at 11/13 with no update lol original build date was 10/23.. wish it would update one way or another!

Same, here is it my date NOV 8 and no update.
 
Mine will ship to the dealer and then get line-x

Same here for mine. Dealership recommends all their pickup spray in bed liners be done locally because they were having builds delayed due to customers optioning the Ford spray in bedliners. Plus they said customers are seeing better coverage, thicker and better quality out of the locally done spray in bedliners than the Ford ones. Price was the same to me whether done factory or locally so I chose local. Last used truck had a locally sprayed bedliner in it and it was great.

I know right!! I feel like I have been forgotten haha hopeful for an update tomorrow!!
 
This is NOT a supply chain issue at all.

This is too many people ordering the luxury trims when order banks first open. Ford builds 4% Limited and 5% Platinum throughout the year.
Ford and its suppliers are not going to hire extra people during the fall to handle all the early orders, then lay them off late spring and summer. Steady pace though out the year keeps plants going and employees working.

So until the early rush of luxury trim orders get caught up mid spring, they will exhaust those trims every few weeks. This is also letting buyers know to maybe thinking about a Lariat instead.
This is in no way directed at you individually (even though I’m quoting you) but at some point, after nearly two years, the blame can no longer reside with “too many people offering luxury trim”. This is becoming a failure at the corporate level. Most organizations have data scientists and can reasonably run projections on what is likely to be ordered/sold and when.

It does make one wonder if there is more to it? Why not build as many as people want to buy? Do they want to keep the exclusivity high?
Toyota could sell 3+ times as many tundra and 4runner TRD Pro. Year after year afte ryear, ypu can'tfind them or pay over msrp, even before the last few years. Why not crank up supply and sell more and let dealers have more to sell?

Lots of games with certain trim levels and it seems there is more to it than the manufacturers being able to get parts or predict demand for a trim level.

This is becoming a failure at the corporate level. Most organizations have data scientists and can reasonably run projections on what is likely to be ordered/sold and when.
One of the issues is that prior to 2022, Ford prioritized Dealer Stock orders for sale on dealer lots. They explained to dealers what the constraints were and dealers adjusted orders to fit the estimate percentages of different trims.
You might not have found exactly what you wanted on dealer lots but simply settled for something close enough.

After 2022, our custom retail orders get priority over the dealer lot (stock) orders. This has caused Ford to have less control on what is ordered. Especially based on time of year. The issue with the luxury trim is one of steady pace throughout the year. They can’t build 8% Platinum during the winter and 2% during late spring and summer. Leather supplier supply chains don’t work that way. The workers making the fancy leather are skilled people. You can’t exactly quickly hire a ton more in the fall, and lay them off in the summer. Not fair, not cool, and not practical.
 
So my order was 7/17. I got scheduled week of 10/9. It went in production on 10/6. I got the updated window sticker of 10/31. I never received an email that it went in production. So I went and checked today randomly. Now says mine is built as of yesterday! I still cannot see window sticker through the email link. Pretty pumped!

Good Lord Ford actually built a truck, amazing I have hope again!

There is one other aspect to consider. If ford or any other manufacturer built enough trucks for everyone who wanted them in a single year, it would indeed be a great year with record sales. But it would also likely mean a down year or more on sales following that which is bad for stock prices and investors.
 
It's Thursday my guys! Who's ready to sit alone in the trucks they want to trade in and cry? I KNOW I AM

How many times are you gonna refresh that status page today? They are just teasing me, my Ford account says mine is in production, but the order status says scheduled. As soon as that status page updates to in production it's time to detail and list the Expedition.
