2024 MY Super Duty Order/Schedule/Build Thread

It doesn't mean anything as you'll find everyone's orders will all have that line added. Ford will determine what is part of Job 1 or Job 2 based on how they want to approach production. In MY23, XL/XLT/Lariat were all started in Job 1 and then they added King Ranch, Platinum, Limited, Black Appearance Package, etc... when they started Job 2. This allowed the factory to ramp production on the less complex builds before adding in more complexity or items that are less common.

Your order will be eligible for scheduling based on how they design the respective jobs. Looks like you have a pretty much fully loaded Platinum, so I'd expect your order to be in the later Job.

Got it. I was confused with your description of Job 1 orders being XL, XLT, Lariat and Job 2 was the higher trims.

Order number you should get pretty quickly... usually same or next day after it was submitted.

Now vin... well, no way to know. Some people on other forums/FB report placing orders and getting a vin a couple of weeks later (typically lower level trims, fewer options). Since 2024 production doesn't start until October, you won't get the possibility of a vin until September at the earliest.

That said, I placed my 2023 order on 10/29/22, 2 days after the order banks opened and still do not have a vin/build date. It is highly unlikely that my 23 order will be built. There are many others like me... look around on the forums and you'll find people who ordered a 2022 back in late 2021, rolled to 23, and are now rolling to a 24.

TLDR - order confirmation is fast. Best to prepare for a long wait for a vin.

I'm in the same boat ordered in 2022 and still waiting.

I'd recommend for anyone placing an order for the first time to place the order and check back with ford and this forum every 6 months... hopefully after a year you will have a new truck in your driveway.

I never thought about it. I’ve had 2 previous 250’s and never needed the extra capacity. How much more is a 350?

I went the same route as you @Suncoast - I didn't need the extra door sticker payload that a 350 would provide. If I recall it was ~$1000 difference give or take. I also liked the fact that the 250 Tremor is rated at 10k GVWR and 24.9k GVWR so it alleviates any state to state concerns while pulling the TT. I don't really think it will ever be an issue but as Forest says "one less thannng"

Got it. Thanks for the splaining. I don't need the extra capacity so I guess I'll stick with my current order to not derail my order.
 
Let’s try this again…

So…you guys are scaring me with all the 22 and 23 rollovers and never getting a vehicle you specifically order from the factory! Was I just super lucky in 2015 to find a F-250 Platinum 6.7 on the lot with everything I wanted in a truck? Don’t get me wrong, I see the difficulty getting any super duty now from a dealership as I have been to 6 different ones in AZ and CO just to sit in them and maybe test drive. Lucky to find one ‘23 350 Lariat. Is this still supply chain issues, chip issues, too many fleet trucks, too much push on 150s-broncos-lightnings? Why wouldn’t Ford ensure all specific orders get completed as they are guaranteed sales/profits? Color me worried about ever getting this new truck! How many buyers just give up?

I’m of the unpopular opinion that one should hustle and play the system until Ford gets their shit together and starts prioritizing the actual customers; not dealers, not their f antiquated weighted priority allocation system that’s more complicated than NASA code.

Ordered ONE 22 and never got it? f Ford, and next order TWO 23 at different dealers. Never got those two 23? Oops. Now order THREE 24s at different dealers.

I’d rather be in a position to decide which of the THREE orders to take instead of seating in front of a screen and sucking on a thumb watching other folks take deliveries of their newly built trucks.

Better yet, don’t be a moron and order with a dealer who accepts Xplan or offers under dealer invoice pricing with no deposit down. Make sure to get your deal in writing, signed by both sides. Otherwise that agreement ain’t worth a shit.

Long time listener, first time caller! I've tried to do my homework in learning the order process and the typical do's and dont's. My current truck is a 13 Tundra Rock Warrior and its been a great truck. My head was turned towards ford because my father has had nothing but ford since the 80's. He recently passed away and the chores around the house more than my truck can handle. I've got a family of 6 and need the 6th seat and plenty of room, but also really like the off road package for hunting and climbing out west. I've just received confirmation of my order for a F250 XLT Tremor 7.3, with a priority code of 19. In my research, I saw that dealer can assign a PC as low as 10... I purposely didn't order anything crazy (like i've seen some on here), becuase I don't want anything to hold up the order. I told them I need it as soon as possible for a hunting trip in November. This all may be a pipe dream, but I was a bit disappointed at the salesman. He didn't seem to know much about the PC and didn't act to interested either. Can the dealer assign a lower PC at my request? Also, how would I know, or the salesman for that matter, know for sure if they have allocations for the 24's? It seems some order will never go anywhere due to not have allocations. Thanks and sorry for the drawn out book.

Yes, the dealership can go down to 3 now. Will they are your request... Sounds like yours definitely will not.
As far as allocation, your dealership would have that information as well. Will the be forthcoming and tell you... Again, sounds like yours will not.

Welcome! It's nice that the XLT is back in the mix so that you can get 6-passenger seating... Good luck with your order.

I think the forum magnifies the issue a bit as those who are waiting tend to be the most vocal about the wait (myself included). Look on Facebook and you'll see quite a few people who ordered and received their trucks. Some even placing orders in April and taking delivery in June. Are they ordering Tremors? Most are not, but I've seen quite a few XLT/Lariat (even fully loaded Lariats) get delivered - some with orders placed well into the Spring. You'll even find quite a few happy new Tremor owners on there.

You'll hear the most frustration from people like me who ordered King Ranch/Platinum/Limited trim as Ford has not been able to produce many of these. It is likely a combination of several factors - supply chain still being an issue and Ford catching-up on fleet orders so they don't lose the massive government contracts to GM. I expect it is more the latter as many of the "constraint" items have been showing up on the fully loaded Lariats that are getting made (e.g., multi-contour seats). To your question about profit... the total profit on the hundreds of thousands of XL/XLTs that they produced probably outweighs the incremental gain that would get from the few thousand KR/Platinum/Limited orders. Those fleet orders and XL/XLT work trucks are the cake, the others are probably just icing for Ford and I don't seem them shifting like GM has to prioritizing higher-end / retail builds.

@Alpoba 's recommended approach definitely solves one major challenge - dealer allocation. Multiple orders won't solve any issues related to constrained items (i.e., if you have ordered a - fill in the blank trim or option - and Ford is saying they've exhausted those for the week/month/year, doesn't matter where or how many orders you have placed).

The vast majority of sales people at dealers have limited experience with retail orders and know even less about how the dealership manages their orders. Skip your sales person and work directly with the sales manager or GM for your dealer. For most dealers, the top sales manager is usually the one that would make the decision on priority code, at a smaller dealer it is probably the GM. Keep in mind that they can change your priority code at anytime, so if you do get it bumped up, it is worth periodically checking to confirm that they haven't bumped it back down to accommodate someone else over you. Reaching out to the coordinator who actually enters the orders in the system every couple of months to email you your build sheet is a good way to check as those have the priority code on them.
 
I guess i just dont understand fords process between this thread and the 2023 thread people not getting tremors that they ordered . But a dealer near me in El paso Il has 2 -2023 tremors in stock . Why wouldnt ford take care of customer orders first .

I don't think the issue is about Ford not taking care of customer orders first, but how Ford distributes production capacity (i.e., the allocation system). The dealer either had a retail order that is waiting for the customer to pick up, or the customer abandoned the order, or the dealer ordered the truck as part of their stock inventory and it was picked-up by the factory when scheduling against their available allocation. The only way to know if it is one of the first two scenarios is to see the window sticker (green = retail order, blue = stock order).

Oh, and don't look at the 2022 thread, that one is just as depressing 😝
