2024 MY Super Duty Order/Schedule/Build Thread

DTX2023Tremor said:
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).

I ordered My loaded out ultimate lariat tremor in Feb and got it in June. Will probable be on sale in time for Christmas. Really want a platinum. Ordered the platinum last week. Cannot sale the lariat until 12/20/23 because I got it with the x-plan and have to hold it for 6 months. Will see how Ford does the production of the Platinums before I will actually put the truck up for sale.
 
I wonder what number order they are up to now with 24 order bank ?

I'm not sure what capacity they are at yet. I was going to roll my MY23 Lariat Ultimate Tremor 7.3L over to MY24 then decided to order a 24 350 Platinum Tremor 7.3L Rapid Red on July 18th as soon as my sales rep submitted my order we were updated that the Lariat was previewing and then on the 20th I received a scheduled production date 8/7/23 and a vin.
 
I just placed an order today for a 2024 Tremor with the 7.3L. Lariat Ultimate trim, blackout package, carbonized gray exterior, and Baja interior. I am excited but unsure what to expect on wait time. I unfortunately have order 19 priority but I was told by my sales rep that Ford pulls orders based on what they can produce with the supplies they currently have. I’m not sure I believe that based on everything I have read, but we shall see.
My real dilemma is that I sure am curious about this new Glacier Gray metallic paint color option. It would look sick with blackout package.... but that carbonized gray hits hard too.

Right, add 6.7 HO and that same truck is ~93.5K.

Yep that's one reason why I went with the gasser and the other is I will not be towing heavy enough or often enough to justify the diesel engine. Gasser is perfect for my current needs.

Your sales rep isn't completely incorrect. I think the logic of the system is available allocation -> priority code -> order date -> all parts available = schedule order. If there are parts constraints then does down the line until it finds an order with the lowest priority code, oldest order date, and where all parts are available to build the order. The parts issue is why so many XL/XLT/Lariat ordered in the Spring / Summer are getting scheduled ahead of KR/Platinum/Limited orders from the Fall / Winter.

The dealer can manually adjust this as the system gives the dealer a preview of what will be scheduled. They can choose at that point to schedule different orders in place of the system default. I don't expect most dealers are managing their UnScheduled Order Bank (USOB) that closely and are relying primarily on priority codes, order date, parts constraints to determine what orders get scheduled.

That makes total sense. Thank you for that insight and knowledge. I am certainly looking forward to getting a new truck finally. I was due for a new ride and this will be the nicest truck I have ever had. Blessed

I haven't seen the Glacier Gray yet. Not sure about this video if it is 23 or 24. If this is the GG it is a lot more blue than the azur. Ordered mine the same color as yours but can change until the VIN is created.

The truck in the video is Azure Gray. It was a '23 pre-production truck that was making the car show rounds last year. Here's a picture of it. Sometimes Azure is blue and sometimes its gray. Most of the time it's a slate blue. I love mine. I have no idea what Glacier will look like. I don't trust the on line Ford colors.

I have been digging all over the internet to try and find the color but I haven’t been able to find anything Ford specific. However it seems to be a very popular color right now among BMW and Porsche. Others are jumping on the color wagon too. It’s a really nice looking color if it’s anywhere in range of the one BMW has.... I believe their version is called “Frozen Pure Gray Metallic”. I saw two SUV’s yesterday and they were sharp. I think I’m going to stick with the carbonized gray though. The thought of something new and “hot off the press” is exciting but I just love that carbonized gray with black appearance package.... even if it’s already been done 1000 times. It just makes me happy

I'm the same but my wife was interested in the Azure. Now that we ordered and then were told it was gone. Suspected that maybe the Glacier Gray was similar. Short window to change so I looking for it. Posted on another site is this color guide for 24.
