So a truck i’m interested in popped up today on fords locator (listed as “just arrived”) at a local dealer. It’s a 95% match so i’m pumped. Reach out to my salesman, he says it hasn’t been built yet, probably a month out from delivery.

Is this just the game that ford locator plays? I’ve called/stopped in multiple other dealers while traveling and never see the “just arrived” trucks on the lot.

I had this happen to me as well a few times. The ford website will say its in inventory at dealer , when I went to the dealer website it wasn’t there the dealer apologized and told me to always verify with dealer, similar to us when the dealer orders the vehicle they get a vin, and then ford lists the truck against their dealership.
 
Well, it all worked out... i just bought it!

it’s in production according to alumnizilla. Dealer said middle of september probably. I’m pumped!

Congrats! :D
 
Congratulations!
 
I've even had a truck be in the dealer's inventory and they couldn't locate the truck on the lot. As for a truck being in Ford's Inventory, I have found it easiest to just copy/paste the VIN and search on the Dealer's website.
 
The Ford locater/inventory search really needs some help. I've found many trucks that said arrived, but not even built, or that were listed and were already sold.

Congrats on the purchase!

The truck I purchased said the same thing, I asked the dealer if I could deposit down and when it arrived just come pick it, he said sure, pretty simple deal.
