The AS is going to be a haunting factor. We have seen a few move, but it's slow. It's a craps shoot on when a VIN comes out for those trucks. Some have the VIN and some do not.Got the confirmation email.
F-250 Tremor, Platinum, 7.3, winch, AS, 5th wheel prep, spray-in bedliner, few other misc option. Figure I am closer to the 7 month side if the house.
Yeah, I am back on the fence about the AS. But I have read where it helps towing and that is one of the reasons I added it to the build. I feel that I am too damn old to compromise. I want what I want and if I have to wait so be it. Just wish Ford would understand the importance of communication with their customers.
Congratulations! What an amazing feeling that must be!
Agreed with that, mine is already built so more throwing out what I'm seeing/hearing from others on the forum. But not everyone's dealer can seen holds. (Or chooses not to see) @Vermonster has called his dealer and been told he has no holds or restrictions even though he has AS which is a known restriction.
Update from the dealer. It is now in Metro Atlanta. But... the ETA of Nov 7-11th has not changed. It's literally less than 60 minutes from the dealership. Hoping I can pick it up this week.
I ordered April 3rd. Mine was bullt last Saturday 10/23
That's a true story. I am uncertain if they can see it or just don't know where to look. They seem to be pretty old school - basically from the, "You pick out vehicle - we sell you vehicle" world. I don't think they are used to all the post sale pre delivery customer service Q&A. I had to educate them that my email could be added to the communications from Ford. They have always been pleasant and I got a great deal. Just strikes me as the type of place where if I wore a suit and walked in pretending I am from Ford and pull off a serious Eddy Murphy type of gag/scam from Beverly Hills Cop.
Yeah, I had to educate my dealer along the way as well. Felt like some of it could have helped them enough with other customers that they should have knocked at least $500 of the truck.
Very true, I feel like some dealers don't even bother looking or even trying to figure out what the hold up is. They just hit the easy button and give a BS answer. I am lucky enough to be working a manager that actually cares and showed me the whole process. Sounds like @Vermonster is working with a dealer that might still be using dial up internet.
I just saw that too. Same as last week....at least we know we cannot predict anything.
Hmmm, not sure about that. Mine was individually ordered, however, maybe it's a timing thing - I may have been built before the shortage/bottleneck/delay/etc... I don't recall hearing anything about the spray-in liner until Sep.
Agreed, I think we both made it through before the bed liner restriction. Sept sounds about right on when that started.
I thought the bed liner restriction was early on when the 22 MY builds got started in July. It seemed like they got past that. I hadn’t heard of spray ins causing delays until the last couple of days. Is it a real delay or is it people with new orders reacting to old news?
It was listed on the blue oval forum as a restriction recently so don't think people are reactinf to info from July. I don't have any inside info though so take it for what it's worth.
maybe you will now that you said its not happening.
I think that’s the idea.
