Trucks here. The Winch isn't.

stufarmer · Mar 19, 2021

My dealer ordered the Truck on Jan 25. It was built on Feb 25. Delivered on Mar 16. Super happy with time it took .. But no Winch, they say it's backordered ..?? Really .. hard to imagine at $3000 they're already sold out of Winches. The Truck is beautiful, it's almost everything I wanted. But, no idea of when the Winches will become available again. That a disappointment. Idk, if I should keep it, or wait 2 more months for the 22' .. Just a Nav screen isn't that big of a deal to me.

Placed my order the first week of January and the winch arrived at the dealership before the truck.

Bowhunter · Mar 19, 2021

My winch arrived about two weeks after my truck. Just have your dealer fill out a we owe you paperwork and give you a loaner car for the day of the install

I was told COVID Warn shutdown is to blame for the shortage but should be delivering Tremor Winch Kits again about now. I am waiting too. ?

The wonder if my winch will be back ordered? Truck arrives in a few weeks. If it is, I may cancel it and buy an ADD bumper.

My winch showed up 10 days after delivery; I took the truck back they gave me a ranger to cruise around while they installed the winch.

I got my F350 Tremor on March 19th but missing the winch and the trailer TPMS / Backup Camera. The dealer said they expect the winch to arrive in 3 weeks.
It's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one waiting for the winch to arrive.

If you like the truck, Id keep it, the winch will come in. No guarantee you ordering a 22 gets you a winch either, and then you arent just waiting for a winch, you are waiting again for a truck. My opinion, your decision, it sucks it didnt arrive as ordered.

Thanks for your responses. It never crossed my mind the winches arrived later. It's not like they haven't had 7+ weeks to get it there. Makes no sense .. but, who am I. Decision made, I have what I want right in front of me, and .. I suck at waiting. Currently, my F450 trade-in is worth more than I'm paying for the Tremor. Tax's fees, everything. Yep .. I'm actually bringing home about $2700. from the dealership .. it's a first.

if it makes you feel any better i placed my order Dec 10th or 12th i cant recall but it just got built in the tracker on monday, and is preparing for shipment. I also had priority 10... So you ordered yours a month later and already took delivery!

trevor1030 --- I am in about the same waiting game as you. I ordered my truck Dec 18th and it was shipped two weeks ago with a scheduled delivery of Mar 26. My salesman emailed me that the winch is there, and the truck in at the rail yard (over a week ago just waiting on it to be delivered to the dealer).

Curious if my winch arrived yet. Gonna call my salesman today and see. It would be annoying to have waited this long especially with priority 10 and the truck arrive without the winch or having to wait for it.

All priority codes 10 through 19 do is let a dealer tell Ford how they want to prioritize competing orders within the dealer's own order bank.

As reference point, ordered truck Jan 11th. Truck arrived at dealership on Friday, March 19th. Winch was delivered to dealership before truck arrived. Winch being installed today. So hopefully your winch will arrive soon. Good luck.

I'm wondering if any others are still waiting on the winch or the trailer camera/tpms? I ordered my Tremor on November 24th 2020 and received it the first week of March 2021, but the winch and trailer camera/tpms were not with it.
The dealer said it would be three more weeks to receive them. As of yesterday, the dealer now says that they have no idea when my winch or trailer camera/tpms will arrive.
I am going to call Ford Customer service tomorrow and see what that gets me.

My truck arrived at the dealership Friday morning, and the salesman said the winch had arrived three days earlier. The trailer cam/ TPMS kit has not arrived yet. I ordered on January 20th.

As of yesterday the 3rd, my dealer has no estimate on my Winch delivery. Noth'n .. Between this lack of availability of this Winch, Method saying they'd be shipping my Wheels by late June, Carli Suspension and their Back-order excuses, my first choice of Tires were Ridge Grapplers, they're on Back-order.
I'm beginning to believe this Covid Bullshit has become the new excuse for shitty service.

Actually the whole covid thing has been intentionally driven down through the business community by corrupt people in authority and many businesses are doing everything they can to not go bankrupt because of it. What we are experiencing is just a symptom. The cause is far more sinister than lazy business people.
