Scheduling is happening in May, builds are not starting till end of July. Expect an August or September delivery.

I'm a hardcopy person myself. Just like the order guides, I printed them out and like to have it in my hands. I went to my local dealership back in January and they didn't even have 2014 superdutys.. all they had was a little insert on the Platinum at had 5 or 6 magazine style pages. Pathetic!!

Cyberdman, I hope you dont mind me replying but will help him out so he doesnt bother you over and over. F450s are not being scheduled till mid to late May. They will not start production till the end of July.

Build time is closer to 24 hours, not 10. Your window sticker should be up today or tomorrow if it is being built on 5/5. Make sure it is not the week of 5/5. From what I've seen, Ford schedules it to the week until it gets close and then schedules the weeks worth of trucks to the day. So most dates are given the week at first and then the day as it approaches. Whenever they give it the week, they state it for that Monday. My guess is since your window sticker isn't available yet, it's the week of 5/5. Trucks will ship once they have a full truck worth to bring to the area.

The window sticker shows up 7 days +/- 1 day before build time. If your build date is 5/5 (be careful that it isn't the week of 5/5 being the 5th is a Monday), your sticker should be available on around the 28th of April. Example, My f350 that I originally ordered had a build date of 3/21. My window sticker became available on 3/14 but the truck didn't make it off the line till 3/24.

Well that would explain why I haven't received one either that I asked for under my name or my wife's name. I'd imagine they will ship them as soon as they are available.

Then they are just lazy and don't want to look it up in their system. Dealers have the ability to look it up for you. Your build date is usually 7 days after your window sticker becomes available.

The c&c models for 2015 (450 and 550) are the old 6.7 with the same hp/tq rating of the 2014s. They also do not have the exhaust brake. Someone on powerstroke.org already bought a 15 and confirmed it. Also showed pics, no exhaust brake. I also confirmed it from 1 of the vendors on thedieselsite yesterday. The f450 pickup gets the new motor and exhaust, not the f450 and f550 c&C models. http://www.powerstroke.org/forum/general-6-7-discussion/731065-2015-f450-build-thread.html

Now that you say that, you are correct. What was stuck in my head when building mine was adding the snow plow package and scrolling down and seeing the dual alts are required. But it's not the snow plow package that is requiring it. Platinum trucks require dual alts and I'm ordering a Platinum with snow plow package. Thanks for catching that!!

No one has been able to buy a 15 yet. The ok to buy order was just given today by Ford on all superdutys.

Heavier front springs.. thats all. Dual alternators are required with it.

Everyone with MFT got this. They announced it last year I believe.

You don't want limited slip. Ford's limit slip is a royal POS and doesn't work. The e-locking is far superior. Chrome package is not late availability, it is fine to order it now. What is late availability is this 20" KR rims and the monochromatic package. The mono package begins on or around May 8th. No date on the rims yet if you want the 20s. I changed my order a few days ago from a KR to the Platinum because I didn't want my truck held up because of the rims not being available. I'd say at least a month before any orders will go through with the KR 20s. I may be incorrect on the goose neck part.. The prep kit is basically the holes drilled, underbody frame and 7pin wire harness installed. Same with the 5th wheel prep kit. Then I know with the 5th wheels, you can actually buy the 5th wheel kit which is the actual hitch itself installed at the factory. I'm guessing (and this is where I may be wrong) that Ford offers a gooseneck hitch installed as well from the factory so you don't have two buy one after the fact.

2015 C&C trucks have been being built. Someone I was just talking to got theirs delivered a day or 2 ago. FYI - the 2015s are the same as the 2014s, no updated motor like the 2015 pickups.

From the same article above.. felt the need to post it again... So they didn't bring it to the US because it would compete with their other vehicles but now they are bringing it so it will compete with their other vehicles????

If they have any autoshow rebates for the superdutys.. grab one for me, I'll be glad to compensate you if necessary.

Yes.. even for Toyota which I can't stand, I have no issues with manufacturers having recalls as long as they do it timely. I don't take recalls as a negative thing in my eyes as long as it's handled appropriately.

Thanks for updating us.. This is good news finally!!!

Might as well get all the recalls out there while everyone else is doing it.. http://news.yahoo.com/toyota-says-recall-6-58-million-vehicles-steering-050257442--sector.html

Ahh.. that's why mine got built on 3/24.. The dealer put it in as dealer stock so I'd get it faster. Was nice of them to do that however, I'm all set with it lol.

The only thing I can think of is that they were not building customer orders, only dealer stock (100% opinion). I was told last night that they are running 20 hour days at the plant now. I have seen a few people say they just got a VIN assigned the past day or two.

Sorry, just had to tease you a bit.. Wasn't being serious.
