I know the KTP line is down this coming week. But I wonder if this includes those who issue the window stickers.

Things are moving along on my 2022 F450XL 6.7 DRW 4x4, Stone Grey, Blis, Power Eqip Group, 32K 5th Wheel Hitch, Sirius, Synch 3, Wheel well liners, Spray in bedliner, Rear CHMSL camera, Precollision assist with AEB, xl value package, operator commanded regen Ordered March 31st Ford Acknowledgement of order e-mail June 2 VIN ~ June 6th Build Week 7/19 Build Day 7/23

Does anyone know how closely the Preview Order Invoice value matches the final Factory Invoice prices? I'm wondering how much contingency $s I need to hold in reserve.

I talked to my salesman today on my 2022 F450XL order which I ordered April1 and was surprised to hear that my order has been pulled! I got my VIN # and was assigned a production week of 7/19. One of the reasons I was surprised was that my priority code was 19, and so far, I had only heard of priority code 10 being scheduled. Anyway, it looks like there actually is a light at the end of the tunnel!! ?

Ice-Capades report of 2022 MY retail scheduling starting today is confusing to me as I thought this didn't occur until the 2022 "OK to Buy" date. I don't know if there has been a change in marching orders from Ford Mgmt, or if this "scheduling" is actually preliminary scheduling (~production que) rather than actual production week scheduling. I'm trying to track/project the probable delivery date using info from Ice-Capades order process posts as I use this info to do my budget as I trying to control my monthly payment by meeting a downpayment goal. If retail scheduling actually started today, this could pull my projected delivery date back in by more than a month.

Things may be waking up at KTP. Yesterday, June 1st, I received a confirmation of order e-mail from Ford for my 2022 F450XL 4x4 DRW Crew Cab that I ordered on March 31st!! I have no idea why it took so long, might have been an allocation issue at my dealership. Anyway it's encouraging to see that my truck is officially acknowledged to be in the pipeline.

Mink - My understanding is that completing the 2021s will be done at the dealers, not the factory. Many are reportedly missing the antilock braking module, which should be easily replaceable at the dealer. So I don't think the 2021s in parking lots are going to impact the production of 2022s.

I ordered a 2022 F450 XL on March 31st after finding out I could no longer order a 2021. Based on comments made in various forums, this is how I'm estimating my delivery. I traded my 2009 F450 as part of the deal, and didn't realize how long it would take. Its a costly delay for me as I live in a 5th wheel and can't move it without a tow vehicle. Because I can't easily move my 5th wheel I'm having to pay seasonal rates for lot rent. This is OK for now but the rates go up quickly as summer ends, so I'm hoping the July 9th Job #1 date sticks. One number in my estimate that is a pure guess is the production que, I used 5 weeks. (This is my guess, not Fords) Order Date Mar-31 2022MY Job #1 Date (KTP)(Latest from Ford) Jul-9 Days to "OK to Buy" Date (I used 5 weeks) 35 OK To Buy Date - Start Retail Scheduling, VIN Aug-13 Production Que (This is my guess) 35 Projected Build Date Sep-17 Build days with bedliner 3 Shipping days 14 Dealer Processing days 3 Projected Delivery/Closing Date Oct-7

What Ford has historically done in the past doesn't really apply to the current situation. Before he moved to Ford, Alan Mullaly coined a phrase when he was at Boeing called a "paradigm shift". So just since Ford hasn't historically opened up the Ford.com until later in the year really has no bearing to the current situation. You cannot order a 2021 Ford anymore. There's long threads on this website of people trying to track or order 2022 Fords. Ford needs to adjust to this reality. People are managing to order buy Fords in spite of the lack of help from Ford itself. Ford management needs a Paradigm shift.

As a retired employee of a major aerospace company, I'm dumbfounded that Ford management isn't able to even manage having a current version of Ford.com that can be used to build a 2022 vehicle. This trivial software revision is probably one that an entry level programmer could update in a few days. Ford management seems to be missing in action on this subject. Management isn't that hard. Just tell your employees to get it done!

Ford is planning on the redesign of modules to make them less sensitive to supply issues. And the "Just-in-time" ordering philosophy is being re-evaluated. https://fordauthority.com/2021/05/ford-will-redesign-components-alter-strategy-amid-chip-shortage/

I'm in the same boat, I have a DORA showing my order of a 2009 F-450 lariat 6.4 on July 21st, but haven't received any info on scheduling or delivery yet. Even though Ford says there is no change to the engine, I felt it would be worthwhile to wait for the 2009 Job 1 instead of buying the 2008 Job 3, as the Job 1 is next blockpoint change opportunity for Ford. While the blockpoint changes may not be major enough for Ford to mention, there's always minor items like changing a bolt p/n, changing a torque, different castings, different chip software, machining changes, etc. that may improve the product. I had been under the impression that production at the KTP would not start until september, so I'm encouraged to hear that it may be starting this month instead. I'll be pulling a 2009 Mobile Suites 5th wheel with my F-450. Currently it looks like the 5th wheel may be ready a month or so before I can get the truck. Because Ford has been rescheduling operations, they haven't been able to provide any delivery guidance. Because there is no scheduling info available, I have had to make some assumptions to do my trip planning. I've assumed a 7 week manufacturing time, starting in Sept 1st, plus 3 days for delivery to the dealer; this works out to a delivery date of Oct 23rd. Hopefully this date will pull up if production starts this month. I ended up having to place my order without knowing if there would be an associated incentive, I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that. I'll get whatever is being offered at the time I take delivery.
