I want to post what I've experienced as far as timelines and communications from my dealer and Ford as it seems that I've been really lucky or maybe there is many more like me but they just haven't posted positive experiences such as mine...
I ordered 2022 F350 6.7, Lariat Ultimate , Black Appearance, UTT Cameras.
4-27 : Placed the order at my dealer. Put down a deposit
4-27: Got Order Confirmation from Ford that same night.
6-04: Got call from my dealer saying truck was scheduled for production week of 7-19. No emails from Ford though.
7-07: My dealer sent me my VIN number and narrowed down build date to 7-22
7-20: Received email from Ford saying truck was in "Production"
7-23: Received email from Ford saying truck was "Built"
7-24: Received email from Ford saying truck was "Shipped" - Email states that estimated delivery date to dealer would be 8-15 through 8-21.
7-27: (Today) I received a text from my dealer rep which is the Fleet Manager saying that my truck was in Missouri and about 7 days from delivery barring any unforeseen circumstances! That's 2-3 weeks better than what Ford estimated on their "shipped" email. Hoping this is true. I don't know if my dealer has more detailed tracking info than what the Ford Emails are stating.
Overall considering the circumstances and all the posts I see from others, I think I have been pretty fortunate through this process. I think my dealer has done an awesome job from day 1.
