The first dealership I went through in Reno, NV took my order during mid May and credit card number. They never ran my card, never got an email confirmation, no build receipt. They never took any action on processing my order, from what I could tell. Three weeks later I cancelled that order, then went to a different dealership. They submitted my order that day, got an email confirmation from Ford on 6/11. Got the VIN 6/19. Production scheduled week of 8/2.
Seems like there are many people who tried to order trucks months before I did, but no action has taken place, and they haven’t received order confirmation or build dates.
