desperado

I asked the dealer to reach out to the regional Ford rep a couple weeks ago. He supposedly said "Look him up in Vincent when he comes to sign & if there is something in there that was active the day he ordered or the day he takes delivery, give it to him." Well, duh. Sounded like a long-winded "no," but since I did get x-plan pricing, I'm not going to cry too much.

The wait is finally over! I put in my order 6/12 and gave the dealer $1,000 deposit. The order was turned in 6/14 and I got email confirmation within a day or two. Finally in Oct I got a scheduled email, with a VIN a few days later. After several scheduled "to the week" and "to the day" changes, it was finally built 12/20. I had a PCO for $3,500 that expired 1/3, and sure enough my truck delivered to the dealership today - 8 days too late for the PCO. And, of course, now I've either got a cold or the 'rona and can't go pick it up. So, pictures will be forthcoming. Hang in there, boys. There is light at the end of the tunnel. 2022 F-250 Limited Atlas Blue

But, if you raise a stink with the dealership over what is and is not allowed under a plan, since they're not required to accept plan pricing, can't they just stop the sale? In my case they're charging me $150 doc fee, and other fees (e-file, processing and handling). And now, just before my truck is to be delivered, they're wanting to charge current pricing (I ordered in June) AND they're telling me they have to run my credit to protect against fraud and identity theft - even though I'm bringing my own financing and cash!!! If I say no to any of this, can't they simply say "Ok, we're not selling you this at x-plan pricing" and put it on the lot marked up $20k over sticker (which is the markup this dealership is using per their website)?

Awesome! Thank you very much! Hopefully the next time I post in this thread is to post pictures!

Ok, thank you! I got my "shipped" notification today, with an ETA of 1/8/22. Since rail cars seem to take quite a while, I assumed it was coming by truck all the way to Mesquite, TX. That's only about 1.5 days driving (for CDL drivers). I also remember you saying that email notifications are not instantaneous, and ETAs are not always 100% accurate. Just checking. Thanks again!

@ice-capades, if the vehicle is on a truck instead of a rail car, will that information be displayed in the same place? Thanks in advance!

Well, strange happenings on my end. The "AsBuilt" site has populated the BCE module, but not the PCM. Ford tracking site says "In Production" as of 12/15/21, but not "built." It also has a delivery ETA of 1/5/22. Tracking on this site shows "In Production - Produced" as of 12/15/21. No emails from Ford. Am I in the dreaded "chip hold" or what? So close, yet so far away...

Woop! Woop! Thank you again, sir!!!

@ice-capades Question for you. I ordered SD in June, and my order sheet from the dealer shows a price level of 230. I've read that the number I've highlighted on my window sticker (attached) is the price level, which shows 240. I've read your posts that retail orders are price protected so I've been assuming I'll get the 230 level. I'm curious why, though, 240 is on the window sticker. Thanks!

I would suspect the plant shutdowns are, at least somewhat, union-driven, no?

Great! Thank you, sir!

Exactly what my dealer told me. But, after reading on here where one dealer reached out to the Ford regional guy to try to get it locked in, I asked my dealer to do the same. After all, it's not our fault the trucks we ordered 6-8 months ago may still not be delivered by January 3rd. My dealer said he would ask the Ford regional rep for help Fingers crossed!
