Thanks! Antimatter blue with stone great two-tone. It’s a little difficult to keep clean, but it’s my favorite color scheme For the 450. It goes really well with the King Ranch Interior.

I would remove the tonnneau cover. It’s an easy add later, and probably more options to choose from.

Love love love my Bak Revolver X4. There are just too many times that I need full use of my bed and an view to ther rear. And, it looks awesome!

Mine shows the same as yours….. hoping to see a build day date soon on the spreadsheet or an email saying it’s built. They’ve been pretty consistent at 8 - 9 days fromn sent to plant date to build date. Mine was sent to plant on 8/10.

Looks like this week is build the 450’s week…. I am also scheduled for the week of 8/16. - 450 King Ranch with adaptive steering. Anyone got the actual build day yet for this week???

So far I’m still scheduled to be built this week - King Ranch - ….. fingers crossed, although I’d drop the AS if I need to…. windowsticker.pdf

I ordered on 4/24. F450 King Ranch with adaptive steering. Scheduled for production the week of 8/16.

I wonder if I cancelled and waited to order a 2023…….. a). How much more would it cost over the same trim 450 2022 MY? b). How much later would I actually get the truck than I’m already going to wait? If cost is not tremendously higher, is this not a bad idea??

Perhaps the most interesting sentence in Ford’s press release about the shut-downs….. ”There may be more factory disruption in coming weeks.” I’m betting Ford has no idea more than a week out of the semiconductor (and modules) supply status and flow. It’s the only reasonable explanation as to how volatile and shifting the build dates are. Ford Corporate leadership must be on the verge of losing sanity……

oops….. didn’t see the earlier post of this info…. but oh well…… might as well just chill…. No three shifts in July……. Crap, this stuff is changing every day it seems…… https://fordauthority.com/2021/06/ford-vehicle-production-will-take-huge-hit-in-july-thanks-to-chip-shortage/

I suppose the challenge will be finding new super duty stock. Maybe used…… but dang, for late model low mileage you’ll practically pay new truck price. I think I’d wait about three weeks or so. We’re going to know soon if those claimed mid & late July builds are for real.

Interesting - all of the different dealer situations and different opinions. I can tell you this, I ordered my truck on April 24th, and my dealer was all over telling me all about how Ford required my license and signed buyers order or the truck would be delayed in production. So, at least for my dealership, they knew all about COVP as early as April.

It’s becoming more and more apparent to me that Ford will just keep bumping and bumping build and delivery dates. I think its a marketing strategy to make buyers FEEL like things are picking up and production is going to soon approach normal…. I think that they probably know good and well that they will not anytime soon be completing production on 2022 trucks. They know it could be death to many dealerships unless they can keep a flow of orders coming in….. think about it……. How many fewer orders would they have if they announced that they could not build and then deliver trucks until almost Christmas or even later……. I think it’s all smoke and mirrors at this point. Geesh, I have a friend still waiting on an F150 he ordered in November!!!!! Just my 2cents…..

Ordered 4-24…. I have not called to check dates….I’d rather be surprised than disappointed LOL.
