    Welcome to the one year + club!  Not exactly a club anyone wants to be in.  
     

    13 months and counting on my F450 Platinum 

     

    I spoke to the sales manager the other day and there is actually 1 truck 3 days older than mine, a F150 KR, which leads me to believe my dealer has an allocation issue with getting higher trim level trucks. 
     

    Ford is really failing it’s customers by not reaching out to us and giving us answers. 

    Definitely something is not right. I have only been dealing with the top brass at my dealer as my uncle was a 40 plus year employee there and they let me know all I want to see and have no problem answering questions I have. Just frustrated with factory and the way they schedule after a vin is issued. Got that vin in February and from this forum it sounds like they don’t vin unless all commodities will be on hand and it’s been pushed way too many times. After it’s here I’ll have to pay the higher sales tax now also and wait for factory to reimburse me the price difference as this dealer will not eat that part of price protection but they do know how it works as I was expanded it while ordering.  

  2. Ordered a 450 Limited June 9th 2021, yes one year ago. Got the vin and first production date on February 1st for the week of March 21st. Been bumped 11 times to the week of June 20th now. Really frustrating as my dealer has the same truck and it’s 2 vin numbers higher and it’s getting delivered and I am still waiting. I only have rapid cab heater, front liners, trailer cam, and now no MS in the seats that’s the only difference the the  other truck. Frustrating it is but I’ll wait for it. I sure hope shipping gets squared away by then so it’s not sitting in a rail yard for weeks. 

  3. You can not remove 5th from a f450 it is part of the package. I ordered in June and got a vin February 1st for a March build and got bumped two times and I am at Aril 4th now. I ordered a f450 limited with spray in bed liner, wheel well liners, safe, fx4, rapid heat, second alternator, trailer cam setup, factory fifth to tow our trailer. The waiting is definitely frustrating especially when I saw a post on FB from a person who ordered the same build and color in December and he already has the truck.

  4. 450 limited with a bunch of options added at a priority 2 for months now. I would rather it not be built and sitting around so I’ll  wait and keep bugging my sales manager every week with any updates. I read all of Ices posts first then call the dealer to see if they are bullcrapping me and it’s always spot on with their info on it. It seems to me the factory is doing “runs”. It was lariat’s for a while and all of the window stickers this week seem to be one of the two white paints. Keep up all the great posts and I’ll be trolling and reading while I wait for a vin.

    No 5th wheel prep on that 450! Yikes

     

    778a includes fifth prep for a 450. Welp. I got his 773a and 778a mixed up. I’ll have to see what the 773a includes. If not fifth prep that would seem strange to not add on especially for resale value in the future if not needed now. 

  6. I got a call from my sales manager Monday afternoon and he told me to expect a vin Thursday as it’s will be put into production soon. Not sure if the dealers get an insight of what will get a vin ahead of a Thursday announcement but he’s confident in it. They have treated me right through this and give me the same answers I read in these forums that the pros in here provide. I’ll still be waiting for confirmation from factory. F-450 Limited Fx4 and a few other add on’s so I have them on the build sheet. 06/09 order date.

    Yeah, that's also why I took it off... plus, I can make sure I get the model that I want. I don't want the keyed version, and would rather have the combination version, and unfortunately, Ford doesn't specify which one they are putting in the vehicles.

    On the Ford accessories page it lists a combo safe. I will assume that is the same as what they install at the factory.

    We ordered an F450 end of March, confirmation email April 2nd, scheduled for production week of August 16th. I have seen several people say their F450s were ordered after ours and scheduled before ours, so maybe you'll be surprised! 

    That would be wonderful. But with the Limited spec it has it all and we have read about the steering commodity issues so I don’t expect a vin for awhile.

    I am not aware of any 2022 F450s produced as of yet, let alone delivered and sold. I would definitely follow up before you assume something of that magnitude. We all what happens when we assume……

     

    I ordered an F450 back on 4/6 and am still waiting for a vin and build date

    I ordered a F450 limited in June and my dealer was straight up with don’t expect anything for a build till around November or December. If it happens before this then I’ll be happy and if it don’t then I’ll still be happy. I bought my 2002 ram new with a January build date and still have it so I think it would be kind of nice to have this around the same date. 

  10. I have my order in for a 22MY f450 limited since 06/09/2021. I can’t wait for it to move along from confirmed to in delivery. I live a handful of mile south of San Francisco so it’s a west coast truck on the list. I see a lot of mid and east but not too many for west commenting. Thank You all that comment in the different subs with wonderful knowledge. 

  11. I placed my order for a 22MY f450 limited on 06/09. Added on Fx4, 5th assembly, console vault, rapid heat, block heater, front wheel well liners, cstmr trailer cam and, spray bed liner. Paid deposit, signed build printout and they copied my license. I had a conformation email before leaving the dealership and still sitting at the confirmed stage. I am in a “rush” but not as I have plenty of truck I bought new in 2002 that does the job now but I can’t wait for the new one. I appreciate all the comments, posts, replies and knowledge in here.
