I've been lurking for a while but am finally frustrated enough to post even though I normally hate when people join forums just to complain. Short story long I ordered a 2022 F-350 Lariat Ultimate w/ Tremor Package, 6.7L diesel, black appearance package, tonneau cover, and 5th wheel prep on April 30th. I have yet to be scheduled for build or receive a VIN number. My dealer has been very responsive so I've tried to be patient but my patience is wearing thin. I never had Adaptive Steering on my build and last week after seeing @ice-capades post about commodity restrictions with the bedliner, 5th wheel prep, and tonneau cover I dropped all 3 of them from my order. I did have to ask my dealer to submit my order to the COVP on July 2nd so that may have set me back a bit since it was ~1 month late being submitted for COVP. They weren't able to provide a COVP letter like I've seen posted here but they did give me a COVP confirmation number and said it's in "approved" status. Every time I've called Ford Marketing or checked with my dealer I've been told that my order shows as "Unscheduled Clean" and at one point in July it was showing as "Preview" which I was told meant I should be scheduled soon. I was originally a Priority 19 but am now a Priority 10. Since I deleted all the options that may have been holding me up and was told by my dealer that they'd have new allocation in September I fully expected to be scheduled yesterday but that didn't happen. When I asked for an update I got the following from my dealer; "Josh, the wholesale period hasn't closed, so this time next week should be the shot to schedule. I'll keep you on my list to update if that's the case." It's starting to feel like I'm getting the runaround because the first excuse was that my order had slipped through the cracks on the COVP, then it was that I ordered a popular set of options (Tremor and Black Appearance) and Ford probably had a ton of orders wanting the same options, then it was that they're out of allocation for August but I should expect to be scheduled the first week of September, now it's that the wholesale period hasn't closed so wait for next week. To add insult to injury I've referred several friends to this dealer. One of them ordered a very similar truck to mine the first week of June and took delivery from them last week while I still can't seem to get scheduled so now I have to see his truck around town. Is there anything else I should be asking or any other option that may be holding me up? Final 2022 Super Duty Build Spec for Josh - Redacted.pdf
