Welcome back. Not sure I need a status, but here is the information: F-250 Lariat Tremor 6.7 VIN: 1FT8W2BT4NED32845 Order Code: 2236 Sales Code: F53476 My dealer was able to look up the train number on his VVR. It looks like it's coming in on this train car (I found the image on a reddit page about graffiti). I thought you might find this interesting. When I checked the train status, it shows that it's empty, but not where it is. Thanks for everything!

F-250 Lariat Tremor 6.7 VIN: 1FT8W2BT4NED32845 Order Code: 2236 Sales Code: F53476 Hopefully I read all your conditions properly. Thanks a ton for doing this! I was able to see that something changed a few hours ago, but I don't know what it is. I've heard rumors about new chip holds, so I'm hoping it's not that. I appreciate any information you can pass along. Have a great vacation!

Well. Crazy. I just got scheduled for Dec 13 on a Tuesday (11/16) at 3:54 Central. Ordered 9/4 Confirmed 10/29 (same day I removed A/S) Scheduled: 11/16 @ 3:54PM CST Build Date: 12/13 2022 F-250 Lariat Tremor 6.7 diesel Ultimate Lariat Package Adaptive Cruise Control Black Package (LEDs, wheel liners, spray in bed liner) Ultimate Tow Package Winch Carbonized Grey Safe Trailer Cameras with TPMS Block Heater Clearance Lamps Mudflaps Heated Wheel / Rain Sensing Wipers B&O Upfitter Garage Door Opener

Now this is interesting. Thanks for that. So each dealer has a different order bank then. Does that mean I should have chosen a dealer with a larger order bank? I ordered a Mustang the same day from the same dealer, and it's sitting in my driveway right now.

That's strange. My dealer said that the option to make the change was on his screen, but he was afraid to select it due to the priority code. It's also an identical build for the Tremor with the high-cap tow package. The only difference is the sticker and the vent badge. Every other component is identical. You get the extra leaf spring with the high capacity package, and you get the upgraded rear-end with the Tremor package. It wouldn't be a major change. Either way, I didn't do it. It would cost almost $965 more, and it risked my priority code at the same time.

You are the only person I have EVER seen claim this. Granted, I've only been reading forums since early September, but every indication I've seen is that code 02 means the vehicle has been vetted, and it can be scheduled immediately. 10+ can be used to adjust scheduling within the dealership.

No. The dealer has the option to change it. He just didn't want to because of my priority code. I was thinking about using a camper and boat at the same time, so I thought the extra 600 lbs on the sticker would help. There is ample evidence that the only difference between the 250 and 350 Tremors with high-cap tow package are the sticker, badge, and price. The tow package gives you the extra leaf spring, and the Tremor give you the 350 rear end. Everything else is the same: springs, frame, crossmembers.

I called my dealer earlier this week to change from a 250 to a 350 (Tremor so it's really just a sticker and a badge). They called me back, and told me they were afraid to make the change because Ford moved me up to Priority Code 2 for some reason. None of us know why.

What inventory system automatically posts trucks for 125% of the MSRP?

I'm still waiting on my Tremor, and I've been wondering how difficult it is to remove them when I go off-road. They are quite cheap if they get damaged though.

Are you saying that this dealer is selling your truck instead of giving it to you? I've heard of this happening quite a bit recently.

I forgot to mention that I ordered the Tremor package with a Diesel engine. The tables are extremely confusing when you add that little feature.

I’m torn between the F250 with the high capacity tow package and the F-350. I don’t see any capacity differences, but I feel like the F-350 would offer better resell value, but it costs about $940 more. I don’t really understand what the difference is, and I was hoping somebody could explain it to me. thanks. Edit: After a ton of research, I've discovered that the Tremor diesel 250 and 350 are EXACTLY the same except for the badge, sticker, and price ($965 more for me). Now I'm trying to decide if the sticker is worth $965 for me.

I have no idea how I missed that. It looks like they’re only doing cleanup scheduling this week. Probably due to the holidays.

Where are you seeing that? I don’t see anything that said SD scheduling was cancelled.

And that information is priceless. Thank you!

I saw a couple trucks get scheduled with AS this week. I really want that feature, but I pulled it off a few weeks ago. I would add it back on if I knew it wouldn't delay my order. I wish Ford was a little more forthcoming about the commodity shortages so we could make educated choices. Ice-Capades gives us a lot of information, but it's only specific about commodity shortages some of the time, and we generally have to guess what might be holding up our orders.

Congratulations. What options did you have? I ordered mine two weeks before you (9/4 vs 10/15), and it's still crickets for me. A lot of people have it much worse, but I feel like I might be joining their ranks if I don't hear something soon?

Yes. Thursday today

I dropped it from my order as well. Kind of a bummer. I really wanted that option.

I ordered a Mustang and an F-250 Tremor on 9/4. The Mustang is getting built next week. I still don’t have a vin for the truck.

I’m in Missouri. I ordered on 9/4. Still haven’t heard anything. A lot of people have been waiting much longer than that though.

Yes. That spreadsheet. (Scheduled - New Options). I counted the number of trucks scheduled each Thursday. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j-se1Jwhql8Zfas9fqpVOjC_0Kfr49tiCY_s2XL8GrY/edit#gid=2088811466 By the way, I missed two for 10/14 that were listed in the Scheduled Date section: Thursdays # Scheduled on spreadsheet 9/16 18 9/23 1 9/30 14 10/7 1 10/14 12 10/21 2 10/28 At the moment, I'm just pointing out something that looks like a pattern. It's too small a sample to draw any firm conclusions. That's why I said "it seems like." If don't have access to the spreadsheet's history so I can't look back further. I'm interested in seeing what happens in the next few weeks. If this trend continues 2-3 more weeks, I think it will be statistically significant.

One can hope. The fact that only two trucks showed up on the spreadsheet today is a concern though. Another concern: According to Ice-capade’s scheduling document from Tuesday, SDs were supposed to be scheduled for 11/15, but they were scheduled for 11/22. I have only heard rcpd34 say anything about this though, so I’m hoping he just has a lying car salesman. Wouldn’t be the first. EDIT: I looked back over the spreadsheet for a few weeks. It seems like they schedule a lot of SDs every OTHER week: 9/16 18 9/23 1 9/30 14 10/7 1 10/14 10 10/21 2

There are two now. One is a Tremor, and on is a well-equipped KR. The KR was ordered 10/6. The Tremor was ordered 9/9. Both are scheduled for 11/22.
