Thanks. It sounds lost. So far away from Vancouver BC for Dec 4 delivery. ?

I think that's pretty standard. Most traditional manufacturers don't move or change drastically. Plans are methodically thought out, investing in research, trends, and analytics. Newer companies tend to disrupt the status quo, make bold moves but often don't have the funds to take them further. These companies are the ones you see on crowdfunding sites and pitching to those guys on dragon's den and private ventures who take a huge slice of revenues for providing 'small' investments in the company. Ford definitely will play both sides and ramp up certain products lines so long as its profitable

Thanks. Our salesman actually mentioned that this morning. Also said our truck was somewhere in Minnesota. Sounded like Humbold CTRS or something like that. With BNS Rail. Couldn't find and rail hub centre like that on the BNS rail map

Only 30mins away from the flooding, far enough but we have another atmospheric weather trough coming in again. Hopefully the flood gates will be completely repaired. If you went through and built your truck with the sales manager, double check everything linked to the VIN to ensure it matches once you get it. 7 mths for a Lariat...hopefully no AS?

Yes. That is what I noticed on the XLT but it doesn't give me any comfort with Ford salesmen not knowing anything about this order system. Is the center stack normally listed on a window sticker?

I really hope so. The truck also was supposed to get the 7.3l gas engine but became 6.2l. Nothing but trouble with this order

A823 1FT8W3D62NEC80239 Railcar # BNSF302704 Tracking pls. Ty

So you're saying ford fucked up if I go to the ford order tracking tool and enter my vin and order number and check

Aren't the 2022 XLT SDs supposed to have 8" LCD Screens. I only have SYNC 3. My window sticker doesn't say anything about the screen size but the Ford build states it is a 8" screen but when I go to the Ford Order tracking tool it says 4.2"?

I'll wait until there's a binding agreement before I applaud. Don't hold your breathe. Deals like this take a while

Sorry. I was looking for the actual dollar price because my base price was $10k higher without options at $63k but I noticed that selecting the chassis type and engine started to up the price. To date, I still can't replicate my pricing through the ford build site but my final price actually is lower than my existing price by $2k so I'm not rocking the boat. ?

Yeah...but when the dealership and salesperson are complete morons... Ford should really implement independent sales network standards. At least a consumer complaint division on dealerships that flag them for retraining. If Corporate employees have to go through annual training ,why shouldn't they? I know it's a lot to ask for. This is more rhetorical ?

True. Surveys have mentioned that often there is no access to ev charging stations (see https://www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2021/04/what-makes-people-disloyal-to-their-electric-vehicles/?gclid=CjwKCAiA1uKMBhAGEiwAxzvX93AOp-oHgZ1HZZHIZb1KVrLiaZtU0Gss-s8hgLrl7YkRAlvkvlLh7xoC-_gQAvD_BwE) Even so, most built rental stocks in many areas were built prior to EV and it's often cost preventative to install such stations where parking has already been fully allocated for required visitors and disabled parking stalls. Other issues are the total electrical component to the building where its becomes so cost prohibited especially if your area has rental increase restrictions due to affordability etc. Even my brand new condo had barely enough visitor parking stalls for a 64 unit building (5 stall) which included disability stalls. The developer installed level 1 outlets throughout the parkade, toting it to City council as EV friendly but they left the strata corporation to deal with the aftermath of not being able to separate billing usage of electricity because they outlets were not separately metered nor separated from the main building electrical account. That meant over $50k minimum to rewire 3 levels of concrete parking to try to equally allocate electricity usage from ev owners and non ev users and those that basically used that outlet for non vehicle charging (ie vacuuming their car). It was a nightmare. Our renter said at lvl 1, it only charged up to 45% of his new tesla using 24hrs of electricity. We dumped the condo as we were going to be charged a flat fee of $50/mth for his usage but where we are, rent increases are restricted to 1.4%.

Same here Van

Next to go....power steering. ?? Bringing the 1980s back to you as part of their retro style package, includes manual window rollers... lol

Front looks like an airplane tray in first class. ? The double doors feel off but in pause mode , I guess it's like day camping like being in a RV van camper. The picture with the doors open make me think of a movie where a launched missile winds up going through the car and explodes at another target. ? Just need to turn the seats into a bed for overnight camping.

Me three!

Does anyone know if they've heard anything about shipments to British Columbia , Canada and potential delays due to the recent flooding? BC has declared a state of emergency.

Good to know. Ty

Until technologies improves you're basically swapping one limit resource for another. Sustainability and environment impact is often overlooked. Where are battery components coming from? There's limited resources of nickel, cobalt, and lithium pockets. Add the environmental impact of mining and related electrical initiatives People don't think about this and then the generation of electricity through?...say through hydroelectric dams (see British Columbia Site C dam project and flooding of forests for this project to meet electricity demands). Battery recycling and recovery needs improvement but it's currently not that profitable and requires government subsidies. I'm not saying BEVs are great but it's just swapping one issue for another. The next gen in marketing

I concur with IUEC135ELEVATOR. Ensure you have a good buffer. With an average of 2 passengers and cargo, these are often overlooked. I know many insurance companies will scrutinize any claim harshly if you're overloaded. Personally I'd take the 350 but that's just thought

I am wondering if anyone would know what the original MSRP was for the F350 prior to this increase. I curious to know if the dealer placed our order accordingly.

Thanks Ice I'm also trying to figure out what the ETA date is as the ford tracker says the order is shipped but the ford mach-e says no shipping date. Can someone explain this? TIA

I have no idea. The system said I was registered and now I have 2. I don't really use the other one. I've been having issues with my mobile browser and this site but it seems fine now. Sorry about that.

Being in BC, I totally understand the frustration with dealing with Canadian dealerships but remember these guys are salesmen, that's it. Your deposit should be refundable until the vehicle has been serialized.
