    Ok, total rookie here with this build stuff and want to order a F450 Lariat fairly gussied up - Getting conflicting information from the dealers here in the Houston / Dallas area. One is telling me a year for delivery, no deposit and no worries, if you don't want it we'll put it on the lot for 10K more than the build sheet. The other is saying have to come to Dallas for ink on paper, 1K down and after a certain point on the build, you're on the hook for the truck.

     

    I have zero issue with money down and I need the truck for our new DRV but what's up with the divergent sale pitches? Is there a standout SD dealer in TX or LA for that matter that folks here trust? I'm prepared to drive further if need be for the right dealer! 

     

    2024 average wait time for a Lariat build so far from the group? 

    Ordered 450 lariat ultimate package Oxford white. , Fx4, spray in liner, wheel well liner, mud flaps, onboard scales, 410 dual alternator, carpet delete, console vault on 7/17. In production 11/19, built 12/2, shipped 12/5, ETA currently 12/23 - 1/5.

    Well darn. I left anything off that I could get done locally and have a better warranty to boot. Folks that are getting ready to order, take note here. 

    I knew it could delay the build a couple weeks I wasn’t too concerned about it. I got the shipped notification this morning the timeline was just about the same this time as with my 22’ almost down to the day. There was about a 2 week delay.

    Did anyone get an email today ? I thought there were supposed to be three weeks of January scheduled today . Opening day order of plat, HO, Tremor . So I’m hoping I even get it , didn’t get the 23 ordered . 

    I have only received two emails since my opening day order, the first gave me a build week the beginning of October then on 10/10 one saying that my build week changed to 10/23 nothing since. According to the tracker my truck went into production 11/9, received a production date 11/19 and BCE data populated on 11/20. Still shows in production. 450 lariat ultimate, HO, fx4 carpet delete, console vault, onboard scales, spray in liner.

    Similar here Fl, prod date was 11/16, that showed up after 8 days of in production prior but no date. It says it’s been updated almost daily but no changes. Perhaps waiting for the spray in bedliner…. 7.3 gas crew cab Lariat ultimate black edition 250 8’bed here. Window sticker available at link here but not there and BCE data is abundant since the 16. 
     

     

    Yeah I was just thinking it might be the spray in liner holding it up I have it as well.

    My 2024 F-250 Super Duty went into production 2 days ago and according to the web-site (image attached) the Window Sticker should be available.  But it is not!  How long should take for the window sticker take before it is available after the vehicle changes to "In Production"?

    Mine has been in production since 11/9 and the window sticker still isn’t available on the Ford link. I did find it @ fordwindowsticker.com

  6. Still not built and I haven’t received any notifications since my build week changed on 10/10. According to the tracker it went into production 11/9, 10 days later got a production date 11/19 and on 11/20 BCE data populated. Still no window sticker on the tracker link however I did find a window sticker for my truck on another site.

    Bingo.  I had a Zero in place of letter O in VIN on the module build data.  BCE is now populated, and there is a "G" at the end.  

     

    When I click on the "View Window Sticker" link from on the FORD tracker I still get the message that the window sticker has not been released.  Not sure what is up there as you don't have to enter the VIN.   I already got the window sticker through the link above.   Thanks for the info, again.   

     

    when I get shipping confirmation i'll send an update.  

    What link above are referring to as far as your window sticker? My truck has been “in production” since 11/9 still no date no window sticker.

    Curious if others are in the same boat.  2023 F350 Lariat DRW.  Ordered in July build date pushed back twice.  Last build date provided was 11/13.  To my surprise it showed it moved to production 11/9.  It's been sitting in production since 11/9.  Seems like some folks when they move to production it takes a day or two tops.  Just seems weird.  I don't know if it really never went into production or the system is not updating.  

    I’m in the same boat as you, mine went into “production “ on the ninth, no date no window sticker still. Definitely different than I remember when my 22 was built around this time of year in 21.

    I’m in the same boat as you, mine arrived in Tampa at the rail yard 20 minutes from the dealership (closer than I thought originally) on 12/5 on 12/8 csx said it was released to the customer. It’s still not at my dealership today. According to my dealership “released to the customer “ means it’s waiting on transport to the dealership. I’m back in town this weekend I will be stalking the rail yard and dealership tomorrow. Very frustrating!

    Good luck.  As a Ford employee, I pulled out every name I know and every contact trying to get my truck out of the rail yard, and in the end, it was sheer luck of the draw that I finally received it.  It was the most frustrating point of the whole frustrating process.

    I don’t want to expedite the process I just want the tracking information. I want to stay on top of the dealership as I don’t trust them to not sell my truck. They have been very unhelpful to say the least.
