It is the 8' bed. It rides very nice, and you don't really notice the length. But, I'm also used to driving a firetruck.
Agree with Cyberdman here. For some reason the bed here looks longer than 8’ , more like 10’, but we all know that 8’ is the longer bed from factory.
Enjoy your new beast with nicely matching Fuels!

Mine said order by OR take delivery by 4/4
I get it. There are those who received a PCO after ordering, so to apply it they have to apply it by delivery date.

Why would you sign all the paperwork and complete the sale before taking delivery? What if there's a problem with the vehicle such as a mechanical issue, serious in-transit body damage, etc.?
Lately i’ve seen people doing it to apply an expiring 4/4 PCO which stated “…take delivery by 4/4”.
I assume if something went wrong on delivery they can rip up the paperwork, get refunded, etc? Not sure how easily it would be to back out of a signed sale contact.

Thanks. I view this as positive news. From Delay-Volume to Delay-Rail Carrier in one week, it seems to be making steady progress through the delay statuses?

Vehicle Visibility - Delivery Milestones (03/07/2022)
Ford_Vehicle Visibility Delivery Status for Delays_2022-03-07_Delivery Milestones.pdf
Thanks again ICE. This is so timely. My truck is sitting on Delay Volume hold at KTP, while other trucks built after me, going to the same dealer, are shipping out business as usual the next day after being built. Can’t make logical sense of it; just bad luck i’m guessing.

@787Toolman you took the words out of my mouth! I love the rig, but what I immediately noticed was the garage door. I thought I was weird ?
Every Superduty owner dream door!

Congrats, looks great...That's one hell of a garage door, must be 12' tall?
Yep, that’s good enough for at least a 20” lift!

That VIN number is a 2022 vin. If for some reason your build gets delayed past the 2022 model year then you have to reorder a 2023.In your experience, has it ever happened that someone with a VIN did not get build in that model year? I understand if someone is unscheduled clean and their order would need to be resubmitted for the new MY, but i wonder if receiving a VIN is a near guarantee that one will get build.

So does “downtime” = closed? Or just down to one shift again this week?
According to all the news articles, the entire Kentucky plant will be closed this week. I’m not a journalist to verify this information, but coming to the thread and implying “fake news” on Ford Authority article does nothing but poisons the already anxious and frustrated thread.
“The Kentucky Truck Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant will both be closed starting March 7 and, hopefully, it'll only be for the week.”

Curiously is KTP up today producing SD’s or was the “Ford Authority” article correct? I have my opinion on articles that are subjectively written by Ford Authority but I will refrain from commenting on that.
Subjectively written by Ford Authority? Really?Ford Authority article was referencing a CNBC article, who in turn was quoting Ford. Why didn’t you mention that, doesn’t fit your narrative of everyone around lying to you?
“Ford on Thursday confirmed production downtime next week for Ford Super Duty pickups and Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs at a plant in Kentucky and medium-duty trucks and chassis cabs at a plant in Ohio.”There have been 1/2 dozen other news articles since that all with same information.

Yup. 100% And for me, no more or less so than any other post including yours. But ask yourself why did Ford make the valence that deep. Just for fun?
Could be many reasons, one of them to hide components out of view - on a non tremor SD versions theres a metal piece which protrudes and can be easily removed, valence hides it. Also, it’s a trend nowadays to add valences and ford follows along. And of course it actually has to do with aerodynamics, not questioning the science. But 70 miles = 4-5 gallons win because of a larger air dam, i don’t think you believe that one either.

LOL ... That's my favorite. Plain bright white, tinted windows, and BAP would be my first choice. I like the Storm Trooper look but it isn't available on the Platinum ?
Then go for star white, thats actually what comes with BAP lariat and the platinums, the government oxford doesn’t.

Guy on another forum went from factory to tremor unit he's down @ 60-70 miles per full tank. He also has heavier bumper but at today's gas prices even if its 20 miles I'll run factory in summer. I dont mind the way they look.
Anecdotal story at best. “The guy on another forum “ is in no way a trusted source for a mile hit from a tremor valence.

The only color that i would vote against is oxford white. Those are municipal, city work trucks, leave it for government folks.

Atlass- not all folks share your sentiment about Montana being hell.
For every one person leaving MT, about FOUR are moving in to MT.
Seriously, you can tell he was joking pertaining to his situation of a rail car being stuck there. I’m sure we all love Montana for the wonderful state that it really is.

Notified yesterday moved from March 7 to March 14. Hahaha, whole new level of waiting. Still better than not knowing if it would get scheduled at all before MY23.
Brace for more delays, unfortunately. Nothing you can do about it but be mentally prepared for a longer wait.
“The company will also operate a single shift or a reduced schedule at factories in Dearborn, Kentucky and Louisville, while eliminating overtime at an Oakville factory in Ontario, Canada. All of the production changes will be in place during the week beginning Feb. 7, Ford said.”

Got the email this morning, scheduled for March 7th. At this point I don't even care if it gets bumped back a time or two. My main concern was that it wasn't going to get built at all before MY23. I'm sure as the date gets closer I'll change my tune a bit. I also think I was driving my wife crazy so she's happy now also. ?
Congrats! Seems like Ford got around to scheduling a lot of trucks today that were waiting for a while already.

@ice-capades can you please explain what this means in the scheduling notes, is this some sort of an internal system change?
“As previously announced, CONCEPS will stop accepting new stock & retail orders (non-fleet), including order amendments, on F-150 & Super Duty on 2/4/22”

I had this same question on my 2022 F450 Lariat order. It’s actually a long story, but I ordered a SRW F350 in August and it was built delivered and paid for in late November. It actually sat at the dealer for a few weeks while they replaced a gateway hub computer. I took delivery and 48 hours into ownership it had a massive electrical issue that that fried the main computer or gateway hub again. Ultimately this was replaced 3 times along with other electrical components (at the direction of a Ford tech was flown in to diagnose the issue) but after a short time it would cut out again. This truck then sat inoperable in my driveway for 3 weeks over the holidays while Ford and the dealership were figuring out what to do. Needless to say, they had to unwind the purchase and they ordered me a F450, guaranteed the price at time of ordering and also had my PCO and rebates put back in the system.
Getting the F450 scheduled was a completely separate issue but after ordering on 12/07 it was just scheduled for a build week of March 7th. I have remained calm throughout the whole process and I know it wasn’t my dealers fault that Ford sent them a bum truck. My F450 build was moved from a priority 2 to a priority 1 and then it scheduled the next day. Hope this helps.
A very interesting story of your very unpleasant experience. Sorry to hear what you’re having to go through.One interesting observation though, priority 01 still means something at Ford scheduling office. Being scheduled the next day is something! But priority 02 no longer amounts to much in 2021-2022, with so many orders sitting at 02 for many months, some have even reported a ridiculous 5 month wait at 02. My own 2022 F150 order has been at 02 since early November, will be exactly 3 months come next week. I keep hearing stories that before Covid priority 02 normally had one scheduled in less than a week.

I know that Ford is doing their best to fill the orders in a timely maner and it is good business to take care of the customer. I am willing to wait as long as needed to get a new F-450 knowing the commodity restraints are limiting Ford's ability to build super duty trucks.
The main point of my previous post was that my dealer told me that I was responsible for all price increases until the widow sticker was available. I know there was a price increase the end of last year and there may be an additional price increase before my vehicle is scheduled to be manufactured.
Would you please point me to any external documentation that retail orders are automatically priced protected to the price at the time the vehicle was ordered and not the time when the window sticker is available.
I am very sorry for bringing up the delivery delay and apologize for my previous post.
Thanks for your help in advance!!
Go back a few pages on 2022 Superduty Production thread and you will find the memos ICE posted on Ford Superduty price increases and their so called automatic price protection.

Was the most frustrating part of the whole experience for me because it was not expected.
I can only imagine, so close and yet nothing you can do about it but just anxiously wait for the call. Glad you’re over it now.

Mine spent 3.5 weeks sitting in a rail yard 60 miles from my dealer as well. Waiting on final transport. I tried many avenues to arrange private transport but it was an impossible mission(im in the automotive industry as well and have many connections and contacts in the transport world, but it was still a bust).Is it as OP stated a problem of finding drivers for the last leg of the trip to the dealer? I understand a truck waiting a month near the factory for a microchip, but waiting a month after it has been dropped of the train, i just did not think something like could happen.

Bump.
Please check for the latest update. FYI, last week I received a “Shipped” email from Ford and then another email next day with a 1 months delay in delivery ETA. Not sure what to make of it.
Thanks!
