2023 Super Duty Orders & Discussion
KevinLK replied to ice-capades's topic in F-Series SuperDuty Forum
I'm at 496 today :). However, I'm lucky enough to have mine ready to pick up at the dealer. I just need to get to Iowa, which will likely be in a week or so. It's been a super frustrating process. I bailed on my original Platinum order because I was tired of waiting and wanted it by this summer. I also didn't want to pay an additional $8k. Ticked about the non-LED taillight thing. My 2017 mid-level Tahoe has LED taillights. I don't see any case against Ford. Everything is subject to change at any time. I suspect that having LED taillights in the order guide, etc. was just a miscommunication between product mgmt and the doc people. Happens all the time. Anyway, good luck with yours! I'll post some picks when I get it. -

Yeah, the '22 SD's lost them for about 4 months of production last year. You got a ridiculous $300 credit if they were deleted. -

I see that my Lariat window sticker does not mention LED tail lights, although it does list LED REFLECTOR HEADLAMPS and LED CTR HIGH MNT STOP LAMP. I would think that if it was going to get the LED tail lights, they would be listed, too. I was happy to see them in the order guide and disappointed to hear that they aren't showing up on trucks. -

Nice! The truck looks awesome. Did you get Duraflaps all around or are the front factory flaps okay. I'm waiting on a 2023 450 to show up and the Duraflaps will be one of my first additions. -

That's fine with me. If you can't get it hitched up with the camera, you need to find something else to do, anyway. -

Sadly, I expect to see KR's, Platinums, and Limiteds driving around before a lot of us see our already built trucks. -

I'm wondering if the trucks already built with the Tow Tech package will get the Trailer Hitch Assist added before they're shipped. I'll bet it's just a software change. -

Apparently some FB plant guys are saying that you got oktb on diesels Friday and several people say that their diesel has shipped. Have you heard anything? -

I totally agree with that. I keep waiting for them to start dropping features. I'm half surprised that they opened up the J2 order banks. If they can build those, maybe than can ship ours. -

I saw someone announce that the Job2 order banks open this afternoon. Those trucks will probably be delivered before our Job1 trucks that have been sitting around for over a month. -

You're a better person than I am if you're just slightly frustrated . -

Does that mean back to producing 6.7's? I had read somewhere that you were building only gassers for a while. -

Can you drop any clues about when oktb might happen for diesels? I've seen 4/13 tossed around, but that's awfully late and hard to believe that no diesels will ship until then. Thanks! -

That would be awesome, but I've heard this so many times over the last month. It's proven to be a big disappointment each time, so it's hard to get excited about it. Ha Ha. I see you edited your original post a bit :). -

I have yet to see a post about a salesperson that has a clue about what's going on. -

You might want to look at something like this. I see them mentioned a lot in the Tremor forum. Morimoto LED Headlights -

Sounds like an exciting end to the trip! glad it all ended up well. Thanks for the info on the truck. We'll eventually have a 700 mile trip from Iowa to Denver if it ever gets delivered (it's a '23). I'm anxious for it to happen. Bummer to hear about the headlights. I know that you can get aftermarket LED lights, but I think they're pricey. I'll have LEDs, so I'm hoping they're good. Have fun with your truck! -

Looks awesome. I'm waiting on a Rapid Red 450, too. How was the 1750 mile ride? Rough or okay? Did it pull from grooves, etc., like I hear with the 19.5's? MPG? Sorry for all of the questions, but I've been curious. -

I went through the whole frustrating process last year while waiting for a MY22 order that was never built. Don't expect to get any insight on anything that happens, good or bad. -

That really stinks. I've seen a number of two month pushes. Pure speculation, but I'm wondering if it's partly because they still haven't shipped any trucks and have dug themselves quite a shipping hole. Maybe they need some time to climb out a bit. Like the old saying goes, "If you find yourself in a hole, quit digging." -

Thanks for the info. Does that mean you can't get OKTB until you are running at full production speed? -

KevinLK replied to ice-capades's topic in F-Series SuperDuty Forum
Can you shed any light on OKTB? I was originally excited to be early in the production cycle, but I suspect that it's going to turn into a shipping nightmare. With nothing shipping and 1000's of trucks being stashed in every nook and cranny, I figure that I'll see mine (built 2/6) when the plant has to shut down '23 production for '24's. -

I think that everyone is just waiting for Ford to start shipping. I've got a 450 Lariat Ultimate that's been in production for over two weeks. A tech at the plant said that it's built, but on "Launch Hold", which I believe will be lifted once the plant passes the "ok to buy" review. That's hopefully going to happen today. Fingers crossed. It's a bit depressing seeing photos of the speedway full of trucks again. I hope that shipping is less of a disaster than it was for '22's. -

I'll admit that I'm no expert, but typically, "sent to the plant" has meant that it's about to go into production. Maybe it's a terminology issue. If you don't yet have a VIN, I'm not sure what it means. -

Nice. When is your scheduled build date?
