Year’s ago, you could special order a BMW, take delivery in Germany and visit the area. Once done, BMW would ship it to your local dealer and it was done!
If my truck was sitting in a storage lot in Kentucky, I’d have no issue taking a flight there and making a road trip out of it to pick it up. Give me a tour of the factory, put me in a hotel for a night, and feed me a good steak!
Take off the $1800 destination fee and we are set!!! I’ll run it by my local dealer for a final inspection when I get back to the area!!!
You can still do that. You pick it up at BMW Welt (world) which is a huge museum in Munich. You pick it up at the end of the tour as you come down the giant escalators to the lobby and the car is on display and someone is there to go over every feature with you, then you drive out of the building and enjoy Europe. Porsche. MB, even Volvo does it. Volvo has it where you do a factory tour and you get to actually watch your car being built and you pick it up at factory. I had a fried pick his up in the early 2000s. I had a fried pick his M5 in Munich even though we were station in Germany.
My truck has been sitting in KY for two months. I would love to take the trip since I am only 8 hours away to get my truck.

I would believe what you are telling me when those people waiting are waiting for platinums fully loaded and the success stories with short builds are KR or Plats fully loading with the so called hold up items. I do however believe to a point on what you are saying about dealer allocations and what not. I am not new to how larger dealers get more allocations and quicker builds when it comes to special orders, but those dealers can't be so large to consume 90% of production line and squeeze out little guy mid west.

Thank you, I just don’t know how people are gettin lucky with these fast builds while others have been waiting 8-9 months if not longer. It’s only been a few months for me, but man the system is flawed.

So let me get this right. you in theory get an email with VIN shorty after your confirmation email from Ford after you place your order? Well then, either my dealer really sucks or I am a step behind. All I have received so far is the confirmation email from Ford saying thank you. I have used Ford chat a few times to check statues and got your order is in and will be scheduled to be built the next available date. But If special orders take priories take precedent over normal builds how is there so many costumers waiting a full child birth term for a truck? I don't know, just wondering.

I have AS on my 22 super duty build that I ordered right after thanksgiving with just an order confirmation and a projected 6-8 month wait time like everyone else, but I read other people get theirs built with like builds order to delivery in 3-4 months. So I have zero idea who you have to know, or what fancy dealer you have to order from, but this sucks if you need a truck. I ordered a 350 platinum CCSB with everything minus a bed cover, winch and PTO. I expect it will look amazing when it shows up though

Chatter is slow today. What’s odd. Is reading someone ordering a week before me and already having vin and build week. And i am singing on my thumbs hoping for a good time.

So for those of us that just ordered a truck within the last week or so, what the likely hood of it ever being built?

Has anybody that has taken delivery of their truck that was suppose to get the MC seats but did not get any discounts from dealer besides the 300 dollar credit from ford? I am to pick up my truck soon and will be fighting tooth and nail for more then just that 300 bucks with no work around or say so.
