Where are you located and how much for the winch?

My wait is over as well gents. I did a search this weekend and found this 2021 F350 Lithium gray Tremor,Lariat Ultimate, BAP, AS, 5th wheel prep, bed liner fully optioned out with 4540 miles on the odo and only in service 6 months. I called the dealer and placed a deposit over the phone on Sat purchased the truck and drove it home Sunday. I am done with all the bumps and guessing. We needed a truck to pull our camper and this is perfect. I called my dealer and canceled my 22 order and my fund was processed while on the phone. All the best gents on your orders, I just could not pass this deal up. Thanks to the moderators on here, they do a great job. Onward!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

No marketing genius here and won’t ever claim to be. But sadly the guy at the dealership is obviously pretty out of touch with the direction Ford and likely other manufactures are heading. Lots full of inventory at least according to Ford are going to be a thing of the past according to this link. Having lots of inventory sitting on a dealers lots will no longer be. Like it or not, this certainly appears the way the Ford and the auto industry as a whole is moving for more profit. As said in an old folk song, “the times they are a changing”. https://fordauthority.com/2022/03/about-one-third-of-new-ford-sales-now-coming-from-customer-orders/

I tow a travel trailer and prefer the factory rake. So no leveling for me.

They might not look great but they sure keep the road rash and rock dings off my travel trailer. 😉

This is an excerpt of a really long well written and very informative post on vehicle ordering posted by the Moderator Ice Capades. It is very plausible that Ford skews scheduling to higher content models to maximize profits. This along with supply chain issues and parts shortages and shift reductions only add to wait times.

Yes, same here. It appears to be down this morning.

This is long but an extremely well written description of the ordering process by Ice one of the moderators on here. I hope he does not mind me reposting. Thanks again Ice, always seeking knowledge here. Seek and you shall find.
