Ordered 9/28, about two weeks before the strike. Confirmed 10/6. Scheduled week of 12/18. In production 1/2 (Modules populated so I assume it was complete from the production line). No there info available except it's on ramp Zq at Gfx. Yesterday was day one of the delivery windows. It's probably three weeks out. A little bit of everything made this truck a little late through the process.

I ordered the hard folding tonneau cover which is apparently holding the truck up. Built Jan 2 and sitting on a ramp at Gfx since then. It has been 3 months since ordering. Still better than my 2022 that took 11 months to get to me.

I use Flood Ford. No drama, easy to buy.

I was able to use X-Plan on my Lariat F450 (2022). Full truck, not cab/chassis.

I changed mine to Iconic Silver. I have an Atlas Blue now that I thought was a great color. For some reason, they dumped the Blue (not counting Antimatter). But I see many different colors of Glacier Gray in photos. I decided not to get a truck I couldn't look at with some love. Silver is not exciting, but I won't be unhappy I got that color.

Crazy that it's hard to get a read on this color in photos. Appreciate the pics though, I have one ordered. Can you see the metallic well? That Tri-coat paint is tough, but you have to like the color. I may keep it though. Leans more Gray than some photos I've seen which looks like baby blue.

Is there scheduling next week? I know plant is down for a few days but I didn't know if Ford would send out scheduled build notices. Asking because I came up empty with today's production lottery pick. Didn't know if I had another drawing next week or if I'm looking at 2 weeks from now.

After this contract expires, UAW is thinking they can do this again. I hope Ford, GM and Stellantis teach them otherwise.

This is the first time I have actually paid attention to a UAW strike, it's demands, it's impact on suppliers etc. I'm 63 so I've been around the block with jobs/career/personal finance etc. I am really a bit shocked at the mob mentality I am seeing with this strike. I find it alarming really. I could go on and on about some of the ridiculousness, but probably everyone here already knows it. This is not about a fair contract, it's about a fat contract that might have far reaching implications they want to ignore now. What's with the "Eat the Rich" sh*t anyway. The sense of entitlement here is almost beyond my comprehension. I have a Superduty on order to tow my camper. When I am done with that in a few years, there is not way I will buy another vehicle the UAW has anything to do with. I'm sure none of the UAW workers care about my plan, and in most cases insults would be hurled at me, but there is a snowball effect that could make them care at some point. To me, and my opinion, many of the workers are in a bubble outside the normal working class, even though they claim to be a part of it. Amazing stuff. Hope they get back to work very soon for the sake of the families negatively affected, not for the union. I may get trashed over this post, but I'm okay with the name calling and insults I get posting elsewhere.

The other two caught up to where Ford has been in negotiations and Fain is blowing them kisses. But Ford, who had these offers, is the devil. He has a real hard on for Ford.

Is there a link or something where I might find a document that states this? Dealer said they no longer price protect. Believe it or not, they have been wrong before. Just want to keep a copy in my folder while I await my new ordered 2024. Many thanks!!

Mine isn't a roll over. Just a new order.

Are the 2024 models price protected? If so, can anyone point me to the Ford web page or document? Thanks!!!

Did I read that right from Ford? Six digit incomes within four years? Wow. Just wow.

If you drill down into the connected features menu on the Sync 4 you can turn a lot of data transmitting off. But then you obviously lose the benefits of a connected system. I'm okay with it.
