Been a lurker for a while and have learned a lot from the discussions here. Placed my SD order on 1/31/22 received my confirmation email on the order the same day then nothing till 3/18/22 with an order update saying they are working through supply issues. F350 Lariat Super Cab DRW 6.7L that was pretty loaded is what I ordered but over time I kept removing items that were holding up production. Every change I made I would do in person with the dealer and I would get a copy of the order sheet. The last change though I did by Phone to remove the Spray in Bedliner, Tonneau Cover and Splash guards which leads me to why I'm posting. Stopped in dealer yesterday to see if they could adjust my Priority Code and asked for the latest order sheet for my records. I was surprised to find that there were price increases on 4 of the items that I immediately spotted between my 3/29 and 4/21 changes.
F350 4X4 Supercab DRW/164. $57005 / $57705
FX4 Off-Road Package. $400 / $495
5th Wheel Prep. $500 / $550
Destination & Delivery. $1,695 / $1,795
I was told at the time of order that I would have price protection and wanted to see if anyone else on the forum had encountered this and what was the resolution? The Sales manager was going to look into this and get back to me so I hope to hear something today.
Dealer should honor the price on your order paperwork (less anything you removed after the order). I have read many posts here that some Dealers were not honoring the price protection. I picked up my truck this month from the Dealer, the paper work they had ready showed the new MSRP (what as on the sticker) and no discounts that we agreed to were applied. I showed them my paperwork, and no argument, they updated the paper work. But, the second round of paper work was still wrong, they kept the new MSRP and applied the discounts we previously agreed to. Again, I pointed out the error to them (ie. price protection), and again with no argument they quickly changed the paperwork. The third time was a charm, and price was as agreed. So, you do need to watch them, and if you have a signed order, you should get the price you agreed to if the dealer is at all a bit honest and have integrity. Take your paper work with you.

Once you finally get a vin and production date, how long does it take to get the actual sticker?
fyi - My window sticker was available one day after the status of my truck changed to "in production".

Info: For those that ordered the factory winch which is installed by the dealer, make sure they provide the front license plate bracket (if you want one). The standard one does not work, but Ford sells a low profile one part number LC3Z-17A385-BA. My dealer did not know any of this until I did the research and informed them. My dealer did order it and installed it at no cost to me.

Seems like the older I get the less stuff I do. This time I ordered the mudflaps from the factory so I'll see how those work or not. With a lariat, it comes with running boards so I'll either get some 150 brackets for what comes with it to get them up close to the body or swap them out for some Raptor/Tremor board take offs. I'll have the dealer do the spray in bedliner. I'll need torklift tiedowns and will install the prototype lower stable loads they sent me to test out. Ranch hand full bumper is on the list. Not sure if I'm going to run the stock tires or swap them out for 255's.
Otherwise I'm transferring the stubby antenna, truck box, and bed mat that I have now. I'm in a quandary about floor mats. I did carpet delete again and want something to collect all the crud but not slide around like I have now.
I got the factory mudflaps, but too new to know how they will hold up. Also purchased a set of Husky x-act floor mats. They seem fine so far and looks like they will hold mud/water fine, but likely won't know just how good they are until we get some rain, or it is winter.

If you have certain items you can get some found and cut holes like a camera case or maybe find some organizer trays at Office Depot or Walmart?
Thanks for the ideas.

I had the console vault installed by factory...is there a console tray that will work with it? Suggestions? Basically, with the vault you just have a big box to dump your stuff in, and no way to organize anything.

Interesting, my dealer is 70 miles south of Denver and my rail car arrived at the BNSF Big Lift facility (not the UP one by I76) on Wednesday early AM and tracking showed the car released unloaded later that day. No idea how long it will take to get to my dealer from the Big Lift. I'm hoping for a week or less but I've heard that duallys may have limited spots on the transporter so it may be longer. I would have thought that all trucks from the Kentucky plant would go to the same facility in Denver. I guess some must go by different railways so maybe that's the difference?
Not sure which rail yard mine will be offloaded, I've not been tracking after shipped... so i can hope my truck is at least in one of those rail yards. Mine truck is a drw too. Big lift facility would make sense since it is closer to my dealer.

Visited the rail yard where our pickup is at somewhere for the second time this week hoping to get a look at it. It’s been a month to the day that it was built on 3/28. It’s been sitting at the rail yard since 4/17. There are probably 20 transports loaded and just sitting there. It was supposed to be delivered to the dealer on Sunday, but no go. Hopefully it gets delivered tomorrow as expected. ?
Can you share location of this rail yard. I think i recall you mentioned your dealer is 100 miles from Denver. My dealer is 30miles from denver and my truck was to arrive this week. Thinking my truck may be there too. Thanks

It’s an internal date that means nothing, Leave it alone!Okay, fair enough...so it means nothing only in the context of order tracking and for discussion in this forum...got it. But it does mean something to someone, or else why would a software engineer have written the software code to put it there, and change it upon a review/display event. ?
I was just trying to help hone in on a viable answer to those curious minds that were asking about it, and I thought icecapes response was reasonable.

Pretty close to the same truck I have on order and the timelines are nearly the same (especially so from the scheduling date on). My projected delivery window is 30 Apr - 6 May (I'm in Colorado). It will be interesting to see if the shipping/delivery projections are in the ball park or not.
For those who already have their trucks, how accurate has the projected arrival window been?
I'm in Colorado too. Also, my window sticker says "convoy" and not rail.

There is nothing mysterious about Window Sticker creation or display. All this talk about dates related to a vehicle's ETA at the ramp, when it was offloaded, etc. is all nonsense. The date in the "Special Order" section is the date the vehicle invoice was created. The date at the very bottom is simply the date that the digital Window Sticker file was retrieved from Ford's database and displayed.
Curiously....do you know what constitutes a "retrieved" and "displayed" event/action? I literally view my window sticker every day and the date at the bottom of the sticker does not change each time. My date also changed on and to 3/23 and then again 4/2. So, are consumers all looking at an "in memory" version of the window sticker, and then periodically (perhaps time based), it changes or refreshes on some cycle ? Again, just curious about what actually causes a "retrieval" and "displayed" action. I'll also acknowledge that 99% for forum members probably could care less, but it is in my technical mind seeking to understand your response further, if you choose to respond further on this topic. ? ?

I have morimotos in my 2019...They are no where near the quality of OEM LED lights. That is just my opinion though. I personally would not swap OEM LED for Morimotos.
I really have no basis for an opinion, just saw someone else on this forum mention them, and I looked them up on the Web. So, thought they were the go-to upgrade. and they seemed cool. ?

Not legally binding, but we both signed the dora sheet for x plan pricing. Nothing was stated about price protection as I was not aware of prices going up nor waiting 7 months when I ordered. Lol. So I haven’t touched the build since before the first price increase in December. I don’t know if going in early and talking price will hurt me or favor. I’m being cynical and I know not all dealers are bad, but what I didn’t know is we already started off on the wrong foot when they stated “x plan” pricing was not available to be shown on the dora. Only invoice and msrp he stated. Told me x plan would be slightly above invoice but wouldn’t show me that price in september for whatever reason.I don't know if going in early would help, but I can't imagine it would hurt wrt pricing. Technically, I think you could actually purchase before the truck is built/shipped/arrived... you just need the VIN. Anyway, my dealer mentioned that to me as an option in the context of tax implications.
I wish you the best with your decision.

So reading about this price protection is interesting and I’m currently trying to see what you all think may be the best option.
Truck is slated to arrive mid April, ordered in September. I have all documents since then including the original DORA before the two price increases. Prior to Dec 7, my salesman stated if price goes up they have to sell at that price. We didn’t talk much about price protection as I wasn’t aware of it. I don’t know if he is aware of it being a salesman on the floor or if that info is reserved for sales manager/accounting. I have both print outs from Dec and Feb I’ve found on the web to bring in.Do you all think I should go in there prior to the truck arriving to seal the deal on the vehicle and talk numbers (no signing until truck arrives) or wait till truck arrives? I was going to go through a credit union or different bank for lower rates than the dealer would offer. Figured it’d be easy to come in to pick up the truck and hand over money/sign paperwork. Thoughts? Would it matter, etc..?
Good question however, my 2 cents on this. For me, I did sign some order form (dealer signed nothing) that showed the build, MSRP, and discount they said they would give me off MSRP (which I had to initial), I gave them a deposit they said was non-refundable (they did not cash the check yet), they took a copy of my DL. However, if they change the agreed price on me, I am walking...if even increase by 1 cent. A deal is a deal for me. It is how I do business with folks (my word is my bond, and I expect the same from others that are in my sphere). I am paying cash (no financing), and technically I could pay whatever they asked, but I won't pay one cent more...I will only pay what we agreed upon. I guess it is a personal choice. I really do want my Super Duty, so hopefully my dealer will live up to their agreement.
