I also got scheduled on Thursday for Sept. 26. Ordered 1/29/22. 250 CCSB 6.7 Platinum with extras like clearance lights, bed step, moon roof, console vault. Advised not to order AS.
Lifelong F150 owner moving up to Super Duty and 5th wheel camping. Ordered a camper before the truck not having a clue about how bad things were at the time or how much worse they were about get.
Joined this forum - learned a lot. Dropped 5 prep and bed liner back when it was all the rage.
Shortly after learning camper was ready soon, took the opportunity to buy an Anti Blue XLT ult. F350 CCLB 6.7 that someone ordered and passed on. Paid MSRP minus 2500 customer loyalty. Figured why not? The way things are, buying a brand new XLT to drive and pull with while I wait for the Platinum - with the intention of trading/selling the XLT with a few thousand miles on it for a potential profit actually makes financial sense. Took the wife a little longer than me to wrap her head around that! I then put 5 prep back on the order.
Can't wait to see what the dealer offers me to trade it IF/WHEN the new one gets built and shipped. Or maybe I'll sell the XLT myself if I find a buyer willing to wait with me? Central PA.
