The eagle has landed. Well worth the 9+ months.

I went into production last week, and the window sticker shows the credit for the removal of the MCS.

F250 KRU, 6.7, Tremor. Ordered 11/15. After months of production start push outs, I checked today and it shows as in production. I even got a window sticker! The window sticker shows the $310 credit for the MCS. I'm putting the over/under at the truck hitting my dealership in NH at September 15th.

I have STILL not heard a peep from my dealer regarding this issue. NOTHING. I'm glad you got your truck with minimal compromise. For those of us that will take delivery of trucks that do not have all the options we wanted, I wonder how many will be traded in in the first 12-24 months when this crunch is over. I'm sure we will take a bath on the re-sale values.

The fact that I learn about this on this forum and NOT my dealer is BS and is indicative of my dealership experience since November of last year. I will reach out to them today for clarification. If I am affected, I may still take delivery and put it up for sale. Let me know if anyone would be interested as I am scheduled for production on June 13th. F250 King Ranch, power stroke, KR unlimited package, chrome package, Tremor package. Color is stone gray.

I get the same BS from my dealer. It's like they are like politicians reading from a talking points memo. BLA BLA BLA

So I paid the dealership visit and was told that I can still add vinyl flooring, but it would definitely push my delivery date out further. Thanks for the suggestions above. Sounds like I will have to try door # 2.

I wish I had thought about that earlier but I will reach out to the sales MGR and see if I can still make the change. Thanks for the idea.

My build date moved back to 5/30. Memorial Day. Not sure how to feel about that as I don't do my best work on either side of a holiday weekend. At any rate, it is starting to feel real. Has anyone figured out how to protect the carpet in the back seat from dogs? I have 4 labs that go with me everywhere, and I'd prefer if they didn't stink up the truck immediately. To fit them I pretty much keep the rear seat folded up so they have more room My current set up was available from weather tech and has worked really well for the past 3+ years but they don't offer anything for the 2020 SD with the fold down storage. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm really glad you brought this up as it is my main concern. Getting out of a 2019 Tundra that should be good to go for 250k more miles with few (if any) issues and into a truck that was manufactured during a time when there are many & varied commodity restraints. The devil I know is not too bad...terrible fuel economy, lousy tech, fair/good towing but, zero issues in 3+ years.

Thanks for the tip on the fordtremor.com page. Seems like there is an equal amount of production related frustration going on over there.

You may be onto something. On 11/15 I ordered KRU with Tremor as well. So far nothing from the factory except the order confirmation on 11/17. Good luck.

Wow. I feel like I have no room to complain being at 168 days with a 11/15/22 order date. Ordered a 250 KRU w/powerstroke & tremor package. The only communication from the factory has been the confirmation email that I received on 11/17/22. The dealership has become much more responsive now that, thanks to this forum, I am armed with the right questions to ask when I drop in to seek updates. Still zero proactive communication from the dealer. I always have to initiate. This process is an exercise in patience.

I'm sure the dealer would love us to walk away. They can sell it for $15k to $30k over the pricing we locked in at. I've seen the exact truck I ordered with 4k to 15k miles at and over $95,000. Totally crazy. I hit 20 weeks this week and have only received the order confirmation email from the factory.
