    Been a silent observer in here since i ordered my f350 KRU LB 1/26. Dealer wasn't proactive, but thanks to these threads, I was well informed. After confirming that the fancy seats are being pulled, I decided to bail last night. I did a quick national search last night, and couldn't believe it, I found the near exact spec'd truck that I ordered in another state, down to the color...closed the online paperwork today and flying out to get Friday. Kind-of crazy, went from wondering if I really wanted to wait months for the 1/2 spec'd truck I wanted to knowing I'm getting nearly exactly what I wanted. I did lose x-plan, but this dealer is near MSRP...given the direction of rates and possible depreciation of my current vehicle, seems worth to me. Next step is to get the 1st dealer to cancel order...officially with Ford. Again, saw how to do that on this thread...probably more of a gesture, but maybe it can free up some commodities for all of you that have been waiting longer than me.

    does your new truck that you found have adaptive steering?  How were you able to do a national search?  I guess Car Gurus and others allow new car searches nationally, I tried it on Car Gurus, there are quite a few trucks available but only way I was able to see the WS was go to that dealer's website, then I found them to be custom orders.  Likely not even available.

    No AS...I didn't really want it...I've never had it, so probably won't miss it. My current truck is a '99.5 7.3l, so im sure it handles better than that. This was a custom order that got canceled because of wait time...buyer went another direction. Probably one of the many that I've seen on here that ordered  Ram at same time, and went with the one that was ready first.  I simply did a no limit search in autotrader. It was the 1st truck of 12 total trucks listed...I assumed it was a custom order that wasn't really available.
