My dealer also sent me screenshots from their VINview system while it was in transit. After waiting a year and a half, it was a very welcome site to finally "see" something concrete!

I believe the 3 of us have the F350 Platinum and pretty sure they rolled down the line at fairly close to the same time in January (mine arrived at the dealer on 1/18/24). Although not concrete, you might think the same version would be on all 3 of our trucks being so close together. Of course that's just a thought as I know well enough things can change one day to another in that regard. I've had my software updates set to automatic and I check my router every morning and can see the communication to the Ford servers overnight. Still showing me as up to date. Maybe they discovered issues with that newer version and stopped pushing it out (I can only hope). But I'm going to still leave my updates set to automatic as it won't be a show stopper if I get the version you guys have and I lose the HUD nav. If anything changes, I'll be sure to update this thread.

Correct. I DO see navigation instructions when using either Google Maps through Android Auto or the built-in Navigation on the truck. Here are a couple of pictures I've snagged.....

I can confirm that both my built-in navigation as well as my Android Auto Google Maps navigation both show up in my HUD. I just took delivery of my 2024 this week. The Sync 4 version for mine is 23167_PRODUCT, Revision 926.

Nitto Ridge Grapplers, 37-12.5-20. The wheels have a +1 offset. I wanted a more positive offset around +20 but this particular wheel only had +1 and -18. I liked the style so much, I decided to go with it. I have the heavy service front suspension and was hoping not to have any rub. But there was a tiny bit of rub on the inside fender on the cab side. The little plastic piece that sticks out towards the midline of the truck was getting rubbed when turning about halfway. I've since trimmed that piece and it is still very close. Not sure yet how it will be with truck flex in turns, etc.

Lol. I think it will do. ?

So I finally picked it up yesterday afternoon after the long wait from 2022. Got the Retrax and spray-in liner done. Had the new wheels and tires put on this morning. Benefit of the LWB.......all 4 of my OEM takeoffs are laying inside the bed with the cover closed! Here's a quick shot as it has been pouring down rain this week.......

Well, a lot has happened in the last 7-10 days. The dealer sent me a screenshot of the VINview tracking and it was on rail in Arkansas making it's way to the DFW area on Friday (a week ago). It made the final truck leg to the dealer yesterday (Thursday). It's going for the spray-in bed liner and tonneau cover today and hoping to get it in my driveway tomorrow. Then I'll get the new wheels and tires first thing next week. Pictures to follow after that. But after my 2023 order from 2022 fell through and this order from July '23, I'm ready to put all of this ordering and tracking angst behind me. But here's the timeline for those waiting for similar builds (my build in the sig below). Mine also includes the 5th Wheel prep and Heavy Duty Front Suspension.

Should have waited one more day before posting this yesterday. I'm back to seeing some movement again. Noticed last night that the BCE modules all populated and then this morning the tracker updated, showing the truck as built. I'll keep saying "the" truck and not "my" truck until I have this thing in my driveway.

My production week has now come and gone with no updates for a production day. Was hoping to see something change on the tracker at least by today (1/8/24). My dealer told me back on 12/20/23 that the build "date" was 1/7/24. And I did get the window sticker on 12/21/23. The excitement of finally getting a production week after my original order was placed in 2022 has once again started to wear off.

Thanks for those pictures and congratulations on taking delivery. I have a long bed F350 Platinum Glacier Gray that is scheduled for build for this week (still no update though). I originally hated what I was seeing in those first pictures of GG. But it has definitely grown on me. It's just one of those colors that changes with every view, lighting, camera, etc. I think I'll be ok if I can just ever get my butt in the seat of my own!

Agreed. Underwhelming for sure. Thanks for the close-up.

Is there any hint of metallic in that? It's Glacier Gray "Metallic" Tri-Coat but I have yet to see a picture that makes it look anything other than flat.

Edge, Chrome, and Chrome Incognito all show the same for me. The G is always present with no module data. Thanks for the info. ?

Yeah, I've been hoping for some different outdoor pictures to make me believe this color is even remotely close to the order tracking image below. Quite disappointing to see how far off the color is. My monitors are color calibrated for accuracy so I know the color palette on the build and price page is just not accurate to the real world paint mix they are using for Glacier Gray.

I've seen this mentioned before regarding the "G". However, my 1/1/24 scheduled build for my F350 Platinum clearly shows the "G" at the bottom. And obviously no module data is populated since the scheduled build week is still over a month out. Curious as to how the "G" is any sort of an indicator of things.

As I anticipated, the moving target of a production date for my F350 Platinum has changed 4 times since the strike ended. Went from 12/25/23, to 12/18/23, back to 12/25/23, and now today it moved out to 1/1/2024. Again, not surprised. I'm a sadist and check the status WAY too much, lol.

My Platinum F350 order had moved from 11/20 to 12/11 prior to the strike. And now as of yesterday, mine also moved 2 weeks to 12/25 week. So much for any Christmas miracle for me. ?

I finally got scheduled for production. Started with my order in October of 2022. It was never built. The new order for 2024 was placed on 7/19/23. Today, the email states the scheduled production date is the week of 11/20/23. Hopefully it sticks, but of course this is likely a moving target. Oh, and my priority code was at a 10. I had another post recently about my dealer changing it from a 3 back to a 10 based on what his zone manager told him to do. I have zero idea why that would make anything better. But, it's scheduled and has a VIN regardless. My build detail is as follows.... F350 Platinum 6.7L (regular) FX4 Heavy-Service Front Suspension 5th Wheel Prep LED Roof Clearance Lights Max Recline Seats 8' Box Glacier Gray Tricoat Black Onyx/Carmelo interior

What trim level?

Thanks ice-capades. That's what I had assumed was the case. Coincidentally, after I posted this earlier, I had a call from the GM of the dealership a short bit ago. Seems the salesman didn't relay the info to me correctly and he wanted to clarify as I had voiced my complaints quite loudly of being bumped down to a 19. He said that they had just had a call with Ford yesterday and there has been a lot of problems with the new priority code assignments down to a 3. Since I was at a 3, apparently they found out that the system didn't exactly know how to handle a 3 and therefore would not get scheduled. So they temporarily moved mine to a 19 and that "flagged the order in the system". He has pushed me back down to a priority of 10 and he said he is staying on top of this and assures me he is communicating constantly with the regional rep, etc. And he assures me I am at the "front of the line". In other words, it sounds to me that they are trying to manage their USOB very attentively. At least that's the impression I got. But while I appreciated the call from the GM and the explanation, I still have that question mark in my mind about the whole priority code assignment. We will see what happens but at least the dealership sounds like they are trying to stay on top of the USOB as well as giving priority to those of us that ordered back in 2022 or earlier.

After seeing some scheduling starting up for the 2024's, I checked with my dealer to make sure my 2024 F350 Platinum order was still a priority 3 as that is what is on my order summary I signed on July 18th. Much to my dismay, they have changed it back to a 19. The answer I got was convoluted at best. But they state there are constraints and therefore they put it at a 19. Once the constraints are lifted, they will put it back to a priority 3. Does this sound accurate? I thought once they assigned priority 3 to my 2024 order (my 2023 which I never got order was priority 10), it would simply stay at a 3 and certainly not go down. He also provided this screenshot for my order status.....

So after 102 days after the last "45 day" email from Ford on January 29th, I got this one late last night. Had my hopes up when I saw an email finally arrive from Ford. But it's the same diatribe and my hopes were quickly dashed. Ordered on 10/28/22, priority code at 10.

What is your order date?

I'm with you on that. I got the same emails as you did on those dates. Then nothing since. I sure didn't expect to get my truck any time before the summer of '23 when I ordered on 10.28.22. But when someone says the word "promise", you sort of expect them to hold to it. My only hope is that the reason is that perhaps scheduling for my truck will happen soon and therefore they figured no need to send an email. But I'm sure that's just me pretending to not be pissed off at Ford. Still no update "as promised" now for 61 days and counting.
