F350Fanatic

I got the 7.3 in my 2023 f350 lariat with 4.30 gears and it goes great. I’m getting 16mpg unloaded hey and about 9 towing my 30ft camper. Maintenance question…does anyone have a solution for the inaccessibility of the fuel filter? Manual says it’s a life of vehicle item which we all know is bs. Are y’all planning to retrofit a second filter in line that you can access to replace? Are you looking or an aftermarket tank that provides an accessible feature? What do you think?

My dealership hooked me up right and got my vehicle PDI’d quick. I’m so happy with it and it rides smoother than I expected especially considering it’s a 350. Thank you to all who answered questions and entertained all the crazy!

Today might be the day!!!!! Let’s goooo!

Mine said the same thing. I was in production for about a week and my truck shipped 5 April. Took 6 days to ship to Jessup Md and it’s been there for about two weeks just waiting on a transporter to load it up and drive it the last hour and a half.

Maybe my hopes are just too high hahaha. Yesterday it said shipping so I was hoping it had been delivered and ford purged my vin from their tracking system. Hahaha

So I tried to check my order status this morning and the website says it can’t process the order and the check the VIN. Does this mean my truck might be sitting at the dealer?!?!?

Does anyone know if/how you can track your truck from its final rail destination to the dealership? My truck arrived yesterday morning at Annapolis Junction just an hour and a half from my dealer. Is it even possible to know when it is scheduled to be delivered? My dealer says they often don’t know and that they just show up. VINView also said yesterday my truck was in Ohio when CSX said it had arrived to Annapolis. Thanks

Mine was in production for about a week before I got built status and then one day to get shipped status.

Just saw my modules populated today. Anyone have an idea how long it should be before I see shipping with an eta?

I have a question for those with experience in ordering vehicles from ford… my truck(f350 ccsb lariat non ultimate 7.3l) has been in production since 21 March. It’s now been over a week. When should I expect production to be complete(considering there are no holds on anything in my build)? When I got my VIN, my dealer thought delivery would be end of April or mid May but I’m eager to see what ford projects as a delivery date.

I wondered the same thing. Maybe even and over the air update for the existing packages. I doubt it because why would they raise the price like that instead of just saying the software would be made available later. The plot thickens. ?

Are you sure that’s true? That’s my thought as well but without getting the info from my sales manager I don’t know of any way to see the actual order codes to prove it. im sure we would get it for the original price too because of price protection.

That’s what I’m hoping. Interesting note…my build has the tow technology package and when I saw my sticker I was shocked to see the price change for it go from 925 to 1570. I didn’t figure It out until I saw his video. Fingers crossed it comes with the hitch assist. Total first world add on but it’d be cool to have.

That’s interesting. I wonder why they don’t have a blend date like every other vehicle. It would be great if my experience matches yours. We shall see!

That’s the same with me. It wasn’t till later in the day but super exciting to see. I still don’t have a blend date yet but I’m assuming that because my “production week” said Wednesday 29 March that 29 March will also be my blend date assuming no delays. We will see.
