This is the updated (3/17/23) job 2 dealer order guide. Attached... 2023-03-17 Super Duty Pivk Up Order Guide.pdf

Postings on private FB groups this morning from people who work at KTP indicated they got the OK on diesels yesterday. There's been multiple diesel tracker screenshots posted in the last 24 hours showing built AND shipped.

Yes the first '23s have been making their way to dealers with a few actually in customer hands. At this point they are all gas (7.3 specifically) as the diesels haven't begun shipping yet. The factory seems to be in full production mode though, and things are now getting sceduled. There are lots of threads that explain the process, but in summary to make sure you get scheduled: You need to not have any options that are constrained (unavailable), and your dealer needs to have allocation available (dealers are allotted a certain number of trucks out of the total production). Then if both those are met, the order priority code that your dealer sets controls how soon you get picked from their orders. This is typically 10-19, with 10 being first and 19 being last among their group.

Word has been EPA certification hasn't gone thru yet on the 6.7 this year. This would seem to jive with 7.3s starting to move first. I would speculate that with the oktb passing that once this happens they would be clear to ship, but no confirmation of this anywhere.

Word from a KTP employee on private FB forum dedicated to 22/23 production/scheduling (and others have subsequently chimed in that claim separate sources with same info) that the plant got the OK to start shipping. From what I gather, this means they are going to start pulling built trucks out of 'storage' back to the plant to run them through programming and inspection and begin moving them out.

I would suggest deleting the liner because it's generally considered pretty inferior to other aftermarket products. I know there are guys who have had good experience with the factory spray-in, but if you do a quick google on the subject, you'll find plenty of info on it and likely come to a pretty quick decision. You can get a better product with better prep work done with a linex/rhino/etc. Also, yes, it seems to be a consistent problem that holds up orders.

This video is probably the latest and best actual info there is as of last Thursday. An interesting point to remember is that the order guides were not complete with all the job 2 options when the guide was initially put out back in October, so as soon as the updated guide is out you will want to update your order with the dealer before scheduling happens.

There was a call with dealers today; Tim @ Long McAuthur did a quick video on some of the content. He specifically talks about the OKTB situation and says they were told late Feb/early March - "any day now" is expected. He talks about this just after the 1:00 mark. Video:

Mine up at the top has codes in CERT/TRD/CAMP also. I believe that date under 'special order' you have circled as 'invoice date' is actually the day the window sticker was first generated. I'm surprised that more info on these hasn't been decoded at this point. FYI you blanked out the end of your vin in the upper right, but that large PECxxxxx in the green box is the other half (the part that's vehicle-specific and they must use to identify on the line). It really doesn't matter anyway, VINs are published all over the place.

What I have seen posted in some private FB groups by other people 'on this inside' was that they have two holdups. #1 fixing some gas engine issue but probably the actual holdup is #2 getting final EPA approval on the diesel before they are allowed deliver anything. This would seem to fall in line with many rigs showing produced, some with chip holds but many others without, but nothing has been moving yet. FWIW; obviously just speculation on secondhand knowledge but makes sense. I know there's been just a couple photos showing up of rigs on carriers, but who knows where those are going or what they're for. If the former is true, it'd be interesting to keep tabs on if they appeared to be gas or diesel.

This is incorrect. If anything, the first part of production seems to be really 450-heavy (or at the least DRW heavy). Over on FTE a ton of 450 orders are in production. Job 2 is King Ranch, Platinum and Limited (AND most of the new/techie options regardless of trim level).

Your rear axle weight is fine. The overload springs touching is normal when it's under a load, it's what they are there for. It doesn't mean you are overloaded. If the rear axle weight is 7260 and you have a RGAWR is 9900 then you're 2640 under.

Just the 45 day emails. I'm not sure that Job #2 start date has been set yet. so probably won't see scheduling happen until at least that is known. Last I saw was April for that.

Mine's been 'in production' since the 22nd but haven't seen anything like that on vvr/vinview, so i went on ford chat and asked if it was in fact chip/parts hold or what. Was told no, it had been sent to body shop on the 3rd and once done there it would move into awaiting shipment. Although they didn't know what for exactly since it would be specific to the build (450, NO spray-in liner). I wonder if it's a specific option you have that's holding things up, what'd you order?
