  1. Whats the deal with the heavy shortage of HO engines...its been reported that Ford only has capacity to build 20 percent of remaining 6.7L High Output orders in the USOB. Can this ratio be improved for the balance of the model year or should be be assumed that 8 out of 10 6.7L HO unscheduled SD orders are not going to get built?  Personal interest (have a HO SD Tremor Ultimate that has been in the orderbank since early October last year).

    It seems like only the guys that are waiting for the King Ranch and above builds are in LIMBO and not getting scheduled....These upper Trim levels just are not being scheduled or built in any quantity.  Just the Lower Trim models.

    I have my 2023 Platinum VIN number, however, It is currently scheduled for 07/24/2023.....If that ever happens.....Looks to me that FORD cannot procure the parts to do these builds ( King Ranch and above) 

     

    Its also Lariat Ultimate Tremors as well

    For everyone still waiting on a scheduled build date, Ford Video Guy said in his live stream on Tuesday that next week is when dealerships get May allocations. I'm hoping that means a bunch of you will get scheduled build dates on Thursday. I'm pulling for each and everyone of you! I'm in love with ours. In my opinion, it was definitely worth waiting for.

    I am waiting on a scheduled build date ( Lariat / Ultimate / Tremor with 6.7 HO); dealer rang me up yesterday and advised the 6.7 HOs were in balance out and that his understanding no more 6.7 HOs for resto of model year. Curious if anybody has heard same from credible source (this is apparently separate from 6.7HO orders being shut down).

    My guess on the tails would be this. Lariats were never meant to get full LED for 2023. Just like they get the reflector LED headlights as opposed to projector. Someone at Ford, seeing that the reverse lights were LED, misrepresented the tails as a whole and now that the issue has been caught, Ford is removing mention of full LED tail lights from all literature and their website. 

    Wonder if those who waited on Job 2  and specifically are electing to get scales as a Lariat option (with the taillight LED indicators) will wind up getting full LED.

  5. My dealer has been told 23 production runs only through May this year at which point they will move to late Summer resumption with 24 my restoring original production cycle. If true this does suggest Ford is going to work more agressively to meet order demand and accelerate timelines previously circulated . BTW I too am a 350 SRW Lariat Ultimate (but with Tremor) ..similar order entry dates and receipt of the 15 December standard supply chain constraint form email from Ford. Have not been scheduled.

     

    The 150K order received was as of the end of November (doesnt account for additional orders received this month).

    Regarding J2 availability list on page 2... Do you interpret Onboard Scales & Smart Hitch as being a standard feature on Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited? I don't see it listed as an option anywhere else in the order guide, so I'm assuming it is standard as long as you wait for J2. Thanks.

    Not standard on Lariat...the Smart Hitch doesnt come into play until you get the Tow package or the Lariat Ultimate (which includes the tow package). The Scale is a separate J2 option.

    If you look at the order guide on Page 4, the limited has the heads up display.  HUD is on lariat with ultimate package, King Ranch, Plat, Limited.

    Page 4 addresses the King Ranch, Plat, Limited specifically, not the Lariat. Attempted to confirm this evening with my dealer rep that HUD was included in the Lariat Ultimate package and according to him it is not on there. Is understanding is that HUD can not be had on the Lariat. 

     

    Is there any authoritative Ford reference that states HUD can be had on the Lariat if the Ultimate Package (or some other package/option) is selected?

    I was able to get the system to add it by choosing the wheel that comes with the Sport Package. I think it was $2,880 option on the XLT

    Dont see how that would work in my case ...I want to combine the Sport with the Tremor package on the Lariat. Pretty sure that is supposed to be feasible but the site doesnt allow it evidently.
