Truck picked up and finished the 1600 mile drive home. Performed flawlessly, 18.1mpg @ 70. Trip home with the 2022 was a blizzard nightmare, this trip never saw one raindrop. Overall, VERY impressed with the 2024 F450. Feels mostly the same as the 2022, max recline seats were indeed worth the upgrade. Also the truck drives itself with the lane keeping and adaptive cruise. REALLY REALLY nice. Made 13 hour days driving nice. Can’t say I really feel any more beans in the HO motor, although I know they are there. Sounds the same. Transmission seems to shift smarter/harder, which I like. Felt like I spent way less time in what I thought was the wrong gear for speed/conditions. Exhaust brake feels stronger and more integrated with the 10 speed. Bed liner install Thursday, Duraflap mudflaps install tomorrow. It is no longer needed to upgrade to the quad lights, the stock LED lights in the 2024 Lariat are excellent!!! Duraflap is actually doing the install since it’s the first 2024 HO and they want to make sure they are the same and or document any changes in the product for others. Turns out they are in my small town where I live. Use Duraflap’s if you can, they really are a great company with a great product. I did the install myself on the 2022 and it was painless and easy.
Overall, what ever the process is and the hell you go through in the build process, be patient. This is an asset you will have for a long long time and try to look at it as what’s a few more months. I know, easy for me to say with mine sitting in the parking lot, but I did wait a year for the 2022 and felt the same way.

I spoke with Ford customer service this morning and they confirmed my suspicions. My truck has been released to bodyworks waiting on spray in liner and has an eta of 12/17 to dealer. Pretty close to the same timeline as for my 22, I think my 22 went into production 11/13 and arrived at dealer 12/10.
Well darn. I left anything off that I could get done locally and have a better warranty to boot. Folks that are getting ready to order, take note here. -

I'm told my truck is at the dealership getting prepped. They are installing the bed liner as they told me that could cause a delay if I ordered it from the factory. It was ordered 8/12, had a build date of 11/16, and with the holiday it took about 12 days to ship to dealer which is only 12 miles from KTP, Kentucky Truck Plant.
2024 F-250, Limited, CC, Short Bed, SRW, w/most other options
Awesome! Tell them to shoot you a pic!

I just talked to my dealer today, I got the same reply from him... unscheduled clean. I asked him my chances of my truck getting built, he said it will get built and they assigned me the lowest (best) priority number. Sounded like good news to me! Other that that news today, I haven't received any new notifications. My order was placed last week of July 2023 and I am one of the first orders on their list. My options are Lariat w/ultimate pkg, 6.7 HO, Baja interior, 5th wh prep with hitch, spray in bed liner, drop down running boards, pro pack and Rapid Red paint for the bigger options.
SO close to my build. My dealer in Arizona has MASSIVE allocations. They turn the trucks there. I’m guessing that is the issue with your build. Have you been watching the weekly Tuesday Long Mcarthur YouTube channel? You could determine in the Baja interior has come constraints.

I have only received two emails since my opening day order, the first gave me a build week the beginning of October then on 10/10 one saying that my build week changed to 10/23 nothing since. According to the tracker my truck went into production 11/9, received a production date 11/19 and BCE data populated on 11/20. Still shows in production. 450 lariat ultimate, HO, fx4 carpet delete, console vault, onboard scales, spray in liner.
Pull your window sticker up and in the special order box will be the production date. Interested in if there is a date in there. Could it be it didn’t pass some functional test? I spent a couple decades in airplane manufacturing and all manufacturing information/documentation follows the airplane at delivery. I wish auto manufacturing was the same. If they had to do a body work repair/brake system repair because of something happening in the factory you’d never know. So we speculate what the issue could be. We had situations all the time where there was an update to a product or process during the build process and things would have to be revisited and we’d have to chase the plane down the line.

Can’t see the pic.. which trim was it again?
id love to see a pic if you’d re upload one.
My 2022 and 2024 are both Lariat Ultimate trims. With the 2024 I checked MANY more boxes on the order sheet and a few options are now also standard in that package that weren't in 2022. This means the 2024 price is also way above the 2022. On the 2022, I didn't get the 360 camera package, supplemental heater and upfitter switches. Huge mistakes. On the 2022 I did get Adaptive cruise (should be mandatory) and on the 2024 this with camera package is standard on Lariat Ultimate package. Would rather NOT have the power running boards on the 2024 as I know it's something I'll get to fix someday. So over all, the 2024 was $9K more than the 2022, but I also added the Bed scales and Pro power in addition to the standard package changes above. Also the 2024 has the HO PowerStroke. Funny thing is, the BIGGEST thing I wanted on the 2024 was the side bed steps. MAGICAL. Had them on a Chevy 3500 I owned during the summer of 2022 when I didn't think the 2022 was going to be built at all.
For those of you that haven't experienced or are on the fence about the adaptive cruise/collision avoidance systems on ANY new car purchase, take the leap. It will in fact save you from disaster many times over and once you understand how it functions will make your travels SOOOO much more enjoyable.
Also, I get that people want what they want and there is nothing wrong with that. I myself however would NEVER miss out of production of a vehicle for years because of a trim level. The lariat Ultimate package with a couple more checkboxes puts you 98% in the seat of luxury (yes I ordered max recline). lolol Shiny power tailgate? Seat massage? Don't need it and thankfully I DISLIKE sunroofs anyway because at some point your going to get it fixed, especially in my climate. :-) Leave off ALL accessories that can be installed locally, all of them, not even a bedliner and your truck WILL get built. SO hopefully those getting ready to put in the order now will listen to the advice as it will save you massive headaches.-

My C8 took 14 months to get, was hoping this won't be a similar wait since I already have the new 5th wheel toy hauler and no truck.
Wow. I will be on the hunt for a truck camper now. I used to go massive 11.5' Arctic Fox. Going to go smaller/lighter this time. 5500#+ is too friggen much to haul around everywhere.

wow! Beautiful!!! Still waiting to hear anything.
Like my 2022 F450, took a year and was worth every second of it when it arrived.

Picked up my 2024 F250 last week at the dealer. Watched it get towed away today at 187 miles. Cylinder misfires and check engine light. I think it was on the assembly line when the strike started. Not happy.
Oh god no! My trucks maiden voyage will be 1800 miles heading home... And to make it worse, the truck was built on Halloween. This though could actually be haunted. Sorry this happened to you. -
Truck has landed...

This may have been the case years ago. But my module data had a G since September, months before the truck was built. And the BCE data showed up 36 hours before Ford Pass became available and 12 hours before the day my truck was built, and about 14 hours before my status added the date on the tracker In Production. So either they got my Built date wrong by a day and Ford Pass takes 36 hours after the truck is built to show up, or the module data is uploaded to the database prior to the truck entering final assembly.
The module data showing up is a great indication that your truck will enter final assembly within the next 12-14 hours.
Ordered a TON of new Fords, never heard of this.

The G means nothing. The module data is available 12 hours prior to your truck going down the line when it’s still a bunch of parts waiting to be put together. The BCE may be temporally plugged in on a workbench to configure it at the time the data shows up. But this data is a database of AsBuilt info for your truck that never changes. And can be used to reconfigure replacement modules to factory AsBuilt specs. Not a bad idea for you to keep a personal copy though.
As I’ve understood this for years, this isn’t correct. The As built to be loaded may be known based on engineering/options, the software is loaded on the assembly line, wirelessly now and the “G” is the final check in the system that it’s complete and correct. Probably a simple checksum report. It’s loaded there so that they can incorporate the latest engineering revisions. When your particular module, just pick one (heated steering wheel), it may be at a 1.0 revision level, or no software at all when actually manufactured. Since then with options, TSB’s and other engineering corrections, it may be MANY versions down the road before production of a particular unit. It may even change based on delivery location. For instance, did you know you can adjust the heated steering wheel temps with this data in Forscan? It is entirely possible that a default heat temp (degrees) is lower in a truck hading for Phoenix than barrow Alaska. I use heated steering wheel because I did have to turn my steering wheel temp up in my 2022 F450 a few degree as it would hardly get warm at all. Default temp was set to lowest based on this as-built data. Now it’s toasty warm. There is is a REASON they call it AS BUILT and not AS DESIGNED. when you are dealing with as built, it’s exactly that and that is why this data isn’t present until your vehicle is in it’s final stages and powered up. Being in lean manufacturing environment for almost two decades I can promise you that aren’t loading these modules individually on a bench anywhere.

Hey jarrsong when did you place your order and how long have you had build date? Thanks, Bob
Ordered 7/31/23. Had a build date in September but then the strike hit.

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.
Well that is interesting. Maybe a web page error? Clear cookies/cache and try again? Different browser? I've had this page load half way before and not completely load, no G at the bottom.

The module data is NOT coming from your truck. It’s the AsBuilt config that is forever saved by Ford in this database in case you need to swap a module or fix errors from bad configuration changes. It will never ever change at this site. It’s created a couple hours before your truck enters the production line based on your build sheet and 18 hours later used to configure your trucks modules. Nothing is alive. Doesn’t come from your truck. Created by Ford to be loaded into your truck and in case you ever.l need it down the road.Save this data in a safe place... You never know what the future holds for availability. If you've never have or will mess with Forscan, this data means nothing to you. If there is a "G" at the bottom of the list, your modules have indeed been physically loaded in the actual truck, it's powered and alive as you can't have a "G" at the bottom without the successful load of this data in the modules.

There are a LOT of variables that go into determining when you'll get scheduled (dealer allocation availability, part constraints, and other cosmic dice) so no one here can really give you an idea. Priority 19 is the default priority; if I were to guess that's the most common code. Several of us here ordered '23 and never got them, but who knows how '24 is going. Ultimately I'd say since you ordered a Limited you are likely in for a long wait.
This refers to a system to check in on the "call and response" of the networked modules in a vehicle. The site motorcraftservice.com/Home/SetCountry?returnUrl=%2FAsBuilt takes a VIN and then reports back any modules attached to that vehicle that are online. The only point is to confirm that the truck is actively being assembled as the data itself isn't really worth anything to us. But hearing a heartbeat is nice when you're expecting.
Interestingly enough, this data is all VERY important is you are messing with Forscan programming. I recommend printing to PDF and saving in a safe place.

Yes that is correct. Once your truck is alive it will have all kinds of code in the BCE modules.
Correct, with a "G" at the bottom...

So learning something.
My truck only has module data under the BCE. Not the PCM yet.
BCE is Body Control Electronics.
PCM is Powertrain Control Module.
Means the body hasn’t been connected to the power train yet. .
You won't ever have data under the PCM modules... Just the BCE with a "G" at the bottom. My 2022 F450 sitting in the driveway still has no PCM data.

Congrats!!! Did you get the HO option diesel? Just jealous yours is being shipped and I've heard nothing on my build that looks just like yours!
It is an HO 6.7. Here is the sticker data minus all the private stuff.

Now Shipped. Moving right along. Seems that Ford has really cleaned up it's production for 2024's.

Confirmed built. Now shipping. The 2022 I ordered took 5 months to get to dealer. "Boo" is getting closer to home. I named it "Boo" because it was built on Halloween. Please lord don't give me a haunted truck as I don't need that complication in my life! :-)

So on Friday it was updated with a new Production date, and today it is update to BUILT! And I was able to use the link you guys provided to get the window sticker, since the link that came with the email from Ford still does not work. Have a great week!
Awesome!

One of my ordered F450's has all of the modules listed, as well as has the "G" at the bottom. I spoke with salesman on Friday, and he said he looked into his orders on friday morning, and this truck shows as "built" but "sent offsite" which makes no sense, because there's nothing on this build that would require it to be sent offsite. So he mentioned he's a bit worried that it's not "completed", and missing something, like in 2021 when they all were missing some module or computer chip.
Interesting. As I understand it, if there is a "G" at the bottom, the "electronic" as built is complete. Meaning all modules have data loaded, therefore are there, no chip issues. But he still could true for "non-Module" constraints, say 5th wheel prep or something.

My F-250 XL original "In Production" date was 10/9/2023, but the strike put an end to that. No updates until yesterday...now it says 11/3/2023. Still no window sticker available.
So go into the link i posted above a few posts and pop your VIN in. This is reporting direct communication with the modules on your truck. It will give you more data than your dealer OR the email from ford as it will tell you if your truck is ALIVE or not. If it’s alive, communication beyond that is a formality. If no data “module” data is reported, your truck for sure isn’t alive. See sample module data. If you see this with a “G” at the bottom, it’s built and alive (powered).

Sure is great seeing so many getting their trucks delivered! So far I'm loving my 2024 F450 HO. Can't wait until Spring when I can hitch the dump trailer up and give it a workout. For those ordering/wondering, It took me 5 months from order to delivery and that was with a strike in there as well. Enjoy your trucks!
