Glad I didn’t take your advice. My 8 year old son said dad since you have the airbag system installed and you have another compressor with a tank and air plumbed in the bed, why don’t you add a horn? driving down I-40 with my fiver and a tractor trailer was merging into my lane and the only place I had to go was the ditch at 65mph. I hammered the horn and he just kept on coming. Luckily I remembered the new horn and hit the number 5 up fitter and laid down on it. that sumbitch moved back in his lane most rikki tik. Folks don’t listen to this crap advice. You do you and let the others be the Gladys Kravitz of the world.

Deep breaths my man.. just do what I did and wait 539 days for the exact truck you have always wanted.

Well, well, well… Wonders never cease. the wife snapped this pic from behind the dealership this evening. I’m heading back into town now to confirm the VIN. I still won’t believe it until I see it.

Welcome to the party pal 2 years to get built sitting in Louisville for over a month released… exact truck ordered 12/26 gets built 2 days after my 2 year old order and gets shipped the day after its a clown show with no rhyme nor reason zone manager ghosts sales manager ford marketing does nothing but confusion, misdirection and obfuscation nothing but give us a call again tomorrow and we may have news. when do 2025 MY banks open?

Nope typical ford. Ford ships it not the dealer, but it’s not surprising as it took them 2 years to build the truck. I will be surprised if I receive it by the Fourth of July.

Depends 450? a while high end 450? Quite a while 😂 I’ve seen gassers in 250 moderate trim being scheduled less than 60 days from ordering recently. my KR 450 took 2 years and it’s sitting in KY for the 3rd week awaiting shipment.

I swear some of you dudes are on the spectrum.

*Unless you got a 23.

Anyone want a black 2023 F450 King Ranch with 6k on the clock????

Wonders never cease…

I just installed one in my 450 due to a couple of posts in this thread ?

Good luck? there are over 29 thousand unscheduled super duty orders.

Can’t see the pic.. which trim was it again? id love to see a pic if you’d re upload one.

Get used to it? I'm on year 3 of my wait. I do have a 2023 KR 450, but it’s not what I ordered. I had to scrounge this thing up, and was only able to get it when the couple that ordered it backed out of their deal.

Are you ok? Is simple anger getting the best of you?

What trim are y’all’s 450s that are being built?

Well I didn’t get an email today??

I just went and made some changes with my dealer on my 2024 King Ranch 450 build. I am glad I have this 2023 KR I was able to source so I know better what I like and don’t like. It doesn’t affect my build as they are on strike and it never has been picked up yet? I deleted the sunroof, added the slide in camper certificate, added rapid supplemental heat and did not add engine heater. I did not reorder the H.O. Engine as I planned. There really isn’t that noticeable of a difference from driving one. I’m sure some love it and I would too, but is it really worth 2500? I’m still on the fence on that. I also changed paint from the Oxford bright white to the Metallic Star white. I deleted the $780 retractable bed step. I’ve seen one on a truck and I’m not a fan. The last change I made was a carpet delete with the all weather mats. I’m a job #1 order with a priority code of 3. Hopefully this will be picked up if these guys get back to work.

Lol so the goal posts keep moving. So now add to the list find your dealer and only wait nine months for a KR ultimate. Seeing that there is no KRU in 2023 I’m taking you ordered your truck before this? Can your dealer source 19.5” wheels since Ford cannot? Unless they go back to those wonky 17” wheels like 2011 450s will be vaporware. Don’t you think leadership should plan for this since they have already jacked things up for the prior year with sourcing from vendors What’s the definition of insanity again? I don’t think you understand, I own a ‘23 450 KR that I located on the other side of the country. I’m not upset that I don’t have one as it’s parked in my barn. But Ford being run by a cabal of nincompoops is something I do not want. I’ve never not owned a Ford in my life. In fact this is my 8th Super Duty and my 5th King Ranch. The brand is being ruined by this knuckleheads incompetence and that is not something I desire.

How many are 450s? Not many. It’s embarrassingly obvious that Farley couldn’t find his way out of a corner. So don’t order a KR, now don’t order a 450… when does it stop?

So which one are you?

Well, I just got the Ford “we are completely incompetent and we have no clue what we are doing” email on my 24 450 KR order. not surprised ? it’s truly laughable now. Anyone carrying Ford’s water these days is blind or a fool.

How about getting someone who can ensure that high end super duty’s are built? waiting three years for a truck truly demonstrates the absolute incompetence of the C suite at Ford.

I ordered a 24 KR but it doesn’t have a build date. Just typical ford doing ford stuff. Imagine that I’m glad I scored my 23 F450 KR that I had to drive 3/4 of the way across the country to get.
