HARMANBG Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Just curious if anyone knows the average build time of a F250 Super-Duty. Just the time spent in production in the factory not counting delivery time. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmonty Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Just picked up mine on 2-19-11. Ordered on 12-20-10, was scheduled for production on 2-11-11. Was shipped on 2-14-11. Arrived at the dealership in Sterling Heights MI on 2-16-11. I got a 2011 f-250 crew cab, 6.2 gas, 4x4 short bed. Hope this helps, also mine was built in Kentucky.

Live4therut Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I just ordered my truck on 2/14 and the dealer said should take 8 weeks total. Most of what I see on the forum is that once it hits production, it is only a day or 2 before it is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenwave_71 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 my original order was placed on 4 feb and it was supposed to come in on 4 apr but my dealer ordered the truck wrong and i caught the mess up when i got the window sticker so reordered the correct truck on 19 march so lets see how long it takes this time.

strokinbeast Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I placed my order on March 7 and it was built on March 24. But with the crisis in Japan I look for the build times to increase drasticly over the next few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenwave_71 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 i heard that ford is cutting back drastically on what they are painting black and red because of how the chemical that gives it the sparkle was made solely in a factory that was destroyed in northern japan. but it sounded like all other colors arent going to be affected as of right now.

wgunkel Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I was told that build takes about 10 hours BUT then shipping can take awhile (assuming no weather issues which can cause majior delays). My F350 SD is supposed to be built 5/5. Once its done (I do not have window sticker yet so date is not confirmed) VIN 1FT8W3DT3FEA45839. Once built then have to wait for shipping that heading to your dealership area. Bigger the dealership sooner item would get shipped IF I thorugh my wife would not change the locks on the house I would fly out to kentucky and drive the truck back my self I have owned 5 ford trucks but this will be first time I got everthing I wanted insted of picking what dealership had to offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your window sticker should be up today or tomorrow if it is being built on 5/5. Make sure it is not the week of 5/5. From what I've seen, Ford schedules it to the week until it gets close and then schedules the weeks worth of trucks to the day. So most dates are given the week at first and then the day as it approaches. Whenever they give it the week, they state it for that Monday. My guess is since your window sticker isn't available yet, it's the week of 5/5. Trucks will ship once they have a full truck worth to bring to the area.

Ford truck guy Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 There is a tracking section in this forum where you ask that question... But it is not working again till I think the 14th of July due to shut downs....check out the section , read the rules- ( you will be quizzed :-). ) and ask away!!!

Storm95 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 The plant start processing my order on June 17th, I received my truck on July 10th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 316 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 :happy feet: My dealer placed my order on 6-18 for my new F-350 King Ranch Powerstroke 4X4 and the build date is supposed to be today 7-23! I received my vin # about three weeks ago and received my window sticker last week. So that is about a month. Dealer said that he may have the truck by the end of next week. I am getting excited, want to start adding my extras, Leer top, bed rug, chrome door and tail gate handles, rear sway bar, X-Pel paint protection, WeatherTech floor liners, painted mud guards, chrome hood guard, just to get started.

Justinw Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 One of the factory tour videos I've seen on Youtube said that a superduty takes about 24 hours to complete from stamping of the parts to driving out of the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosehead Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Still waiting on my VIN. There is potentially good news about it taking a while though; I wanted to add the rear sliding window. The dealer added it but won't know if it's accepted until Tuesday. Here's hoping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosehead Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Got my VIN/ Window Sticker today. The rear widow was added!!! Build date is the 30th. Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The rear widow was added!!! Good news. It would be a tad cold (and wet) without one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
