theoldwizard Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 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 "Build time" is usually kept pretty "close to the vest". It is a correlates directly with the profitability of a factory. A few industrial magazine would publish estimated build times. One very interesting question is what is the difference in build time from a steel 2014 F150 to an aluminum F150. They had better be similar or Ford will never be able to make the profit they had in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosehead Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I read an article on the new F-150 that said there are significantly more panels on the new version to help keep replacement costs down upon repair. I can't imagine with more body parts it would take the same time to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosehead Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Etis shows it was built on the 25th. How long do they normally take to ship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmilicia Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I think shipping really depends on the carrier. Mine has supposedly been "in-transit" for about a week and my dealer is only a couple hundred miles from the factory. Mine was built 11/17. I think my shipping got slowed down by the holiday.

moosehead Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I am close too, in AL. How did you find out yours was "in transit"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dclynch Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I ordered my super duty 11-12-14 and was notified this week 12-1-14 that the dealer has gotten a VIN number. does anyone know how long it take after the VIN is issued? They told me when I ordered it that it would be 4 to 6 weeks. It has been 3 and the waiting is killing me. First time I ordered everything I wanted instead of getting what they had on the lot also my first new F-250 . Currently have a 2010 F150 max tow super crew. It has been a good truck I just tow too much heavy stuff and need the superduty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosehead Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 It took a week for mine to be built once I got the VIN. It took a week once it was built to be shipped. I am still waiting on it to arrive. I ordered the truck on the 3rd of Oct. From everything I've seen 10-12 weeks from order to delivery is the standard quo.

dclynch Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Its looking like you are correct was notified today it will be built 1-5-15 because there is a shortage of 6.2 motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosehead Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 My dealer said the truck is now off of the train and on a truck. Could be today, tomorrow or Thursday. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
