blwnsmoke Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 They don't build customer orders until after ok to buy is given. Ahh.. that's why mine got built on 3/24.. The dealer put it in as dealer stock so I'd get it faster. Was nice of them to do that however, I'm all set with it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford truck guy Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It is one word - - - Advertising -- - OR marketing . . . . . I believe that is why... They have our money.. no need to chase us , they want them out there as soon as possible... I am ok with it...I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they don't have your money until you sign the papers for your new truck. Ordering it does nothing as far as ensuring a truck is purchased.

That's one of the problems of having bad eyes and an I phone... makes for bad reading till I get to a BIG screen !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACKAL_SOF Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Anxiously awaiting the 6/17/14 production date for the 2015 F-450 Platinum. Just got mine ordered today, and I'm missing my 2011 F350 already. Listed my truck on eBay last week and it sold for my asking price within 2 hours of posting it up. I couldn't have been happier about the ease of the sale but I have never been without a pickup in over 25 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill148 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 How did you find your build date? I received my VIN on 07 April and the window sticker a couple days later but ereryone I talk to has no idea when it will actually be built. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blwnsmoke Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) How did you find your build date? I received my VIN on 07 April and the window sticker a couple days later but ereryone I talk to has no idea when it will actually be built. Thanks Then they are just lazy and don't want to look it up in their system. Dealers have the ability to look it up for you. Your build date is usually 7 days after your window sticker becomes available. You can also create a post with your VIN in here for tracking. Read the rules before posting in that forum so you don't get overlooked by breaking them. http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/forum/80-vehicle-locator-by-ford-employees/ Edited April 25, 2014 by blwnsmoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill148 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks blwnsmoke, not sure why it is taking so long to build after receiving my window sticker but it seems like it has not been built yet and is still in production. I ordered March 7, window sticker was generated 15 April and no notification on build. Just wondering where it's at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belize91 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) I have a King Ranch on order, only thing I don't like is the painted bumpers I had to buy, Chrome bumpers were late avalibilty (no date known) Drives me crazy, every one I know that has them hates the chips they get and rust. Question for the group, I am considering ordering chrome bumpers from the parts department, the dealer will install the front and back for 100.00 plus the cost of the bumpers. My truck is ruby red with the tan lower and they extend the color to the wheel lips. In terms of the looks of the truck will the chrome bumpers add to the looks? Most of the other super dutys the wheel lips are the color as the truck. Edited June 11, 2014 by belize91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogey353 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hi guys. Is there a way to track my F350 in transit? I have my Vin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford truck guy Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi guys. Is there a way to track my F350 in transit? I have my Vin. Yes , go yo the vehicle tracker section and READ the RULES before asking...my will need to know those ( trust me!) you will need to have a certain number of valid posts on here before being able to track your vehicle.... Good Luck.. Or you can always go to your dealer and ask them..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogey353 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Thank you. I realize I made a mistake before I knew the rules. My apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogey353 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hi Has anyone had any issues with the new 2015 SD!? I love the truck! I have mine ordered and have had a 2012 that had a few problems. Looking forward to new truck! It is being shipped as we speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford truck guy Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 So Far SO Good !! ... I only have about 1200 miles on it but so far its a PULLING MACHINE !! ... I think I may have some tire wander ?? It seams to sway a little on the highway.. I figured I would let the tires get worn in a bit before adding a stabilizer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogey353 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Adding a stabilizer to the steering is rear !? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTMsc Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I have 2200 on my F-350 SB SC 4X4 6.7 and really like the truck so far. Ordered the way I wanted it. So far the only concern is mpg. 13 around town. Just did my first highway trip and got 18 at 75 mph. Looking forward to towing the toy hauler.
