I know there are more bladders, but I thought the shape was different too since I've heard folks say something about the seat bottom being too long for them in some cases. Yeah, My new 2022 F350 King Ranch massaging seat bottom cushions hit the back of my legs and I hate it, oddly enough my 2017 Platinum F350 with massaging seats didn't hit the backs of my legs right behind my knee, I went back to dealer a few days after taking delivery to double check, sure enough my Platinum seat bottoms cleared the back of my left knee by a few inches. When driving, my most comfortable position for my left leg is knee bent and lower leg almost vertical, seat all the way back on track. My legs are long for my height, I'm only 5'-7". Either Ford changed the design of all massaging seat bottoms or the King Ranch bottoms are longer, I have not sat in a 2022 Platinum so I don't have a reference measurement. I don't even like massaging seats. T be honest, my 2017 was more pleasurable to drive, but most of the improvements, especially to the engine I like. I'm still getting used to 10 speed over six speed, I'm in 3rd gear at 15mph, takeoff performance is crappy compared to my 2017. I want my adaptive steering back, they can have the massaging seats and the new seat bottoms but the 12" screen, Sync 4, headlight designs and a few other improvements I'm happy with. I didn't like them dropping Ruby Red, hood liner and hood light. Charge more and get less, frigging penny pinching bean counters making stupid deletes. Labor and pensions from unions is where a lot of their rising expenses are from. MSRP went up $1295 twice while my truck was being built, my effective salary went down due to inflation, double whammy. Sorry for the rant...

If you’re pushed back to July 18, my vacation’s screwed. I have some summer camping trips planned too that I felt like were going to be ruined by not getting my truck. In the end I decided I wasn’t going to let Ford ruin it for me. I was able to rent a 3/4 ton pickup from Enterprise for $450/week (plus taxes). Yeah it sucks, but renting it for 2-weeks a month in June and July to get me through the summer is still less than the truck payments will be haha. I’m hoping to have my truck by the July vacations since I’m finally in production but who knows. Edited May 21, 2022 by manko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOU-TX-TREMOR Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Well, it was bound to happen, the dreaded production date adjustment email. 14 Feb - ordered 16 Feb - confirmed 12 May - scheduled 27 June 20 May - pushed to 18 July On the bright side, guess that gives me time to return from international business travel.

Sceve Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 5 hours ago, Monoman said: Not all supply chain issues are semi-conductor related. The three main items causing SD delays are Fifth wheel prep, Spray in bed-liner, and Adaptive Steering. The first two definitely do not have semi-conductor chips and for the last one we assume it is caused by chips but we don't really know. I think many (maybe most) of the supply chain issues are labor related. Look at the delays we are seeing with just getting the built trucks to the dealerships because the trucks sit waiting to be picked up by transporters. The same thing is happening with the parts and materials going from point A to point B which is often from overseas to the US. The bedliner and 5th wheel are kind of labor related, but more due to the way trucks are being ordered now versus how they were in the past. Before all of these retail orders, dealers would have bedliners and 5th wheel kits installed locally instead of ordering them already equipped because it was quicker/cheaper to get them that way. Now that everything is being custom ordered, people are ordering the trucks with bedliners and 5th wheel, which means they have to get put on before they are shipped out. The facilities that previously had enough throughput to complete all of the bedliners and 5th wheel kits for all of the stock orders now do not have enough throughput for the sheer number that are being ordered. The physical facilities are not built to handle the number of trucks being ordered with those options. They could hire more people, but there's no room for extra people with the current facilities.

elltee Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 This is from a Facebook page dealing with this topic. Supposedly somebody from Ford contacted this guy to ask if he was still interested in his truck. If not, they would (FMC) cancel the order and bump up another order and not let the dealer take delivery of the truck. Has anybody else seen this. I'm more than a little bit skeptical that it was from FMC. Here's the FB post: "Well My production date got pushed . But this morning I get a call from Ford asking if I still want my order . I said yes 110% . The lady goes we’re calling to weed out anyone that doesn’t want there order. So hopefully you get your truck sooner . Crossing my fingers." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the massage/lumbar feature is not really itemized we will never know if the $300 is really a full refund. The MC seats are not an option, they are part of a package.

A package that cost me/us $3k more for a Platinum…$300 credit is BS. Fine, you didn’t want the seats or spend the extra money, others did…give it a rest, people are rightfully pissed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct and like i stated, the seats are not itemized so we have no idea if $300 accurately reflects their portion of the package price.

That is a fine looking truck. I ordered my Bronco Sport 10/28/21. I'm still waiting on that to be delivered but expect it next week or the week after. The 250 I ordered 3/5/22 had the Activate button show this afternoon and I got the build notification a few hours later. Slated for delivery 5/16 or so. Tracker still shows its in production. I never would've believed the truck would have had the shorter lead time but I guess we're in a place where nothing is making sense anymore. I thought I'd get the truck in August/September or that it would get pushed to a 23MY. Either way, I'll take it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jneff Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Been a silent observer in here since i ordered my f350 KRU LB 1/26. Dealer wasn't proactive, but thanks to these threads, I was well informed. After confirming that the fancy seats are being pulled, I decided to bail last night. I did a quick national search last night, and couldn't believe it, I found the near exact spec'd truck that I ordered in another state, down to the color...closed the online paperwork today and flying out to get Friday. Kind-of crazy, went from wondering if I really wanted to wait months for the 1/2 spec'd truck I wanted to knowing I'm getting nearly exactly what I wanted. I did lose x-plan, but this dealer is near MSRP...given the direction of rates and possible depreciation of my current vehicle, seems worth to me. Next step is to get the 1st dealer to cancel order...officially with Ford. Again, saw how to do that on this thread...probably more of a gesture, but maybe it can free up some commodities for all of you that have been waiting longer than me. King Ranch Ultimate, 6.7, snow prep, 397 alt. Adaptive cruise, heated rear seats, clearance lights. Rapid red.

tjm73 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Enough with the whining about the seats already. No amount of complaining is going to change what Ford has decided to do. The choices are accept it or cancel your order. Make your choice. Move on with your life. Stop acting like angry children. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Car Gurus and others allow new car searches nationally, I tried it on Car Gurus, there are quite a few trucks available but only way I was able to see the WS was go to that dealer's website, then I found them to be custom orders. Likely not even available. Edited May 22, 2022 by 787Toolman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
