NH_Bulldog Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 58 minutes ago, King ranch 62 said: You know there are people out here buying a particular truck for the massage aspect of the seat do to severe leg or back pain right? For you to make a broad statement like that show’s your lack of compassion and understanding. So if you don’t like someone’s post don’t read it. Thank you ? The point is that the parts are not available, and no amount of complaining is going to magically fix that (it isn’t due to a microchip shortage). The seat issue affects all models that the seat was available in, and none are getting made with those seats. I wanted features in my truck that were not available, or became unavailable at some point in the process. I didn’t whine about it, I found solutions, and I am satisfied. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little confusing!!!! Same here. I keep waiting for my dealer to call, as today is supposed to be the deadline, but I haven't heard anything. Ordered F250 Platinum CCLB March 14th with confirmation from Ford on March 16. The dealer flat out told me 8 to 12 months so I know I have a long way to go. But I love seeing all you post that you got yours. I'm still in it for the long haul, I'll see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee2021 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 How fast does the email show up saying “your truck is at the dealer and in final preparation” from when the truck actually arrived at the dealer? My truck is unloaded from the rail car and waiting on the 3 mile trip to the dealer. My dealer is pretty lazy on communications up to now. I’m hoping that the Ford email on delivery is very timely, so I know when it gets there. 11/1 order, BAP, 350 lariat, 5th prep, and a bunch of other items.

I here it is control modules. I myself would be ok with paying some of the cost to do it. I would really like to be able to drive without pain. Or at least less pain Especially long trips. That’s why I ordered the particular truck I did. I'm sure Ford considered many options before making the decision to remove them from the builds and issue credits. We may not like their decision but it is theirs to make. At least there are aftermarket seat massagers you can buy. i would not be surprised if the massagers are dropped for MY23. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Hood Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 There are used low mile Platinum's for sale if you really want the seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never did receive anything from Ford, but my Sales Manager called me as soon as it was off the transporter. You are paying the dealer, make them communicate and provide you with information. If necessary, call them daily or better. Why depend on Ford, when the dealer is the one paid to keep you informed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. That's great go around and criticize people for venting there displeasure about not getting the massage seats they paid for. Maybe there is a reason they need/want massage seats. As for me I deal with severe lower back/leg pain, the massage helps tremendously with my discomfort while driving especially long distances. Massage seats are the main thing I wanted.

rxwoody Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Ordered and confirmed on 12/9/21. F350 Platinum Tremor 7.3 antimatter blue with 5th wheel prep, Spray in bed liner, console vault, upfitter switches, all weather floor mats, moonroof and power running boards. Priority 2 for several months now. Dealer showed me VVR yesterday and still unscheduled clean. Really needed superduty for camping season this year so when I saw this 21 that came in the day before on trade I made it mine. 21 F-250 Lariat Ultimate Tremor 7.3 with BAP, carpet delete which I must say is pretty awesome. Moonroof, UTT and a slew of other options. I figure this way I will have something for the summer or into next year should I not get scheduled or have to wait for a 23. But now that I have it I will probably get scheduled next week lol. Really digging the way this truck looks though. Also hoping I can sleep better knowing I have something and feel that I don’t need to spend every waking moment on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elltee Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 From FMC’s CEO concerning chips: “The other thing we must do is secure contracts with our supplier or suppliers, where possible, in commodities we know will be constrained like semiconductors,” Farley said. “In the case of semiconductors, that will require both mature node semiconductors or feature-rich semiconductors like window regulators, as well as the advanced nodes that run our connectivity electronic components, as well as infotainment. These will be very important, and you’ve seen announcements like GlobalFoundries, there’ll be more of those, and we’ll have to do it on the raw material and the battery side as well.” The Ford CEO is referring to a strategic alliance the automaker formed with GlobalFoundries Inc. – a global leader in semiconductor manufacturing – last November, which aims to boost chip supplies by advancing semiconductor technology development and manufacturing in the U.S. In addition, Ford of Europe recently joined two new supply chain initiatives while the automaker is also considering getting into vertical integration in regards to the raw materials used in the construction of EV batteries.

Nolahd27 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Finally after almost 8 mths - received email that truck has shipped. Based on what I've seen over the last few mths this has been an issue with trucks just sitting at different locations. Currently Ford saying it should be received at the dealer the last week of June. How do I know which train the truck is on and where can I check on the progress - coming to Buffalo NY. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Wild Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Anyway... with all of trucks that have been picked up in the lower levels I thought maybe I'd see some movement but no joy. Oh well it will happen or it won't and at this point with half of July not being productive, it'll be another month or more before they might start scheduling for August.

I thought id see movement on my 350 xl supercab no extras just 7.3 upfitters and brake controller after 5 months nothing. Im just figuring at this point odds are with so many ahead of me probably not seeing it this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really feels like you’ve slipped through the cracks. What would you buy instead of an F450 though? I was in a similar position looking at the competition, but I circled back to the F450 because it’s the biggest baddest pickup truck money can buy. That and the wide track front axle is impossible to give up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2019 F450 with pretty low kms. If I couldn’t get a new 450 I’d just keep it. My family all drive Rams, and they give me a hard time about my Ford, but I feel the same way as you, I just don’t like em much despite the nice interiors. anyway, it’s a shame you’re not in my neighbourhood because my dealer has been really fantastic to work with. Although it took me a while to find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you Brother, ?? I'm over 7 months since order placed and just like you, my Dealer never told me about the seat delete as well. Checked with Ford Marketing (800) 334-4375 and they are also clueless on information regarding the Multi-Contour seat delete. Ford Marketing also said that I'm still at "Unscheduled Clean" as of yesterday Wednesday May 25, 2022. NO PCO on file as well. Since I have not heard a peep from my Dealer about the seat delete, I'm seriously considering cancelling my Order and waiting for the 2023 MY. No Sense Ordering a Platinum and settling for less, along with waiting over 7 months and still not scheduled. By the time the truck gets scheduled, it will be close to 9 months or longer before I see it....... by then, maybe the 2023 MY Order Bank will be open?

Cglenn Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Is there anyway to get a detailed history of your build that would at least outline any QC issues or the likes? I was told by Ford marketing that my build started on 4/11 but wasn’t completed until 4/13 maybe because it had to go to gfx or maybe QC issues? @ice-capades Edited May 26, 2022 by Cglenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
