If so have you gotten any information about your build date? I’ve been # 1 and priority 2 on the waiting list for a couple months now, king ranch ultimate took off fifth wheel prep and spray in bed liner and front and rear wheel well liners in February and still nothing. I was told that they “Keller ford” didn’t get in any super duties last month and nothing is scheduled for June or July yet. Allocation issue? Hell the salesman manager says he’s never heard of the multi contour seats issue and I just talked to him on Friday. I most likely won’t be buying anymore vehicles from them. ?♂️ Sure seems our stories match in many ways but I ordered same truck through small dealer in southwest Louisiana. Took off same items and my dealer’s sales manager is telling me they have not heard about issues with MC seats. Have been priority 2 and first in dealers line since early April. ???

No-Communication548 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Is there some issue with shipping going on at the moment? The truck I ordered was built 3 weeks ago but the tracker still shows that it hasn't shipped yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlp450 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 This past Friday I completed all the paperwork to finalize the purchase of my new F350 and I was taken aback by a policy ( I guess I can call it that) that is in place when you remove items from your order (AS, 5WP). I ordered a F350 Lariat Ultimate package LED's and a dually, my order also included AS and 5WP, my agreed upon sales price was $77,100. After my order, at the recommendation of the GM at my dealer, I dropped AS ($910) and 5WP ($455) from my order. When I went in to finalize my purchase, my salesman brought out the contract and I see the sales price is still $77,100. I then ask him, "shouldn't the sales price be less as I dropped AS and 5WP from my order but I see that I am still getting charged for it?" The sales manager calls the Ford rep and I am giving a $127.00 discount from Ford. I asked the sales manager that my sales price includes $1,365 for options that I didn't get and Ford is only giving me $127.00 credit? He laughed and said that is Ford's doing not his. I said, so basically, Ford is still charging me $1,238 for nothing. So if my original order had not included AS and 5WP, my truck would have cost $1,365 less, but because I ordered those options and Ford, at the time, couldn't produce it that way so I remove those items from my order. Yet Ford still makes money on those items even though they provide nothing to the customer. What a racket these automakers have going on. BTW, I had to purchase the 5WP kit for 720.00 and pay to have it installed for 500.00 even though there is a line item in my invoice for the factory 5WP kit that I am still paying for.

Sounds like a dealer issue to me. Prob not honoring price protection and charging you the price level for when you made changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Wild Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Every time I hear, "Ford is doing this." or "That's what we've been dealing with from Ford lately." I call BS. I've heard the same crap from my dealer. The dealer is screwing you. One thing I've also heard is that some dealers have changed the way commission works. Since the volume of sales is lower, some dealers are now paying commission on the gross sale. If true, it would "make sense" as to why they want to sell it at a higher price so the dealer and sales person gets more $$$. I think the change is ok, but if you have an agreed upon price don't throw Ford under the bus so you can lie your way to a few more bucks.

Ford does extensive market research and depending on the how long it takes for the commodity and supply chain issues to improve, Ford will adjust, reduce or eliminate any incentives that are deemed necessary to meet production and/or profit objectives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is great info Ice…….but why is it always a lariat trim level. Is that all ford can build now a days. F450 on order since January and I don’t have half the options this truck has.

With prices as they are nowadays and the features that many Super Duty customers require, it's often a better deal to spend a little more to upgrade to a Lariat trim and take advantage of the additional features. The F-450's have always had a longer OTD (Order to Delivery) timeframe compared to the F-350's and made worse the past year due to commodity, plant and supplier constraints specific to the F-450's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you heard what the part constraints are on the F450? I have a platinum on order but I did not get a moon roof or adaptive steering or bedliner.

River Wild Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 According to the Long McArthur pod cast last week, There are not a lot of constraints on Lariats. What were supposedly issues, I have none of them on mine (6.7, 6.2, Moon roof). I'm thinking if I don't get picked for scheduling in the next couple of weeks, it's a dealer thing.

If the deadline was missed, the Dealer should have immediately contacted their Ford Zone Manager for assistance. There's no excuse for the Dealer not getting the order COVP verified long ago. Yeah I’ve talked to everyone but the owner at this point and all I get is we don’t know. Hopefully it’ll get built. Claiming the covp program didn’t exist when I ordered. Which unknown is bs.

Ford_EFC09208_Ford Customer Order Verification for Priority Scheduling_Redacted.pdf I understand that Ford feels the dealers should be doing all the things discussed but fact is that many are not and it is mind boggling to think the answer from Ford is “ talk to your dealer”. I have personally talked to sales manager and both owners on many occasions since placing my order in Nov. There should be other methods to get attention placed on these old orders like having zone manager or other Ford employee review them and determining that all is in place or that there is some other issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
