The sales manager is handling our order, and he can't even bother to call us during this whole ordeal to let us know what's going on. Glad you have an honest dealer. Why would you allow them to do that? You should have found another dealer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed commodity restrained items, Fifth wheel, Bedliner on 1/12. Email received this past Saturday others look to have gotten showing a delay w/ no ETA for scheduling. At least you got a second email, lol. I didn't get the delay email at all. I called Ford juuuuuust to see what they showed for my order and the lady at Customer Service said it was "in processing", whatever that means haha.

You might as well hand them a blank check by not having a signed sales agreement with all the terms of the transaction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2013 F-350 SRW was delivered in about 12 weeks & the 2016 F-350 DRW was delivered in about 10 weeks to Metro Vancouver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to submitting an order, the dealer wouldn't discuss price? OMG, I would have been straight out the door looking for the next dealer. Why did you order from them. I have a signed document showing to the penny, how much I owe the dealer after the truck arrives, with the price including all taxes & fees. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting to be scheduled. It would at least be nice to have a vin so I could check the tracker instead of feeling like I am in limbo. I'm now sitting at 28 weeks waiting for a Lariat Tremor. Still no VIN. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea if the dealer (Capital Ford in Charlotte) has the allocation, or even if this matters on retail customer orders. In any event, I am pretty frustrated with the situation. I asked my dealer if certain options could be slowing the process and he said that he was aware of any. Ford email: Thanks again for placing your 2022 Super Duty F-250 Lariat order. While we’ve been busy working to get your new vehicle into production, we’ve run into a few delays. Sometimes certain features or options can lengthen the time before a vehicle is scheduled for production. We know there’s a lot of anticipation when it comes to getting into a new vehicle, so we’ll make sure to keep you updated. Once your vehicle is ready to move into the production schedule, you’ll be hearing from us again. My build: F-250 Lariat crew Cab 6 3/4'’ bed Bucket seats/console camper package front and rear wheel well liners spray in bed liner 4.3 axle ratio 7.3 gas engine Carbonized Grey color Black Onyx interior color 4x4 bed step Supposedly that email went out to all ford customers with outstanding orders. So I don’t think there is much significance. Not much help, but maybe it’s them trying to communicate on some level which I think is a step in the right direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did as much research as I could before ordering but like everything, if hindsight was 2020 ya know. We've never ordered a new vehicle before, so we'll have to wait and see. Of course, I already have a letter typed out to send the both Ford customer service and the dealership owner should the need arise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk23 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Is it safe to say that scheduling notice wasn’t just for New York area orders? Did anyone get scheduled today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teecamp Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 2 hours ago, PineNut said: I ordered Jan 19th. Don't take the 'sorry it's taking so long' email personally, thousands of us received the same email. The spray in bed liner is a well known hold up that your dealer should be well aware of. Once the truck comes off the line it goes to GFX for installation of the bed liner and wheel well liners. Deleting those options would eliminate the trip to GFX and may increase your odds of being scheduled sooner. A lot of people have chosen to delete those from thier builds as they are easily done after delivery. Hang in there, our turn will come! So, this has been on my mind a little bit lately. I have the wheel well liners, all weather floor mats, cab lights, and I think the block heater as my only add ons for my Platinum. I removed 5th wheel prep, spray in bedliner, and adaptive steering. Would removing any of these help my chances of getting through the hoop faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, with what you know now, I would be cancelling the order and finding a reputable dealer. Yes, you have already waited 5-months, but once the truck is delivered you have no guarantee the dealer will be reasonable on pricing. Once delivered, they hold all the cards. Good luck on getting a new truck at an acceptable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they’re not wrong if that’s how they choose to do business, but that’s not how you should do it. You’ll almost certainly get hit with a $5K or $10k markup and there really isn’t anything Ford can do about that because you never agreed on a price. If they were going to sell it to you at MSRP then they would have told you that up front. It’s sleazy but not illegal. Live and learn. You can wait it out and hope for the best or find a better dealer that will give you the price in writing and start over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far today I’ve only checked 4 or 5 times. No changes to the Tracker Site (still no date shown under Production Status) and no BCE codes either. Ordered on 10/26. Been fairly calm about things until the status changed to Production last week, and I started seeing movement from others scheduled for this week as well. C’mon truck!!!

Oldchevyguy Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I checked with my dealer today. My order has a status of unscheduled/clean. Does this mean that there are no restrictions on my order? Or does it mean that there have been no attempts to schedule it yet? I am just trying to figure out if it is good news that it is "clean" or does that really mean anything.

Your order is in the 'pool' with all the other orders to get scheduled when the order priority and parts availability permit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishoppl Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Has anyone seen any 350 Limiteds being built? Ordered 11/2 and was just pushed back again last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
