Modit2 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I signed up on Ford's website to notify me when new Super Duty pickups become available in my area. The past few weeks I've started seeing more trucks with blue window stickers. These are not stripped down XL or XLT models. They are fairly well optioned Lariats. Diesel, Lariat value package, upfitter switches, e locker, garage door remote, etc. Crossing my fingers that it's a sign things are getting better since Ford said they are prioritizing retail orders over stock orders.

Monoman Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Hmmm. ...circumstantial evidence or did Ford push out a bunch of stock orders before focusing on retail/COVP orders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972Mach1 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I have noticed that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloralIndustries Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Perhaps the dealers that are getting stock orders had additional/excess allocations that weren't filled by customer's retail orders. I believe in that case, a stock order might be picked up for production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part any available trucks on dealer website all seem to be green tags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are they not buildable, I see on this forum daily people post trucks going into production with every combination of options available, to include all of the supposedly restrained items.

There are also priority 2 orders that are 8 months old that can’t be built. Every week it could be a different part holding up production.
