Finally got a window sticker!:evilb:
My son ordered a F450 in March or April. He got a VIN and production date about 2 weeks ago, production set for late August I believe. |
Canada is no different. November 5, 2021 ordered 2 x F-250 Platinums. One came in last Thursday, the other one has a VIN assigned but not built yet. I should have waited for 2023's......

Whats stupid is these same guys that want their product on THEIR time table want us to STOCK 2 months worth of product to have on hand so if their production lines get faster they want product faster at the same time. If every company operated on this just in time way then imagine the cluster the world would be in right now! We usually forecast out for one year with our inventory especially electric motors.....when we saw time frames going from 4-6 months out to 8-12 months we doubled down and ordered more. Lucky for us MOST of our stuff got filled but the plastic industry has gone nuts too. We use Kynar plastic for some of our pumps....the EV markets has cornered that and now there is rationing for the little guys like us so they can get priority of that plastic.... :( |

How did you get that? Did you search your VIN?

I have been using the tracking site ever since I got my VIN and order number. I finally got a window sticker, after the truck was in production. Some days the tracker lets me pull my truck up and other days its doesn't. I had 6 months or so to look over my order sheets from the ford dealer and never noticed that the sun/moon roof was not on there till about a week before production. Too late to change it, so mine will be coming without and it was something I really wanted. I may just go ahead and order a 2023 when I can and get what I wanted including spray in liner and 5th wheel prep and a sunroof. I made the order on the ford website, took the order to the dealer and they had it from the ford website already but somehow the sunroof was missed, by me too. Wildman, what is your last VIN numbers, mine are 11177. We have to be close on the production line.

The dealer removed the spray in liner and bed cover a while back and said they would do it. Its farmed out anyway. I order carpet delete and extended running boards, that didn't make it either. I do not think those things are dealer issues seems FORD is screwed up.
My last VIN is 10120

I also did carpet delete with no issue and did the power running boards. Looks like our VINs are pretty close.

Truck is marked built 7-30 and has the circle on the ford tracker filled in for shipping. I have heard it can take a month to ship. Not sure how they even ship duallies, seems like aqcar hauler would be too small.

If so see duals on those all the time. |
This is what I mean by "erector set". Fold every which way, 25 hydraulic cylinders. LOL
