I was told August when I ordered mine in Feb. Now it is Dec, and no truck. At least the carpet can be covered with a weathertec mat. Enjoy the new ride.
Update. Yesterday. Ford again pushed back my delivery date. Now Dec. 21-27. Of which 4 or more days are the Christmas holiday. So a 2023 delivery is looking more likely..
I only stated that knowing the dealer, I know they are not making things up about delivery. My truck was delayed till end of November, and now till Dec 3. Hopefully 2022, not 23. With the number of completed units waiting for delivery, it will be months or more before the deliveries can catch up. Ford won’t give a realistic delivery date, just the excuse of date being an estimate. Problem is, estimates have some basis in fact and reality. Ford delivery estimates have neither. The statement in email I receive say they are delaying delivery to ENHANCE my experience. It is only strengthening my resolve to buy GM next time.
My 350 was built Aug 27. Got a Sept 7 delivery date. Then went on hold for a month due to chips I don’t need. Chip for diesel exhaust, but I have gas engine. Chip for fancy seats, but those seats are not even available in my trim level, and I have a bench seet ordered. Then started getting delivery dates. Then dates delayed. Sept, Oct, now halfway through second Nov delivery period, and truck is still in Louisville. And I know the dealer, and two family members work there. They get nothing more from Ford than I do. I don’t understand how a company can produce product and then not deliver to buyers. Ford has morphed into a third world company.
My dealer told me it WAS open for only three days, and slammed closed. They only got in orders for 6 trucks, all sold. Ford has a bunch of nerve taking orders for ’23s. They can’t get my ’22. Been ordered since February, have been given delivery dates, only to find out the CHIP HOLD is on my truck, yet they have the gall to send me delivery dates. Maybe GM next truck. Ford definitely doesn’t care about their customers. My truck is waiting for diesel exhaust chip, yet I have a gas engine. It is waiting for multi countour seat chip, but I have a front bench seat, and the fancy seats are not available in lariat trim level to start. And I get different answers from the help line, the chat line, and my dealer.
