Thanks @kevdog0710 , I'll leave 3/14 to you then. I'm keeping an eye on surrounding weeks too, we are so close, I can almost smell that new car smell....
I'm 3/28, have never been bumped. Each Thursday that passes without an email from Ford feels like success.
Oh, ok, you are right, my mistake. I'm with you in 3/28. So I guess we'll both keep an eye on other weeks for our own sanity.
My wife thinks I'm nuts with how much I check the status. I tell her their are a lot of nuts just like me doing the same thing!Oh, ok, you are right, my mistake. I'm with you in 3/28. So I guess we'll both keep an eye on other weeks for our own sanity.
And yes last night I saw a few guys being bumped and I frantically refreshed my email every 5min for the same bad news message. I spoke with Ford people yesterday and they told me my build day is 3/31. When I track my build on the email Ford sent me last week Friday, it just says I will be scheduled in the next available slot.
I'm following my truck plus 5 stock orders that are coming into the same dealership. Looking for clues AND following trucks of interest. I need my truck by late May for a 2 month RV trip starting in June. If I have to take something other than my order, I need to be ready. Yes, I'm nuts, too.
I have a camper, 1st trip is Memorial Day weekend. I already sold my Tacoma because I was afraid used values will go down. I really hope to get the truck in time for that trip.
What's the number to call? I didn't think this far out from my 3.28 build week that they could give me a build day like that. Also, where are you seeing the next available slot verbiage in the email?
Like minded, we are. I sold my 2018 F150 in December. Did not need the truck through the winter and feared a potential drop in values, as well. If gas prices keep going up, used prices could start dropping very quickly. I pull a trailer and the trip is to Canada with a tour. I make final payment on the trip next week.
Your handle implies you may have a Raptor or Tremor?
Is it done pre or post build? Do you know? I guess I was thinking they do it like the F-250 and how they spray the panels separately. My dads new 2022 F-250 has small gaps between the side panels of the bed and the bottom of the bed where you can see light come through. Which leaves me to believe they were sprayed separately and not as a whole after they were assembled.
