Chip hold My22 & My23

[Meathead]

My must haves were Powerboost, 7.2k gen (power my house during outages), Sport (color bumpers), BAP (to get rid of the red), a color (not some type of neutral but they do look nice), interior work surface, SCREW (interior space lets me have a 5.5' bed with 145" wheelbase), 4x4 with 4A, back up tow technology, 360 cam, heated and ventilated seats. My only drawback with this truck was the lack of a proper digital rearview mirror. I ordered a Lariat with all this from Granger.

I liked the full function seats of the King Ranch and Carmelo interior when I was considering but in the end I did not spring the extra money for the KR just to get those seats. Good thing too because they were deleted and I would have probably cancelled and reordered.

Even though I have waited a long time for this truck I am getting exactly what I wanted in what I hope will be final truck I buy in my life. This should get me to 75 and although I hope to live longer than that, I might be done with truck stuff by then.

One great thing I look at about waiting this long is the price protection. With all the price increases I will end up paying about $60-$61k for a truck with a MSRP of $73k. Now Ford upped the ESP years to 10 (which I wanted all along) and this was the best wait I ever had. I was not in need of a new truck fast so YMMV.

Price protection is the big thing in my book. I trade about every 3 years and my dealer keeps telling me about how I will have so much equity in the truck from the outset. Maybe, maybe not. Yesterday my accountant said he hopes my truck arrives before the end of the year. Never thought I would be still waiting for a truck 10 months after I ordered it.
As of this morning the tracker shows it still in production (3 months) and modules are still showing 966. Yesterday the dealer said I won't get updates from Ford until it actually leaves Dearborn. They also said it is scheduled to do so today. Sadly I do not believe them.

I am now looking at a universe of several 2022 and 2023 trucks to purchase. None match what I ordered and considering all the trade offs is KILLING me.

Stick to the powerboost? Eco Boost? Give up BAP? No interior work surface? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

What to do, what to do. Lariat / KR / Platinum. WHAT ARE YOUR MUST HAVES??

I’m with @Kodiak on a bunch of the same items. Powerboost, 7.2kw, BAP, 502A, 4x4. Good luck if you go looking.

seems to me the majority of trucks on lots are XLT's. for a while there were a few very expensive Raptors. and maybe a Lariat. but I havn't seen a platinum or Limited on the free markert in a long time.
now mostly lower trim trucks are all I can find. occasionally I see a special order truck ( green window sticker) that is a higher trim, but not many. guessing those were trucks people got tired of waiting for.

I am holdimg out for what I ordered. I still want the V8 and a 3.73 axle. most every truck I see has a 3.31 in it.

Well I am waiting for the call from Catelyn at Granger to go over finance. I booked my flight for December 28th as the flights were going up $50 by the minute. I probably forked over an extra $175-$200. I got $480 total for the flight. Not terrible leaving from a small airport and flying to an even smaller airport during the holiday.

Then I will have a drive home during the holiday week that many people are off for so driving may be easier. Of course that does not take into account the midwest blizzard that will undoubtedly strike but that is the gamble with anything.

I changed my vote to Delivered.

@xxxsapce please update your status on poll to delivered

 

[Blackout150]

Just so I don’t need to go through everyone if you have a status change in the poll please update. Also if you have backed out and bought another truck please just put delivered unless you are still paying attention to your old build and updating so we can see who is still waiting. Thanks

Can you add to the poll? It would be interesting to see how many actually jumped ship to a different truck

Yes. That’s a good idea

 

[Blackout150]

Just added another column on poll to those that cancelled order or bought a different truck. Thanks @Meathead

 

[Blackout150]

There is a fair amount on the poll that have jumped ship or haven’t been on the forum for over a month so there is going to be some inaccuracies. Just trying to get a real feel of the people that are left

 

[F150 hopefull]

also keep this sheet updated. The other one that I really like is no longer available. :-(

I'm still here in production. This is my happy place. Just waiting like in the dentists office. ?
