That makes me wish had ordered the antimatter….or smoked quartz….damn if it’s too hard too decide!

I am old fashion. I went smoked quartz and 2 tone with the chrome package. Hope it gets here.

SO, got this from my dealer today. A letter saying that my truck is delayed, they are working to rectify the situation and a code for $100 Amazon Gift Card for the delay.

Well at least your dealer is doing something for you. Wish we would hear more from Ford itself.

Is this from your dealer or from corporate ford?

From Corporate Ford, via my dealer. I need to scan it and post the actual letter.

This was from Ford via the dealer.

Good to hear. It is minor but at least some acknowledgement. Hope we get the same here in Canada. Thanks.

Hello Scott,

First off, thank you for ordering an all-new 2021 F-series.

And look, we know F-Series owners understand a thing or two about accountability. Showing up for your family, for your community, for your business is one of the most important things you do.

We share that belief here in Dearborn, which makes this update all the more difficult. Unfortunately, delivery of your new 2021 F-Series is delayed.

Covid-19 supply base challenges combined with the global semiconductor chip shortage are impacting our ability to keep up with demand.

That's no excuse, but it is a reality. One we're rolling up our sleeves to tackle every day.

We want you to know how sorry we are, and that we're working day and night to fix the situation. We're looking at every option to get trucks into driveways sooner.

Rest assured that the delayed delivery of your truck isn't related solely to the date you placed your order. These delays are related to the supply problems created by the chip shortage.

We also want you to know how much we appreciate your patience and loyalty. On top of other incentives that you might qualify for, we'd like to give you a $100 Amazon Gift Card.

We are working nonstop to get your truck to you as soon as possible and we're committed to keeping you and your dealer updated on the situation. This isn't just logistics to us, it's about honoring an agreement between you and each worker on the line, at the dealership, and with the Ford Truck Team. An agreement that says every truck we build is Build Ford Tough. Simple as that.

SIncerely,

The Ford F-Series Team.

Glad to see yours is working with you. After scene my dealer made with me yesterday, they listed my 2018 F250 this morning at the 2018 MSRP with 12,300 miles.

Yeah, I just sold my 2016 for $1400 more than I paid for it new. Crazy what the used truck market has done.

So my dealer calls 5 mins ago and tells me my truck is at the dealership! I am picking up tomorrow, i Leave on a road trip the day after…..talk about cutting it close….. I am emotionally spent! At this point I don’t care what color I got! Lol

Crappy dealers need to be a thing of the past. @ScottBB apparently has the best dealer in the country though. Lol. I won't be surprised if my dealer keeps the Amazon codes for himself at this point. I'll never hear about that email, because I wouldn't be surprised if the email is only sent to dealers that are actually pressuring Ford to give their customers some answers. @scottbbyou got yourself one heck of a dealer!

Congrats, bro! Make sure you post pics! It's crazy how these trucks just show up with no change in status.
