More I read all of the post the more sick to my stomach I get. My dealer required 2000$ deposit or no order.........Get a fortune for a trade in but oh.....6 month wait for a new one lol
Sweet Jesus. Only thing I was told was that the dealers that move a lot of vehicles are getting orders being processed sooner. Is your dealer a large mover of F150s?
My order went it on the 18th. That was the earliest my dealer could order (smaller dealer) Priority 12 since day one
I haven't seen a single retail order get a Vin# yet. And I've checked A LOT of them
You put down $2K to order a Tremor?
This is crazy news. Well I deal with a Ford dealer called Nortstar Ford, they moved a lot of F150s-F350s and hoping the news I'm hearing about getting orders sooner is true.My order went it on the 18th. That was the earliest my dealer could order (smaller dealer) Priority 12 since day one

I hope they're giving you a hell of a deal on it
Have you been living under a rock ?
Well last time I checked I wasn't lol
when it comes to the pickup scene for the new shit yes lol
There's been a world wide semiconductor shortage. It's not "crazy news" that vehicles are taking longer than usual.Well last time I checked I wasn't lol
I'm aware of that part but a lot of people in my area are seeing 2 to 3 months for a factory order. That being said what they have ordered was Lariats. Which is why I was asking about these Tremors, cant see them seeing like hot cakes like a FX4 or whatnot.
Mine is actually a Raptor. I signed off on everything on 7/9. On another forum, there is a lot more movement with the Raptors than what everybody is seeing here with the Tremors.
Prolly would have considered a Raptor but they want 7% interest here for those thing lol no thanks lol
FX4 isn't a trim level, it's a package that you can get on EVERYTHING BUT Tremor and Raptor.. So of course you won't see as many Tremors as "FX4". You'll be surprised how many Tremors you will see. Way more than you think. It has a much better payload and towing than the Raptor. And stealerships aren't going to bend dummies over on them like they do to A LOT of Raptor buyers. You can get a Tremor for A,Z,D,X Plan. Finding a dealer to go less than sticker on a Raptor is hard to find.
Well the Tremor is all new for '21. The Raptor isn't. So that's why you aren't seeing as much movement on them other than dealer stock orders. I don't think they intended on selling many of either in '21, otherwise they wouldn't have waited until June to open up the ordering on them.
Yea as I was expecting I guess. Sit and wait I guess is all one can do. Shitty part I guess is the 2022s are around the corner. All my dealer told me is that if I have shitty luck and it goes into Nov or later they may brand them as 2022s. At this point I just laughed and got in my truck.
I'll post this again as It seems to be the best answer we have at this point - from the inventory manager at my dealership.
sounds like there are many of markets with 20, 30, 40 incoming dealer ordered tremors, so hopefully they will get the first few hundred built in the next 2 months or so, and we will get VINs Sept/Oct. I hope I'm wrong but I'm not expecting one before then.
They should have waited until '22 to release the F150 Tremor IMO. The longer they take to get to the lots, and the closer we get to '22, I have a feeling they're going to sit. If you didn't order one, why would you buy a '21 for full MSRP , when the '22s will be available in less than 6 months? There will be deals on Tremors IMO

Another thing that makes Tremor more appealing is , price a 402a out and price out a Lariat or KR equally equipped (or a 302a XLT Sport FX4 vs 401a Tremor) . The Lariat I spec'd out was MORE than the Tremor I ordered. Yea the Lariat was rated to tow 14K# vs 10,9k for the Tremor. BUT I won't tow anywhere near either if their capabilities. On the flip side of that , the Tremor is WAY MORE off road capable than the FX4. The Tremor looks better too IMO.
