My XLT has been on order since 10/29. Wrote Ford on 4/29 to celebrate my 6 month anniversary of no build. Was seeing trucks on dealer lots with my options, and customer orders well after mine with the same options. I am a priority 2. 6 weeks ago I had enough and went looking. Snagged a Lariat...
My dealer just received 7 F-150’s that were not as they were ordered. According to him the breakdown is when Dearborn submits the order to the factory for production.
I ordered my XLT 10/29–still no production date. I received 2k off invoice. Finally got fed up and started searching. Found a Lariat from a small dealer 150 miles from me. Got 4k off sticker. Picked it up 2 weeks ago. Glad I did.
Ford just doesn’t give a crap. I ordered an XLT on 10/29. Never received a build date-now 7 months. Gave up found a Lariat 150 miles from me. Picked it up 2 weeks ago. Wrote the top dogs at Ford a month ago, including the VP of customer satisfaction— no response. Must have gone in the round...
I agree, this is such BS on Fords part. Getting answers is impossible. I ordered an XLT on 10/29. Still no build date. Just saw on my dealers lot the EXACT truck I ordered except for color. Gave up several weeks ago, and found a Lariat with everything I ordered on a dealers lot about 150 miles...
Yea--I am really happy with this dealer. My XLT was 2k off MSRP, and I have purchased a vehicle from them in the past, these guys gave me 4k off and we did everything except the pick up over the phone. They are a small dealer and didn't know me from Adam.
Ford really sucks at this. Ordered my XLT 10/29 last week found a Lariat with all the options I ordered, plus a few extra 150 miles from me. Picked it up Monday.
I have seen some antimatter blue on dealer's lots, and had not heard of any hold up on the antimatter blue. In my opinion Ford has done a very poor job on these custom orders.
I agree with the gray. I had a antimatter blue on order since 10/29, got tired of waiting and found a Lariat with all the options I ordered 150 miles away. Love the color. Thought about it when I placed my order, but they didnt have that color on the lot. The little samples in the brochure...
I hear u you on the similar trucks. I ordered 10/29, still no build date—saw many trucks come out with my options ordered months after mine. Finally gave up, found a truck with everything I ordered plus a few additional 150 miles from me. Picked it up Monday.
Good Luck--I have been waiting since 10/29 for my XLT--saw a Lariat about 140 miles north of me that has everything I ordered on the XLT, and many other features--leave in about an hour to pick it up. They gave me 4k off the sticker--so I ended up paying about 4k more than the XLT on order.
Well so long to everyone--no my vehicle is not scheduled--ordered 10/29--XLT 302A snow plow prep co-pilot 360 assist 2.0 sliding rear window 40 con 40--still no build date--found a Lariat 140 miles from me that has everything I ordered, plus a few extra goodies including snow plow prep. Pick it...
I have been waiting on my XLT since 10/29, found a Lariat 150 miles away. If I do not get a build date tomorrow I will be putting a deposit to hold the Lariat until I can pick it up on Monday. I am tired of seeing trucks on dealer lots with what I ordered, and my order seems to be stuck in...
It is also my understanding from reading other ford information, that the dealers are very limited on the options they can order. So the odds of finding a well optioned truck are very limited.
