10/11 Build Week

[additionsola]

Got a text from my dealer that my truck is in town! Nothing on Palsapp yet so I'm guessing it's still on the train waiting to be unloaded. I think it could be anywhere from tomorrow to next weekend... Apparently, my local yard has several dozen vehicles waiting to be conveyed. So it really maybe a week before it gets to the dealership...

I drove by the local rail yard today on my way to work, it was amazing how many vehicles were there, even only being able to see a fraction of them through the fence. O bugged my dealer again today, still just trying to get a date! No response yet.

Well update! I was told it will be there Saturday!

What is the average wait now? My salesman said 4-5 months, maybe less cause I don't have all the computerized stuff. Friend of mine who's wife worked for Ford in Windsor said even with employee connections it was 3.5 months.

I ordered June 08. +\- 10 days of being 5 months from order date.

@Bbass5 - I’m supposed to be delivered between 11/5 and 11/12. Spoke to dealer again today. Got shoulder shrugs over the phone regarding any better intel on delivery date.

I’m not sure we are going to get this thread to 1,700 posts like the 08/02 Build thread, but here’s one more to get us to 348 posts . . .

Something like that needs to be reported to the NHSTA in case it's happening to others. Could get someone killed. Glad you were able to correct it in time.

Agreed!

Uff. Glad no accidents because of it. Scary.

Thank you all, and yes, glad no accidents, or anything truly serious. I have been in contact with Ford CRC, and they're contacting the dealer. They asked what I was looking for from them, as in help, or assistance. Told them I just want a truck that works, is safe, and with going into park 4 times, doesn't have a messed up tranny. Depending on how long it is in the shop, I might ask them to make my first payment, or similar.

But, I do have a loaner, a '21 XLT, so not all bad in the world.

The only thing I can figure is that it's a malfunction of the new safety (ha irony) feature that automatically puts the car in park if there is no pedal input and the driver door opens. But you'd have to think the system would factor in the speedometer information before acting. Very bizarre and very scary.

A little more good news today it looks like. Dispatched from the rail yard this morning. Going to sign paperwork tomorrow regardless, but possibly the truck will be there.

And now it's delivered! Hoping they can have it ready for pickup tomorrow! I'll post pics.

Arrived at dealer on Thursday, went over after work yesterday and picked it up. They were pretty busy, so had to wait around a bit to sign the paperwork, but it was worth it!

Picked it up this morning.

Ordered: 7/15 and had vin a week later
Blend: 10/13
Built: 10/16
Shipped: 10/18
Delivered: 10/29
Picked up: 10/30

I can confirm: I received 1000 rebate plus 0 percent for 72 months.

When I ordered the salesman forgot to add the tow mirrors and I didn't catch it when I checked the order until a few weeks later. He ordered the mirrors in the parts department and they installed them yesterday before I took delivery today. At no charge.

Great dealer experience at Weelborg Ford in Redwood Falls MN with Erik. Highly recommend them.

Put the truck right to work and got it a little dirty on gravel roads towing a light utility trailer. More tomorrow with fetching our golf cart from our seasonal camp site. Loving the truck and the powerstroke.

Update- finally got new info on palsapp! Appears it must be on the final stretch to the dealer I'm hoping

I was advised 4-6 Mo when I ordered in July and that appears to be holding true. My truck entered production yesterday with a biuld date of 11/3 its looking like 4 1/2 months but unfortunately there are trucks all over the map i've seen 3 months all the way up to 9 mo and counting.
