Interesting, @TN Rotty when I went to the dealership (and sorry it was 10/14 as seen in the top left of the image and not 10/16) we sat down on their computer and built this truck. It shows as being a 2021. A week later 10/22 I called them to ask for an update and they said that it couldn't go through and I'd have to be changed to a 2022 which they did and then it got confirmed by FMC via email shortly after. I told them I wanted to lock in at the 0% 72 and they said that incentive was only available for the 2021. I was pretty heated. I also wasn't even told about the MY conversion of $3500 nor the other 1k. I'm thinking I need to renegotiate when the truck arrives? Should I inquire about the smart Vincent report? At the time it seemed like some weird bait and switch. I think @Atlee was in a similar position.

First - no worries on the date. I remember 9/31 as the last day to order a 2021 so 10/14 or 10/16 is same - past 9/31. (Someone please correct me if that was wrong.) My following statements are rooted in that being a fact...

So what I see from your print is the regular 2021 build and price, which anyone can run today and get a print out, but you can't buy that model truck on that print out. The dealer should have known that on 10/14 when you came it. They may have been trying to "get A 2021 in at the last minute" (2 weeks after the cut off) thinking it was no big deal, or they could have just spaced on the Model Year change out (for 2 weeks).

It's possible that the 0/72 was available on 10/14 for your zip code. But it was an early October (1st/2nd) campaign to order or take delivery, from what I remember. I'm not sure it would have gone to 10/14.

The conversion of 3500 would not apply if the MY 21 truck was not initially ordered, which it wasn't and couldn't have been.

If it were me,

I'd be unhappy with missing the MY 21 to 22 conversion that I thought I was getting and not be told by the dealer that it was unavailable. (Assuming that I initially told the dealer I was ordering specifically for that and they said I could get it.) I would share that with the dealer (not necessarily jump on them).​

I'd want to work with the dealer to see their smart Vincent system and see what offers I can get now. Others have done the same (even if it's "I can't let you look, but you can sit on my side of the desk as I run through the system.")​

​

I hope this helps. I'm not sure you're in a strong position to negotiate & working with the dealer may be the best option. If you are not getting a good price, you may want to walk and order from another dealer (and go through the wait process again.)

My biggest hang up with the whole thing is building using the 2021 build and price and then not calling you (the next day) to say -"Hey we can't order this as a 2021. What do you want to do?", And then working with you on the incentives available then.

If someone else sees different, please chime in.

Hopefully I’ll be able to go down tonight and get it. Just waiting on the pre-delivery inspection

Is that the correct headlight for a 502A?

You about gave me a heart attack. You are right I had a brain fart I actually got the 501a the mid package not the high. Thanks for noticing that. I got it updated in my signature. Hopefully the headlights fit the 501a package. I haven’t had a chance to see it in person yet. Hopefully it’ll get inspected tomorrow.

Love the truck but I'm pretty sure I will never figure out how to work all the bells and whistles...

Truck was dropped off today. One issue is that you have to close the back doors pretty hard to shut because the rubber seal seems to be loose... not really sure... Any other deliveries have this issue?

 

[Resurfaced]

I didn’t get any sleep last night, work was a total ass kicker today… but we did it boys. I’ll try to post some more pics tomorrow and answer whatever questions I can. It’s been a long day though, gonna get some sleep.

I currently have a MY21 and my wife and I are all the time having to get out and close the doors after putting the kids in the back because we didn't shut the door hard enough. I think it's a combination of light weight from aluminum construction and the newer trucks seem to have a lot more weather stripping and seals around the doors than i remember there being on the previous generation trucks that i've owned. I don't think its a problem or a bad thing you just have to get adjusted to shutting the door a little hard than normal. Good looking truck by the way! I like the silver...I've got a MY22 Lariat on order and I almost when with the silver but I decided to go with Carbonized Gray. There's just something about a charcoal gray and chrome that looks really good to me.

Congrats! Looks great and your passenger looks ready for a trip.

I'll mark you picked up tonight.

So delivered yesterday and picked up yesterday? Congrats!

so am I to understand that it is the 150th Limited built?....Kind of cool - 150th / F150....?? (it was dark out when taking pictures)

Yep, took it home with me. I fought tooth and nail, and was several trips back and forth working the deal out, but I got my x-plan and 0/72.

Wow! - that sounds like quite a story... <pause here for story>

Nice. Yep, the 150th Limited built in MY22. That is pretty cool being 150.
Still waiting on my Limited to be delivered.

Question for you, do the temperature control knobs display the temperature? And is there ambient lighting in the cup holders? These options were removed from MY21 to MY22, but no one has reported on a Limited build yet.

 

[Resurfaced]

I have a couple pics of it being pretty, if you guys want them. Figure there's enough going around now though.
I did catch this, and emailed it to my salesman to document. I got the "it's just surface rust, they're all coming in like that...".

I haven't been able to do much with it, they are installing the dealer add-ons...they were nice enough to let me take a few pictures...but i did check and the temp display will not be on the knobs and the cup holders either....damn......
It is very sharp....good luck to get yours soon
