23 model year build week august 8

[Kodiak]

It is conceivable that the dealer ordered a '22 truck to the OP's specs but as dealer inventory...and not technically a custom customer order.

This is probably what happened. It is an already ordered 2022 and may be close to what the OP wanted. However it should be made clear that it is a 22 and not a 23. I find it hard to believe that the dealer did not know this when OP was speaking with them.

OP - With that said you will get this truck a lot sooner if you take this order than actually order a new 2023. However understand that this dealer is probably working under the old saying "it is easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission". Once the truck comes in and you go to pick it up and actually see it, they will tell you that it is a 2022 but you will be so far along that you will not care. You may be mad but you will still buy it. They will ask for forgiveness but in the end they will still sell you a truck at MSRP. That $1000 you speak of may be coming from Ford directly and no sweat off their noses.

If you decide to stay with this deal you will get a new 2022 quite quickly but pay significantly more for the luxury of quick turn around and close to home buying.

If you decide to pass on this because you want a 2023 you should look into Granger in Iowa. You will save thousands, big thousands. They work off of invoice and not sticker price MSRP. This will probably add at least 6 months before you will get it, but again you will save a lot of $$$. I ordered from them and hope to pick up my 2022 in Sept. I saved about $6600 before Ford incentives and Granger price protects from date of order. This is a huge benefit as price increases over the time from my order total about $3000+.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

My Platinum was scheduled today for the week of 9/12, it's a 2022 truck.

We are excited to let you know your 2022 F-150 PlatinumSuperCrew has been scheduled for production. Your vehicle is scheduled to be built the week of September 12, 2022.

In your next order status email, we will provide you an estimated delivery window of when your vehicle will arrive at Koons Woodbridge Ford. While you wait, check out the status of your vehicle at any time by clicking the button below.

We have included your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for your reference: 1FTFW1ED2NFC16849.

What were you promised as far as price lock and interest rate/promotion lock? I was told it would be price locked and I could select the incentive offered at time of order (look up using smart vincent) or what's available day I pick it up (my choice). I have emailed and called multiple people at Koons and no one will reply.

Price was locked with promotions and my PCO. Never talked financing as I was going to do the loan for the $1k discount, but pay it off right away, which Dexter said was not a problem.

That is how it has always been for me also. This is my 5th truck I have ordered. Lock in rebates and incentives on any day between order and delivery date. Only thing that has changed is I would get trade in value on order date. Now with super long lead times I got trade in value on date I received VIN. Luckily I have a super dealership I use they answer any and every message I have ever sent.

You are so lucky. All the dealers around the Nashville area want MSRP+. I still haven't heard from Koons. When I ordered Ford offered 0% for 60 months. It's 3.9% now. That is over a $100 per month difference on my vehicle... so it's a big deal to me.

 

[BIG_POPPY]

That does suck. Not sure why the difference. I do know I sick of waiting.

 

[Snakebitten]

If it was 0/60 the day Ford accepted the order, your dealership absolutely can get you 0/60
Ford has a word they use for capturing the incentives that were active on order date. I don't remember what the word is but any dealership worth their salt knows about it.

It's a bummer that there are areas in the country where the consumer can't find a single dealership that wants your order bad enough to compete for it?

 

[BIG_POPPY]

There are dealerships around me who are playing the game also. They call it "market adjustment" luckily none of that for me so far. Friend of mine saw a new Raptor with a $25K "market adjustment" last week.

New to the forum guys, but I put my deposit down on a MY23 f -150 platinum and was told the build that would be august 8th is that even possible considering its so close ? Also It’s from planet ford in Texas so I was told they get the trucks the quickest. And they already gave me a vin but the online ford tracker doesn’t seem to be working for me and told said it can’t process this now. Is there any truth to a august 8th build that for a 23 my

you will probably get it I ordered my platnuim 9/21 still not in production

 

[Airlifter2]

yea no, haven’t gotten any of these which is weird considering that my dealer was telling me the scheduled build date is august 8th

Sounds like your dealer isn't telling you the truth, just so he can keep your business? The part about their dealership getting trucks before others isn't true either. Each dealership has allocations and priority codes which determine the order of build and then the complex shipping process can add a few weeks or months.

Them promising you a '23 build Aug 8th is either a gross misunderstanding or you are being played with.

Sounds like you won't get your truck until October or November at least.

Little update for anyone wondering it was just a misunderstanding between the salesman and I. He just confused me with a different customer is all and informed me I’ll be getting a 23 by late this year or early next year!

I hope so but reality is 6 month at earliest, probability 8 months or longer unless the supply chain improves for 2023. Plat PB seems to be the last on list for scheduling & manufacturing.

I hope not, my dealership told me they have delivery times typically of 4 months since they are one of the largest in the country so I think they get more allocations than most dealerships. But again anything could happen just trying to be optimistic!

I was told 4 months 6 months ago and now missing 22 builds and flipping into MY23. If I get it by next May 2023, I’ll feel lucky.

Of course, I’m holding out to get what I had ordered…nothing more, nothing less.

Co-worker ordered a Plat PB, BAP on 3/30 - got vin# the next week (supposedly the trucks hardest getting built and he was built a month after ordering) and it will be here this week (currently on a truck) - There is zero rhyme or reason with Ford.
