Left Behind: The Pro Access Tailgate Holdouts

[Swaine]

I just heard from my dealer ordered mid-Oct a Lariat 502A PB, BAP, BUP with PAT. Still unable to schedule due to BAP and now the HUD. Copied me on an email from Ford saying the HUD’s are exhausted. He said that is the reason we aren’t seeing many Plats, KRs and Lariats w/502.

My 502A 5.0 Lariat 3.73 with BAP, BUP, PAT, FX4, and Tow was scheduled. I ordered 1/8.

My 502A lariat with BAP scheduled yesterday. Ordered 1/19.

Congrats
also ordered a PB 501A lariat BAP 1-12, it’s delivering next week.
Maybe because ours are a fleet order and not retail. No clue!

I think that PAT is still a limiting factor on getting scheduled. They have been able to get some ppl scheduled but I don't think they have enough to get us all set up. Of course, they have really taken it on the chin PR-wise with the PAT so they will blame other constraints and redirect you from here, but when you really look at the old orders, most have PAT in them. That seems to be a common thread to old unscheduled orders (not exclusively).

Chip told me that it was the BAP that was holding mine up but that they did get 7 BAP's scheduled this week, just not mine...

Too many BAP being scheduled for that to be a huge problem. Mine isn't and mine is 6+ months old, so that is obviously not my problem. Chip told me that mine was PAT and scales. Truth is that he (and every dealer) is guessing. Ford's scheduling notes are bunk. They said one week you needed Max Tow axles to schedule and then they scheduled tons without them that week. I believe that those notes are really for dealer orders, not consumer retail orders, but that is all that the dealers get for what is constrained.

That makes perfect sense!

Hello my name is Karl and Ford knows me as "Unscheduled - Clean". I have also been trying to understand why my order isn't getting scheduled. I'm hoping Ford can get their parts together and deliver these trucks before the constraints and deletes come around again... The BoxLink delete, I can live with, if it stops there... My build is in my sig if that data helps.

For those of you that have been waiting much longer than me, I honestly hope you get your trucks soon. I get impatient and then I think of when you ordered, and it gives me some perspective and a little more patience, at least until next Thursday.

You're starting to hit the time that really you should see your truck get scheduled. That being said, I'm a week in front of you and still waiting, so who knows how long it will take. Best of luck!

Ordered 1/9 and now scheduled for 6/17. 502a, PB, BUP, BAP, Tow, 7.2. That took awhile but glad to be confirmed for a date.

I guess I''m officially one of the oldest left unscheduled (I think I've seen one older). Don't think that there is some rhyme or reason as to the scheduling process. I've seen the exact order as me (down to paint), with a lower priority and more recent by 4 months get scheduled while mine was "constrained."

As far BoxLink goes, is that a delete or are they permanently replacing BoxLink with another cargo bed system?

Those new plates are on the 2024 Super Duty. I wondered when/if they would be changed in the F150. If you want the cleats, I suggest swapping them from your current truck(if it has them) to the new one. I’m scheduled for the week before the change to the new plate but plan to take the plate and cleats out of my 2015 if my ‘24 has the new plates.

I don't have any love for the BoxLink system. I never really used it. I just use the normal tie downs, so I guess I might actually prefer the new ones. Sounds like Ford did go cheap on this though. Oh well. Doesn't really matter if they don't ever build the truck anyway.
