Waiting room

[Paul N]

I know you warned me, delays and all... ordered Badlands with Badlands package, cargo management, hitch, grey roof, etc on 2/17. Got Ford's order email confirmation the same day. And... nothing since. I don't think I'm getting it by the end of May anymore. I'm hoping for some movement on my order and first half of June delivery at this point.

Any body else in the same waiting room?

Ordered badlands with all options on Jan 25. Received production date of week of May 28. Any thoughts that the date will be changed???????? Are chips still an issue???? Any delays because of sunroof?????

It seems like they are scheduling farther out now.

28th is mid week, did you mean 23rd?

Actually, week of May 30!

Just got my build date! Week of 7/4. Been reading so much bad news about dates that it doesn't sound that bad. How ridiculous is that!

I ordered my Big Bend Jan 26th and received notification yesterday that it had been manufactured and should be at my dealer between May 19th and 25th.

My salesman called me as my BS BL was being unloaded off the transport. I was able to take delivery later that same afternoon. My order hit Ford on 5 December 2021. Built 9 March 2022. Delivered 6 April 2022. Four months and a day. Hang in there, the vehicle is so worth it.

The dealer has to remove all the plastic. Mine hit the wash bay twice, as my salesman didn’t think they had done a good job the first time. The only thing they missed, and have since fixed, was to lower the tire pressure from 42# to the spec 33 #. Seems to run right around 34 # in 50 degree weather. That should work out great.

That's awesome. I ordered mine end of October. Scheduled 4/18 but was actually being built beginning 4/15. I was notified via email it's built this morning (should I be worried about the 4/20 finishing build date?) with an estimated delivery of 5/18 - 5/24. LONG wait, but the longer it got, the less long it felt. Watched pot and all that.

Ironically received another email from Ford today that my 'zilla Super Duty ordered 3/8 is scheduled for production 5/16. It's going to significantly beat the process time of my BS/BL.

My guess, you ordered something I didn’t and Ford had to wait for parts. my original build was the week of 14 Feb. It was pushed out 2 or 3 times. My deal breaker was the moonroof. I ordered the Badlands because I couldn’t get that on an Outer Banks at the time I placed the order. Ford’s computer would not let my salesman add it. I’m very happy with the Badlands.

Update: I received an email today that my Big Bend has been shipped.

Well, officially out of the waiting room - went and picked up my BS Outer Banks last night! Super pumped to have it home, and yes it's missing all the things that other folks are missing, so going to follow up with my salesperson to see what we can do on that front.

Now, time to throw some stuff on it and really make it my own.

I received an update this afternoon that my production week has been moved up from 5/23 to 5/16. Huzzah!

Ordered March 10th. Checked with my dealer today and there's still no build date. My long wait continues.

I got an email from Ford today my build week was pushed back from 5/23 to 5/30. I'm absolutely fine with it; I got scheduled for a build date within 5 days of placing my order. I'm just posting for transparency.

Same

Ordered Dec 13th, no magic Email yet. Checked with Dealer and Ford yesterday - got the finger pointing routine. "Check with your dealer, they have more info than we do..."

Did get a fresh print out of the order when at dealer yesterday, headed out to truck, scanned - it had all the fresh price increases reflecting about a $3K+ jump. ($2,500 base, $200 Premium, $50 Trlr Tow, $40 Cargo management $100 D&D + more Tax.) After catching my breath (calming down) went back in to dealer. Expressed distress, got a call back later, yet another hoop to go through. Yes, I am price protected BUT, will need to pay the increased price at delivery.... whenever that is. And once Ford confirms me the buyer, is me the original order person, they will issue a check for the variance.

And when I called Ford for the however many time, they had all my contact info buggered up, name, email etc. misspelled. All the stuff you need to provide each time you call. I said I did get an Confirmation Email after ordering, how can things be so messed up? I could hear the shoulder shrug over the phone......

In the Navy dialect this is spoken horsecock. You are price protected, Ford reimburses the dealership, not you. Sounds like the dealership is trying to get the price protection money for themselves. See this information provided by Tim Bartz.
