Delivery on new F350

Not sure if anyone can help, but I need to rant.

Ordered a new F350 at the beginning of November, told at the time it could be anywhere from 2-6 months, but should set expectation at 3-4 months. OK. Took off for winter thinking it should be in about the time we return at end of February.

Got notice before Christmas that it was scheduled to build at the end of January, everything seemed to be on track. Then notice it started to build, and then on 15 Feb we recieved notice it was built and just waiting on shipping, expected delivery between 25Feb and 3Mar.

All good to that point.

Now it’s coming up on mid-March and the Ford site still says “Built - waiting to arrange shipping which typically takes a couple days and may be up to a week”. It’s been saying that for coming up on 4 weeks!!

Called the dealership last week to inquire and they said “no idea when it will come, they’ll call me whenever it arrives”.

If it’s really just waiting on shipping it’s kind of frustrating as I believe it’s built in KY and I’m sitting here in TN just waiting…
  • My research shows Ford is trying. Dealers want to complete the sale too. It’s a National issue not one just with you.
  • We ordered 3 f350’s last March and received them in October… We were originally told Late August from the dealer…

    I ordered a new F150 Platinum in October and was told, MAYBE March?? It is SCHEDULED to be built week of 4/3 but I am expecting that to change

    EVERYONE is blaming it somehow on COVID…. Thats the reason for ALL the delays, parts procurement.. My 150 at 1 point had 7 holds on it - 4x4…5.0…twin panel moon roof…Adaptive Steering… spray in bedliner… and 1 other I forget…All due to the fact that people do not want to work…

    I expect to have my truck built only to sit and wait for a chip…. This should holefull get better once we ( USA ) start to build our own chips… hopefully 2023??????
