Zb,
Putting the order in mid Dec for a late March delivery. Mainly to get the order locked in before any 25% tariff gets enforced at beginning of year. Unknown what year it will actually end up.
I've been caught off guard by the lead time for the F550 with the payload upgrade package being 25 weeks! I've ordered the truck about a month ago for a late March delivery as well. Good thing I checked because the sales person thought a January order timeframe but there's good ordering lead time info out there for Ford on the config component availability restrictions. I had sent the info to the sales person and he replied... "that looks like what we get". I pretty much smacked my head with how dumb his was. Never rely on these idiots to due the diligence needed. If I had not done some research myself, I'd be looking at a June delivery on a January order. :/
