6 to 8 week from VIN assignment...
I take it with the 11/30 tentative availability date for the diesel, they probably won’t assign a VIN before then? Was really hoping to have it before new year.

Probably not likely with the Diesel or those with the Max fold seats...

How do you order the sliding tray on the beach seat? Or is it standard? Here is a link of what I am talking about. At 3:25

I keep getting conflicting information on the hybrid model and when it will be available. Some dealers in the Austin area seem to think its a late availability and won't be available until the summer. Some just have no idea at all.

What are you hearing? Why won't Ford provide any information on it?

I think it is all about allocation with the Powerboost. Some dealers are getting them and some are not. That is to say, what your dealer traditionally sells they are going to order. My local dealer sold 5.0L and Diesel's in 2020, so there were hardly ever any 3.5's on the lot. They didn't have a single Limited (that I saw) the entire year. But that's just my take...

I think enough folks in the forum have build dates for their Powerboost trucks (which come out of the Detroit...the first plant converted) to believe there is no delay.

Before these trucks hit the lot, they need EPA ratings, so if Ford drops the EPA rating soon, that will be an indication.

Finally, and I know this is a long post, Ford is expecting only 10% of truck buyers to opt for Powerboost. If there is a delay in production, it would be because the market outpaced their estimates and they don't have the parts/engine/battery packs to build them.

We are being told that it will release for retail production in December, that is subject to change...

I have 3 ordered for customers and they are processing but no VIN yet...
Thanks for your response.
I've had my VIN for a few weeks, but haven't really followed up since then for a status. Trying really hard to maintain an "it'll get here when it gets here" attitude. ?
