I was pretty dead set on getting a Pro but as we all know it is sold out. I was wondering when it gave you the option to defer, did it defer your Pro build until next year? Or did they only give you the option of deferment without your preferred build? It would be nice to know just in case Ford...
Nope , I'm not anticipating getting a Pro this year 1. Ford isn't making many 2. I'm like 100k in line. Maybe wave 6? Hopefully , MY23 has some more flexible options for the consumer like an affordable XLT with ER or a Pro with ER.
So, do we know at this point whether the Pro will have running boards as even an option? Based off the last livestream they said no cab steps but is that the same as running boards?
I sent the email to the administrator. It should be up shortly, but I believe all dealers may have received this email. Mine was just nice enough to inform me
DEALER BULLETIN FROM FORD:

Reservation system is down (no more link on website), and order banks will open next month.

That and It was advertised with a starting price of under 40k so I don't think Ford would increase the price of the Pro because of the backlash they would face.
Hopefully there is some ford review process to this that way everyone can get their f150 in a timely fashion. I personally chose a small dealer because I had hunch this might happen and I was later reservation holder
On the Long McArthur livestream last night, they said that Lightning orders are ultimately dealer discretion but should follow the timestamp at that specific dealer
I was at the dealership today, looking for a bronco sport for the wife and they had a full line up of F150's. I'll tell ya that rapid red is one to be seen in person. That sheen on it is nice!. Stone grey looked good but surprisingly iconic silver caught my eye as well. After, seeing Rapid Red...
I don't think it will be the 13k to upgrade to the XLT. Hopefully there is a nice aftermarket for the grilles and maybe some body matched bumper covers. I'm gonna have to check out some local body shop but I kinda like the black reminds me of an older raptor
I just spoke with my dealer 2 days ago and he confirmed ordering to take place on the 26th and we set up an appointment. Ford also has an earnings call the 27th. Coincidence ? Maybe? Maybe not? I believe at the very least the configurator will go up.
