How’s everything looking for y’all still waiting? Thought we had a couple getting very close

I’m so close, yet so far. Mine took rail all the way from Dearborn to Lawrenceville, Ga - about 20 or so miles from my dealer. It’s now waiting to be picked up by a convoy for the last few miles but the dealer is telling me there’s a driver shortage so they’re not sure when they’ll get it. My ETA is supposed to be by the end of the week, so fingers crossed but I’m not holding my breath.

Truck is in Denver and awaiting transport to the dealer. ETA to dealer is August 1-7. I'm so ready to take delivery- there's a small fortune worth of RTT, racks, gear in the garage waiting for an actual truck. Also- can't wait to trade in my Tacoma. I HATE that truck.

Finally delivered to the dealer. Going to pick it up Saturday afternoon. So happy it's over.

My 10-29-21 order finally showed up today. Will post pictures after I pick it up the next day or 2. I have the option between 3.9% for 72 months and $5,000 in rebates or $1,000 rebate and 0% for 72months. Considering my purchase price is $6k cheaper than the last price increase, I'm going to stick with the 0% and hopefully keep this unit.

How did you get $5,000 in rebates and what were they?

How did you get $5,000 in rebates and what were they?

It was a 2021 order that got converted to a 2022 and they offered 0% for 72 months or a 3,500 rebate. 1,000 retail order was applied to both and a additional $500 would have been applied to standard ford financing

Got this on Order Track today:

Ford's order tracker, however, still has me waiting for shipment. 202 days since I ordered, 120 days since it was "built."
I'll know soon enough if there is any real movement.
Still have my 2003 King Ranch, but she is so, so tired.
The thing is, the company where I work purchases IC "chips" and makes circuit boards for our own line of products, so I know how awful that commodity is right now. We've had to re-design several boards to use other, more readily available chips, just to keep production flowing and we only use an average of 30 ic's per finished product. I cannot imagine managing one that uses 2500-3000 of them. Doesn't make the wait any less frustrating, though.
Glad to see so many from this group getting delivery. I hope I will be joining you soon!

Update: Ford's order tracker shows it in transit now, too.

Quick follow up.

I received an email today from someone at Ford Corp and they are giving me a 5yr 75k Premium Care Plan with a $100 deductible. I had emailed a while back when my truck disappeared for 11 days and no one knew where it was while en route. We talked on the phone about the whole experience beginning to end and this is what she offered. I’ll take it.

Nice Nomad. What shoes you got on her? Curious on spacing, spec, etc.

I just got moved to offsite for spray-in bedliner. Should ship to Grainger after that I suppose.

Have Icon Rebound with MT Baja Boss 285/60/20s. Offset on the wheels give it just a little poke. But if I had it to do again I wouldn’t get the MT tires. Took 3 tries to get them balanced

My truck has been sitting in Atlanta about 10 miles from my dealership for about 2 weeks waiting on a carrier to grab it. I asked chat last Friday and was told it was finally picked up by a carrier. Asked chat yesterday and they said they’re not sure why someone would have told me that because they show it’s still sitting at the ramp in Atlanta..

I feel like Ford is just trying to get in one last “F**k you” before finally delivering my truck.

She finally arrived last week. Got to work right away with the backlog of stuff sitting in the garage. Diamondback HD cover, FrontRunner racks, iKamper Skycamp Mini and new shoes (KO2’s).

Have you seen any progress on this yet? I'm looking forward to seeing yours as it's similar to mine. Mine has been waiting 10 days to be picked up from KC to Iowa, only a couple of hour trip by Convoy. That's frustrating but not as much as your wait.

No progress. When I checked on Friday, my ETA was moved to 7/31. I haven't heard anything from my dealer so I'm going to assume it didn't get picked up or delivered. Ford just keeps moving my ETA back by 2 days every time it misses the delivery deadline. It's so frustrating since it's right down the street from my dealer. I tried to check chat this morning but it wasn't working. I'm sure my new ETA is 8/2 or 8/3 and will just continue to be pushed back every 2 days.

I actually work in a field where I have access to plenty of trucking companies and could probably find one in an hour or two that would be willing to pick it up, but of course they have to use their approved carriers.

Good news - My truck should be delivering tomorrow!

Bad news - dealer is trying to screw me out of Xplan that we agreed on purchase. The X plan price came back about $1400 more than it was at the time of order. They're not wanting to honor original price. On top of that, the dealer is giving me normal order numbers with $899 doc fee, 145 notary fee, ect... X Plan should cap dealer fees at $100.. I'm pissed.

Got the routine email last night:

To ensure your complete satisfaction, we will require additional time before your 2022 F-150 LARIAT is delivered to Mike Fitzpatrick Ford, Inc.. Your vehicle’s previous estimated delivery range of July 16, 2022, and July 22, 2022, has been updated to between August 6, 2022, and August 12, 2022.

Third time it has been changed. Spoke to Ford Chat and they advised it has been "received" by the carrier and is at ramp 58. She couldn't tell me if it was truly going by truck as indicated or if its going via rail. I asked how delaying my order was to ensure my complete satisfaction, but of course got no answer.
