- 2022 Ford F150 XLT FX4 3.5L Ecoboost
First off, I just want to thank everyone on this site as this has been a great resource for me through this process.
This is the first time I've order an F150 vs picking something on the lot. I placed my order for a 2021 XLT 302A 3.5L Space White on Sept 28th. Was converted to a 22MY beginning of Oct. I expected to wait and wait and that's what I've done. Started to get impatient and went to another dealer near home to see what was on the lot on Wed. Got talking to the sales guy who does the ordering for the dealer and he was much more helpful with info and offered 3k more for trade in than my 1st deal. I was upfront that I had an order in but he felt based on the dealers allocation that I might get scheduled soon with them. So I went for it, only removed the interior work surface and changed the colour from space white to Oxford white from my original build. Well Thursday new dealer tells me I got scheduled for week of Feb 21st and gave me a VIN. Waited 2.5 months and nothing on my first order then on my second order within 24 hrs it's scheduled. New dealer gave me a priority code of 10 whereas 1st dealer was a 16. Maybe that helped or maybe the changes I made as he said the work surface can be holding the order up. But finally at least some progress!! Hopefully I'll have my new truck by my end of March bday. Now I have to go get my 1k deposit back from the 1st dealer.
I tried to search the tracker with my VIN and order code but it tells me "This vehicle is not yet available in order tracking at this time, please check back later." . Seems like others are getting the same so this should be normal for me right now?
