8/8/2022 Build Week

[Moc cock 8]

My truck must be way in the back of some forgotten storage lot! The dealer ordered GMC AT4 that I have a deposit on is stuck in Indiana "Pending Dispatch". That must be GMC's version of chip hold. I do not think I will see either one before Nov/Dec.

Sorry man. I know how frustrating it is to watch other guys and trucks pass you by when you ordered so long ago. Hopefully you see movement very soon. I have gotten lucky with shipping so far.

*BTW do you have a preference on which truck you want?

I think the new interior on the AT4 beats the F150. I like the muti-pro tailgate and the 6.2 V8 sound. The F150 has the 2k gen, tows more and has the torsen. I will have to decide when one actually shows up. I will also have to see if the F150 has flat spots on the tires. underbody rust and other issues from sitting parked outside for months.

I guess I'll jump in here since technically my truck shows up in production as of 8/9.

Sitting at 951 lines of as-built. No cluster, no DSP, no side obstacle detection modules, no battery energy control module, and partial data for several others (compared to a similar completed truck).

Heard from my dealer last night, who has another customer working at Ford, that they are pulling trucks back in to complete them, but he said it'll probably be another 2-3 weeks until mine gets pulled.

That said, I think they are bringing them back to the line to complete the rest of the build process, and that may be why other modules aren't populating data yet.

Either way, I'm now looking at local dealers to see if I can locate another Lariat or similar spec vehicle in the event this drags into Nov., As I'll lose my backup vehicle and need something to drive.

Anybody else's trade value drop dramatically recently? I had a 5 month or 7500 mile trade lock but since there were so many delays I've gone over on time. Original trade value was 48k and now it's 41k. Vehicle has shipped but it hasn't arrived yet. They stated the market has changed a ton.

My dealer warned me this was happening, so I sold my 2019 truck and cashed out with equity. I'm not surprised.

I would expect significant downward pricing movement in the used car market over the next 9 months from everything I'm seeing. With many models, it has already begun. Plus, used car inventories are starting creep back up (not normal levels yet).

@Ford Motor Company, Nothing to say! Have your corporate overlords banned you from explaining the nonsensical way Ford builds vehicles. Most people do not mind waiting their turn. The clowns at Ford must use a dart or wiji board to decided which trucks gets pulled out of storage and gets chips or badges. Good luck MY23 customers!

When I ordered on April 2nd 22 my trade was appraised at 28.5k, 6 months - 10,000 miles later and no end in sight I'm afraid to ask

My 60th day of "chip hold" has come and also my ETA of 10/7 was just pushed to the week of 10/15. I wonder if @Ford Motor Company will give me my truck before Christmas?
