I got a feeling that OKTB will be achieved today or tomorrow and a number of retail orders will get a VIN on Thursday. How's that for a prediction.

I'm thinking this is a possibility, but I am not gonna get my hopes up.

I am going to predict that trucks are going to be rolling into dealerships this week, with or without OKTB. Whatever is holding them up (BLIS?) is going to be handled at the dealership level, so that when they go OKTB the trucks can start rolling off the lots immediately.

I'm just going nuts waiting but you would think things should/would align fairly soon.

Almost sounds like inside info for such a specific prediction ?

Truth be told if Ford does not get things some what on schedule here soon, they are risking an extraordinary dip in stock (outside of the normal re-tooling dip), and obviously chancing a falling out with dealers/consumers etc... I'm rooting for them to get things fixed in these very challenging times, I know they can do it and i'm sure no one is getting very much rest on their side at the moment.

Several of the Ford dealers in our area are tied to (owned by) the same ownership group as the Chevy, GMC, and Ram dealers. I can assure you, as it has been mentioned to me, competitors know the situation and are working to capitalize.

Yeah, there is no doubt they are losing some sales right now. The other companies have not had such an extensive overhaul for their models.

Ok this might be more luck than my premonition but I will take it. unofficially head from a Canadian dealer that OKTB was achieved today. Fingers crossed this is real.

Hopefully Bobs update tomorrow confirms this.

Apparently Ford is doing what Ford has been doing past five yrs. trying to kick out products to fast and having issue with parts straight out of gate. All this makes me think is recalls later down the road. GM is coming out with a new interior and Ram keeps upping game. Don't get me wrong I ordered a new truck but hope new management can get Ford back to what it use to be cause, Job One Quality hasn't been what it use to be.
