No work surface option on that platinum? Curious why you wouldn’t option it honestly. Unfortunately they aren’t showing any availability.

if you check my purchase order you will see it on the list.
For me, its all about a nice flat MEAL SPACE for the wife and I...
When traveling we frequently eat IN the cab, and that looked like a great option to us.

Agree 100%! Only reason we did it. We travel a ton and will use the hell out of it.

Also if return to work for me ever happens it will be a nice spot to drop my laptop in between appointments.

So one of the big new interior features isn’t even available yet?

Got some info from my order guy at my dealer, I'm going to see if he will send me this weekly and I will put it here if ya'll think it helps. Still looking like OKTB status for retail orders is expected on week 46, so what, mid Nov.

Late availability items look the same too. Does look like the reclining seats are due around mid Dec.

Don't let Ford know I posted this...

It is interesting that all items showing unavailable are mentioned in the scheduling area except for the Interior Work Surface. Is it possible this is an error?

It is on the other photo posted in that post. 50M is the work surface code.

I agree, just interesting it is not showing on the right side under scheduling notes like the other ”no availability” options. That is all I am saying.

Not just one, add in the Max Recline Seats, and two of the new innovative interior features they've given a lot of air time to, and the press has talked up, now aren't available at launch...

Ok... I am working my decoder ring... in post 35 the large picture (not the narrow one on the right) clearly says scheduling week 46 near the top. This leads me to believe that anything wanting to build in week 46 is subject to those restrictions. Would these same restrictions exist if the target build week is, say... week 50? The narrow part on The right suggests that the max recline seats would be available around then, for example. Perhaps the work surface as well. That could explain the discrepancy between the two sections of the report. Anybody know if this is the case or not?​

Does the Center Console shifter fold down regardless of whether you have the work surface or not? If its only available with the Work Surface could the problem be something to do with the shifter and not the Work Surface?

Correct, all models are getting it, at least that’s what I was told

I ordered a plat in August - so it’s going to be 2021 b/c I added the work surface? Can I remove it from the order?

I believe as long as a VIN has not be assigned you can without losing your spot.

You dealer should be the most reliable source.

I know it the past, minor option changes would go through right up till about a couple weeks before scheduled build.

Major changes, like 2WD to 4 WD or color, model change, would require canceling order and re-submitting.

Thanks. So confirmed that work surface is going to significantly delay delivery?

Everything I've seen to date says yes.

Everything I've seen to date says yes.

Why exactly do you believe it will be a while? I’m genuinely curious.
