Am I the only one who feels like this is normal and not all that wild?

"Deja vu all over again." I ordered a KR in Oct 2021 and waited...and waited. In May 2022, I abandoned the order and purchased a dealer-ordered Job 2 Platinum. Crazy days continue at Ford.

Maybe. I definitely don't think that having tens of thousands of trucks just sitting in lots from December to July (about 50% of all Job 1s) is normal. Pretty sure Ford execs would admit this is abnormal.

Not saying it is great for the customers or good business but based upon the information here and on other forums, it is very normal.

I can assure you after watching every Ford release from the late 1980s until this current one, they have never - ever - not had the current year F-150 at lots until March of the model year. Ever. Typically they would start hitting the lots in August of the prior year. They are about 7 months behind "normal." Farley has driven the train into the cliff.

This is a Gen 14 forum so only referencing what has been normal for this generation.

It was listed in the tracker as in production (not sure anything that tracker says means anything), but the dealer confirmed it was built for well over a month - just waiting on this thing to be fixed.
Mine is almost exactly the same. 702A without power boost and 3.5 EB ordered 9/28, build and blend 1/19 and nothing since. July isn't going to work for me so I'll have to consider other options. I would think if its a module issue, reordering wouldn't make a difference unless you change trim levels since the upper trims seem to be most effected.
