Anyone have any knowledge on how long from order to production on these? Ordered one earlier this week but guy I bought from said they have absolutely no idea when it will be here.
Unfortunately that wouldn't surprise me...hoping for 4 months though which is crazy to even think about. Guy even told me that if it came in and I didn't want it then he'd just sell it to someone else for more money. He said the only way they can get inventory is by having customers order vehicles to be delivered to their lot. Crazy world.File5 said:
Doesn't it stand for "F it, 250 day wait time"?
That was way funnier in my head I think lol
Looking to pull this trigger later this week. Who did you order from (if you don't mind me asking)?agcrock2005 said:

I used Justin Blissett at Bill Fick Ford. I've bought 4 trucks and an expedition from him in the last 8 or 9 years. Nobody ever gets close to him on price in my experience. Negotiate people...it's fun. I've never even met him. I live in DFW and they bring the vehicles to my work or house.Van Buren Boy said:Looking to pull this trigger later this week.

That stinks. Any idea what caused slowdown? Were there any plant shut downs, or waiting on parts from China? Also, you notice any trends like King Ranch/Platinum go faster/slower, etc.? Thanks.reproag said:
I'm averaging 70 days but it has slowed down. Only got 2 orders delivered in January.
Chip shortage again. My guess is we are seeing the effects of closures around the world from Omicron. No pattern yet but last time more chips = longer wait.agcrock2005 said:That stinks.

What's the latest average now? I only ordered mine 3 weeks ago so not expecting anytime soon...just wondering what the latest news in the supply chain mess is.

No update. Only thing I've had delivered this month are the 2 raptors so far. 241 and 237 days for them but they are in a different category for special orders like the bronco.agcrock2005 said:What's the latest average now?

Correct. Spray in bed liner and adaptive steering are still build delays.MyNameIsJeff said:
I've been seeing some as short as 2-3 months in a FB group I'm in. I took advantage of the market and sold my '18 F250 last year thinking the shortage would end pretty quickly. Now I'm getting kind of ready to get out of my beater and back into a truck, so any gains from selling mine are out the window.
There are a few options that I hear are drastically increasing lead time. I think the spray in bedliner and the adaptive cruise (or maybe adaptive steering?) are two of them.
Damn. Just checked and mine has adaptive steering.reproag said:Correct. Spray in bed liner and adaptive steering are still build delays.MyNameIsJeff said:

I'll call youAgTDub said:
Is it too late to remove the bedliner from my order?
Can't talk price on here or I'll get banned. Contact info is in my profile. Give me a callagcrock2005 said:
Reproag, what's the least you can go over invoice on F250 these days, and where do you start before any negotiating? Just wondering what the margins are on these things with so much demand.
What does "balanced out" mean? And was it from reliable source?WillieAg08 said:
I ordered two weeks ago and was told there was likely a better chance of it being balanced out and having to reorder a 2023 than it coming in. Still holding on to the glimmer of hope though!
Ha. I just e-mailed him this morning about this. I ordered through him as well. Have bought 4 or 5 vehicles from him. Good guy.WillieAg08 said:
Means they would stop building 2022s to make way for 2023. Ordered from Justin Blissett at Bill Fick in Huntsville.
I e-mailed him asking if mine could do that (I ordered 2/2/22) and he said he didn't see that happening to mine. Wonder what difference is between mine and yours. This whole thing is weird as hell.WillieAg08 said:
It was too easy! He was super quick to respond, no bs. Worst case the 2022 doesn't make it and we order the 23.
Lets hope so.Yesterday said:
Ordered a King Ranch December 27th. Was supposed to be built 2-7 then moved to 2-14 and then again to 2-28. Will update if it's built next week.

Have a ship date yet?
Ordered one 2/15 through reproag. I'm trying to take the same approach as I do with supressor purchases and just "forget about them" but its not really working....
