It's about time...

We finally gave the dealer the OK to order the new F350 (yes, I listened to everyone's advice!). I had hoped to get the order in last Thursday, but the sales guy didn't get back to me in time. He said the system picks up the orders every Thursday night so we'll have to wait till tomorrow night for it to get into the system. I waited about as long as I dare to be sure it didn't come before the current incentive programs expire in case they increase them.

Now I'm itching for it to get here....so in the meantime, I'm looking at a 2011 Can Am Renegade X to play with until the truck arrives. I told the wife I need something to put in the bed of the new truck. She was not amused.

Hope you get it before the shortage hits. Waiting is the worst part.The link above does not sound good for future orders.

Yep..I assumed we'd have some delays. I'm in no hurry. The longer it takes the more down payment I have and the better the odds are that the incentives will go up. If it takes too long, I'll just switch it to a 2012!

Biggziff,
Does your dealer have an allocation for a Super Duty?
I'm sure you already checked if they do have one.
After waiting 9 weeks for my truck is when I found
out that my dealer did not have one.
That was the longest 14 weeks of my life.
I hope you get it in a reasonable amount of time.

Yes...That was my first question to them. They showed me what their current allocation looks like and it is STRONG! They sell a boat load of SDs. They have been running 6 weeks from order pickup to delivery. We'll see how it goes for us!

That sounds crazy, I'd really like to know what my dealers allocation is, I think they always have around 100 on the lot and trucks come in every day.
