Drymike. Congrats on new truck - Post a picture!

I think somehow the old trucks "know" when they're being replaced. I had been driving an old '95 F-150 (for a few years after my '01 F-350 got totaled by a fallen tree limb during Hurricane Irene) until I saved enough money to buy a new Superduty.

I got my new '15 home, went to move the F-150 and it absolutely wouldn't start. Tried and tested all of usual no-start culprits, but had no luck. Since I had swore to not put any more money into the old truck, I finally gave up and donated it to charity.

 

Ordered mine 1 Sep and received the vin 19 Sep with build date the week of 5 Oct.


Was given the garden variety 6-8 week speech as well. We shall see....worth the wait either way.

 

New member here. Ordered my 2016 F350 on August 13th. It was delivered to my dealer today! Pretty happy with the turn around time on that. 40 days exactly. XL extended cab, 6.2, 4.30 locker, short bed, factory gooseneck hicth, camper package, 18 inch rims. Work/farm truck. Replacing my 2000 F250.

 

Aren't the 6.2's based off of the 4.6 and 5.4's?

 

Congrats on new truck. (That came in fast!) I went from a 2001 to a 2015; what a world of difference between the two trucks!

Also welcome to FTE.

 

The 6.2 is a completely different motor. No spark issues either,just 16 to change instead of 8. 385hp 405 ft lbs torque.

 

I'm glad everyone is enjoying there superduty's. My truck had a ETA of 9/29 which obviously it didn't come. Now my dealer informed me that the ETA now states "not available". Perfect!, yesterday only made 15 weeks since ordering. At this point I am thinking of just cancelling. I was initially given a ETA of 6-8 weeks. I have spent over $1,200 paying to have my fifthwheel transported because of these long delays. Well guess what, camping season is over and I won't need it until spring now. Ford has definitely dropped the ball on my truck.

 

So what does your dealer say that means?
It is your dealers job to find out
I frankly find many sales men are very lazy
Ask to talk to the sales manager

 

I finally got the truck yesterday. 16 weeks and 2 days for dealer to receive it.m17 weeks from order to delivery.

 

Glad you finally received your SD Hedgehog1, now get out with it and get some miles on it.

 

Finally! Did they ever tell you what was holding your truck up for so long?


Congrats!

 

Pics or it never happened.

 

How about some Pic's of your 16 SD?

 

I'll try and get some pics tomorrow

 

Great, looking forward to seeing it.

Any 1st impressions with your new 6.2L?
