2016 orders/ delivery dates
Hey all,
I just placed an order for 2016 screw fx4 lariat with the sport package. Got a call from my dealer saying that any "package order" sport, special edition etc was slated for a "late" delivery. The sales manager stated that when ford sends back an email stating this, his experience for a "late" delivery was typically June. Any ideas if this is true? Anyone heard the same?
Thx
Tony

2016 delivery date
Hey all, I just placed an order for a 2016 screw fx4 lariat with the sport package. About a week later my dealer called and told me he that he received an email from ford stating that any trucks ordered with a "package" sport , special edition etc would be a "late arrival". He then said that typically when this happens he would expect delivery of these "late arrival " vehicles in June. Any truth to this? I find this hard to believe!
thanks

Did you order the special edition Lariat? Production for that starts February. The Lariat Sports at slated for beginning of January.
So, conceivably you're looking at June delivery of the Special Edition and April for the Lariat Sport.
According to Donlen the production is 14-16 weeks including delivery.

Hey Josh,
Thanks for the reply. I ordered the lariat sport. NOT the special edition. So I guess I'm looking somewhere around April . It's my first time ordering a truck. Just seemed to be a bit odd. I appreciate the help.

I am waiting on a 2016 Lariat sport also. Production starts on J2 1/4. If by some chance mine gets scheduled for first or second week of Jan, may be early Feb delivery time... but I am guessing there are a bunch of dealer Sport orders already pending for the last couple months... so could be into march I guess also.

I ordered a Lariat Sport at the beginning of September. Would mine get built earlier than someone that ordered in October, or is there no particular order in which they get built?

Those putting in orders now for the SE or Sport are dead last after dealer stock and all previous customer ordered trucks.

You'll be near the front of the line. It also depends if your dealer put the order in as dealer stock or customer ordered. Dealer stock has priority.

I know the dealer sets priority from 80 (lowest) to 10 (highest)... and I think that is only relative to orders from that same dealer... but across all dealers/orders, does stock vs customer order get different priority also? And how about between dealers... based on sales volume?
But it is also my understanding that stock ordered vehicles are built sooner/ quicker than custom ordered. Maybe Frantz could enlighten us on that process.
I custom ordered my 1999 F350 when it was announced, I didn't have much insight in the process until one day several months later the dealer called and said it was shipped and then another call saying they had received it, which was February 1998.
I would tend to think higher volume dealers will have priority over small town dealers.

To the OP, My guess is the sales manager is trying to make sure he doesn't over promise. but 16 weeks is 4 months, and things can happen that turn it to 6! The good news is they should be offering you the future rebates whenever the truck comes in. I've said before, I had a customer go from $500 rebate to $4750 because of increased rebates and Ford sending him a coupon by the time his car came in.

So I should be good with timing on a Lariat Supercrew 5.5 bed and 5.0?
