My scheduled build date/ build week is 8-29 with an eta to dealer of 9-12. So I get on the chat and they tell me 9-22. I've never put much faith in the chat but I wanted to know if anyone else has came across the same problem? The wait is a killer once you have a date in mind!

I ordered mine last week. Dealer told me it has been accepted and processing. Ordering a 2017 f450 platinum. Can't wait!!! I guess I'll ask the admins to see if I can change my name to juniorf450 once I get it lol!

I won't hate. But I think this proves that opening the order banks on 4/15 and for those of us (like me) that rushed in and ordered in April... that did absolutely jack for us. That's a fact.

I'll admit I've got a friend that helped with my order and I didn't ask for it . He's a 30 year friend of mine and I would of done the same for him if I were in his place . That being said your right it doesn't seem it helped anyone who ordered the higher end trucks but I haven't seen but a very few people get any trucks so it might still work out for those that did .

Very nice truck. Could you post a couple of interior pics? Plus more shots of the exterior. Looks great!

Ha, took that picture when I first saw it on the lot. I can get a few better ones on here tonight. Now I'll anxiously be waiting for the Amp retractable runningboards to start shipping. Couldn't get the Ford ones without the ultimate package..... It's a big step without em.

F450
Ordered my F450 on May 25 and it is scheduled to be built on Friday, 9/2.
Serial # is 64081 -- hopefully I can get a window sticker in the next day or two.
The F450's seem to be coming out slow. Got my fingers crossed.
