I just got off of the phone with a Ford Fleet representative who told me my order (built 7/26) along with others were going to be held at the plant until September 25th. I pressed for an explanation but they told me they didn't have any other information.
I'm curious to know if anyone else has been told this and if so what did you order?
Ours is a fleet order -
F350, SRW, 176", 6.7, White Gold Platinum, gooseneck hitch, 5th wheel prep, cab lights, Fx4, console safe, stowable ramps, trailer camera, spray in liner, fleet daytime running lights, platinum ultimate package and moonroof.

 

My Platinum ultimate 350 SRW was scheduled to be built 8/29 and has now changed to 9/21. I not sure if that has anything to do with your hold or not.

 

Well that explains something. Mine was built the same day and has hit a snag. Hadn't been able to get any information as to why it was stuck or what happened to my window sticker.

 

They are holding all trucks back for the re-flash of 500/1000.


j/k :-)

 

The question is what is different about these orders? They're not all 450s. Obviously some diesels are already on the dealer lots. Must be a specific feature.

 

Trailer cameras?

 

No trailer camera here. Platinum ultimate package is common. Something there probably Causing an issue?

 

We need info from an insider. toddstang?

 

My guess would be the Platinum ultimate package as well. Probably something in the adaptive steering?

 

I just checked on my order and mine is still in production with the same eta 9/12..


Slowgear mine has the adaptive steering option

So some sort in anomaly with the body... so many mysterys. So many questions. I would pay good money to know what in the world is going on.

 

It seems as though it is the 360* camera that is the issue. I was told this by my dealer several weeks ago and have now read it again on the forum today.

Platinum Ultimate here.

 

I have a 250 platinum ultimate with every option available, had a build date of 8/8 it got bumped to today 8/15. The window sticker popped up today for the 1st time. Not sure what it means but it does say rail transport as I'm sure they all do but it also says ramp RK34. Not sure if that helped but glad to see a window sticker today.

 

Great information. Thanks for sharing. Information like sent away after producing is never comforting. Welcome to the Forums!
