Still waiting 20 weeks
I ordered back in July a F250. It has been at Jack Cooper Transport since 10/19. Just finally found out from the dealer yesterday it is still waiting for the liner and now there is no ETA. 20 weeks and counting!!!!

80% of the folks working for "Ground Effects" on LinkedIn look in their early 20s. Yesterday, the "HR coordinator" at this location was throwing a rapper-style peace sign on his profile picture. The picture has since been removed. No wonder this cluster is happening.

I know it's only been 2 weeks since Ford announced the "bed liner delay" but has anyone gotten an update on their truck? I called AGAIN this morning and they said there hasn't been an update since 10/20 for my truck.

The reason I've custom ordered it is because no dealer is going to stock a truck how I want it. I'm either going to spend money buying items I don't want, or settle for something that doesn't have everything I want. I've looked at going to a platinum as it has all these options but I'm not willing to swallow a $7k upcharge for painted bumpers, and different seats as this is the only thing you're getting that my Lariat order doesn't have.

If you can find me a F-350 CCLB DRW 4x4 6.7 w/ 4.10's, Lariat Ultimate, LED lights, power steps, tow technology, heated rear seats, upfitter switches, adaptive cruise in white or black with black interior I'll jump on a plane tomorrow to grab it.

Hope you get it soon!

By some miracle my truck was not delayed for the bed liner. My truck was built on 11/23 and then they were shut down for Thanksgiving on 11/24 and then the truck was sent over for the bed liner on 11/25, and the bed liner was done on 11/26 and my Truck was picked up on 11/27 then loaded on a rail car on 11/28. I was expecting a 2-4 week delay for the bed liner but it was done in 1 day. I sure hope they get that operation fixed so everyone else gets their truck soon.

My truck ended up getting released from the plant for transport on 11/21 with a new ETA of 12/01. I've been tracking it by train and on 11/28 the ETA bumped to 12/06. The truck is now in "Big Lift" Colorado only 60 miles from my dealer and Ford is showing a "manually adjusted" ETA of 12/21. My dealer is raising it up to try and find out why. It's very frustrating seeing trucks that were ordered 10 weeks after mine already in their owners hands. I couldn't imagine being one of the guys who ordered theirs in the spring and are still waiting.

PS: I decided to email the Ford CEO. I doubt it will reach him, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

That's funny. I'm suppose to receive a call Monday also. When I called Ford today the lady told me "I have an ETA for you!" I almost dropped my phone. But she continued reading the notes and said "I'm extremely sorry. The ETA was Nov 4th. " Then she continued to say how sorry and unusual this was 
So she said someone will call me Monday.
