Well, I guess that kills my theory.

Makes sense and supports the Hawthorne effect.

12/9 order, priority 10, still "in processing" per Ford chat tonight.

My dealer has several F450s in stock (10 when I ordered), so perhaps they've used up more of their allotment. I actually bought from them because they were the only ones that had F450s in stock for me to test drive.

Has anybody gotten an update on the F450 constraints? Have they been lifted or are they still in place?

A couple of us have received our VIN's and projected build dates within the last couple of weeks. So, I would *assume* any constraints that would stop production are no longer in effect.

My 12/9 F450 KR Ultimate order got a VIN last week and was given a 2/13 build week and 2/28-3/6 ETA date. "rustyshakelford," aka Brent's truck was supposed to be delivered a week ago, but I don't think he received it yet.

I'm really looking forward to hearing your first impressions. I was very happy with how the F450 trucks handled during my test drives - no 19.5" tire issues. I may have been basking in the massive-truck glow though.

My job #1 F450 KR is supposed to be here in 5 weeks and the identical job #2 F450 will likely be 6 weeks after that. Not sure which one I'll buy. Hopefully the updated order guide will be out on Monday.

Oh man that's exciting! Your not gonna want to wait for that second truck once the first one comes in.

I'll for sure keep my thread updated. Still waiting on the tractor to come in so there's atleast another month and a half for that thread!
