At this point in the 2017 cycle, rebates *should* only get better.

That said, Ford recently fired their CEO, their stock is in the toilet, and most analyst are saying Ford cannot afford to heavily rebate their products going forward. I own a bunch of Ford stock and get all the semi-useless emails on the 'state of the company'. All that said, I would bet that rebates will increase as the 2017 model year starts ramping down. But - the new CEO might disagree because the cyclical nature of the automotive business hit it's peak over a year ago, and they are going to look for retaining as much margin as they can, while maintaining market share. Personally, I think the firing of Mark Shields was a big mistake. He did an exceptional job at the helm.

 

I am also from NJ and could not agree more, I will call Monday to see if my sales guy sees the brochure code. Delivery is scheduled for the 29th hope it arrives on time.

 

I have a brochure that is good until the 10th of July for $750. The funny thing is that my ETA pushed out from 7-2 to 7-9 and I am leaving to go out of town on 6-29 to Colorado for the July 4th. I won't be back until in town until the 6th. At first I was bummed but now not that it's pushed out it gives me the option to see what the upcoming rebates will be. I'm hoping it works out in my favor.

 

Checked COTUS this morning and it say "no matching vin" Last night when I checked it showed waiting on shipping. Looks like I will just have to wait to hear from the dealer.

 

Same for me.

 

Checked COTUS this morning and got the same message.. Yesterday it was in the build process.

 

Sometimes they seem to go into some kind of update mode on the weekends. Many times, you'll see it again Monday...

 

Yup, I'm in the same boat. No matching information any more. This sucks. At least when it showed up I got some kind of comfort being to see the progress or just see the information, and now nothing.

 

I was just hoping that meant it was delivered haha

 

Have been camping all weekend, just got home and checked and there's no matching info for mine anymore either...

 

I haven't ordered yet but I've read almost every post in this thread just to know what to expect. My dealer tells me I can place my order through June 30. Does this sound correct? My plan is to place it the last week of June to push delivery back into the fall as much as possible for hopefully better rebates.

Any tips you guys can give me? This will not only be my first ordered truck, but also my first Superduty.

 

Best advice I can give is to be patient. Second is check and then double and triple check the build order to ensure you get exactly what you want. Also, know that if you order an F350 it will not show up in COTUS and you will be at the mercy of your salesman/ dealer to get build updates throughout the process.

 

It's my understanding that the plant will be shut down for the first 2 weeks in July. I'd expect 10 to 12 weeks for build/delivery, maybe longer because of the shutdown. If it takes less than that, it will be a pleasant surprise. As long as you don't have any short term plans with your truck, you should be fine. Once your truck gets here, enjoy it. The one I'm waiting on will be my fourth. Once I went super duty in 2001, I never looked back.

 

This will be my first super duty and can't wait for it to show up. I'm normally a very impatient person and as of right now if it shows up according to the ETA on 7-9 it will be a very long agonizing 10 weeks.

 

This will be my 2nd new super duty, my 1st was a 2005 F-250 XLT, but this is the first time I have ordered a new truck. I have bought several new vehicles off the lot over the years and none of them made me this excited before.

My ETA is 8-10 August and that seems like a really long time from now.
