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 too have a brochure but it will expire before my truck arrives but when I talked to the dealer he said he could see the brochure code and that it was good for like a month, more than enough time for my truck to arrive.
I need anything I can get, rebates here in NJ are horrible.

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.

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 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.

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.
