I believe your truck will be built. Ford will be manufacturing 2017 Super Duty's into November. Sit tight and enjoy your new truck!
How did you configure your F-350? Will you be planning to hold on to it for many years?

Hope you're right! Dealer seemed to think it would, but reading some of the other posts on here and due to my procrastination, I don't have a real good feeling. Yes, this truck should do us until we can't tow any more.
Super cab dually. Started out CCSB, but decided we wanted more bed space and could do with less cab room (will mainly just be wife and me) and switched to SCLB. Then saw the payload sticker for the SCLB dually and decided to add the extra wheels. We hope to travel quit a bit, but while at home it won't be a daily driver.
XLT with value package, 5th wheel/gooseneck hitch, tailgate step (have this on my F150 and wouldn't have a truck without it, but my knees aren't the best and not getting any better), blind spot system, 4x4, ultimate trailer tow camera system, polished aluminum wheels, 3.55 limited slip, electronic switch on the fly, extended running boards and several other miscellaneous options. Trying to decide which way to go regarding bed protection, spray in liner or bed rug.
Keep your fingers crossed!

2 days ago I told my dealer to get me the numbers on a f250 I would like to order if they give me the right deal. I asked about the ordering deadline and neither the salesman or his manager who were both there on a speakerphone call had heard of the deadline. I'm sure it is in writing somewhere, anyone happen to have the link? I still haven't received the purchase order or something similar to see the numbers yet...I called another dealer yesterday and asked a salesman there to do the same for me. Still pending both. I'll be bugging both in a few hours to see their offers.

Some one on this or another forum said that order close out was 9/1 but orders had to be in on 8/25. Donlen showed an 8/25 date which I think said order deadline to Donlen, so wasn't sure (will be when I get a VIN number). Not really sure what Donlen is, but that is what everyone points to for dates.
When did you order?

Not real sure what Donlen is or how it factors in, but this is what folks on here have quoted.
