I'm looking forward to following all of the incoming Super Duty's

I wonder if the Powers of being would consider making that thread a sticky

Great news for many.
I have a friend looking in to ordering as well and he was told 8 to 10 weeks on a new order just last week. Seems a little optimistic since plant has been down almost 8 weeks already and has a backlog of orders to get through when the plant opens.

8 weeks does seem optimistic. The high volume dealer I placed my order with this week said 8 weeks was the lead time they were seeing for F250's before the shutdown.

8-10 is what I was being told April of last year, for a 2019 order. Coming back after an extended shutdown, with new safety protocols in place, and back log, its hard to imagine they could bounce right back to an 8 week lead time. Sure hope so for those who are waiting, or planning to order.

I'd agree

I was told 8 to 12 back in February, mine is a basic XL so it arrived in 6 Weeks

There were a few members who ordered just before and after me and were still in a holding pattern as they
were much more equipped, ordered a 7.3 or waiting in the sublet line.

I just hope the Good Guy's & Gal's @ KTP don't get into a " RUSHED " mode

I can honestly say that my F-250 is THE BEST I've EVER ordered out, Bumper to Bumper

and of course I'm a bit bias, however when your buddies make the comment on the quality that's a Great Feeling !

It'll be interesting to see how KTP bounces back from being down so long. I'd bet order volume will be down exponentially over the next few months at least.
