Some dealers “pausing” accepting SD orders?

But I think the guy is meaning that for all those orders ahead of his that are not dealer inventory that will be declined on delivery because of multiple ordering are a huge setback for us guys only ordering one and really intending on taking delivery. And also a delay for you too!

You guys may have taken the comment wrong. It was more of guys ordering trucks they don’t intend to purchase just placing multiple orders with various dealers and only buying the first one to show up.
Nobody in their right mind would be upset with multiple orders when you intend to buy them all.
Either way it don’t really affect our waits.

Someone ordering multiple trucks and buying only 1. That’s Fords problem not mine. I don’t think my place in line changes much. Kind of a douche thing to do, but don’t concern me.

I would be willing to bet that the dealers not taking deposits are hoping that people walk away from their orders. Since Ford wasn't building the dealer orders they can then put the customer's order on the lot and sell it for MSRP or more.

What if one of those ordered but not bought trucks winds up at a dealer near you and is exactly what you wanted and ordered but never got a VIN for? Wouldn't you want to buy it and be thankful one actually got built like you wanted even if a different color? I know, I would.

I feel bad for people or businesses that have an immediate need for a truck today. It would cost up to 20% more than being able to wait 6-9 months.
Last week my friend had a front tire blowout on his GMC Dually and was totaled after hitting a guard rail and being struck by another truck. He NEEDS his truck to tow his horse trailer so he’s screwed. He now has to replace it at inflated prices if he can find a replacement.

I hope the two trucks I have on order come in time enough to sell the 2022 I purchased off the lot and get my money back.

Looks like if I order a 23 ill be able to sell my 22 for MSRP easily. It has everything but AS. and my MSRP is almost 3k cheaper than what people are ordering at currently.

I have seen private party purchased get filled with essentially the same build as mine and they ordered after I did.
To heck with the hypocrites at Ford for being liars and for not fulfilling order on a first come, first serve basis.

I've heard that rumor however have seen blue window stickers available on trucks advertised at dealers showing "in route" while neither of my orders have been filled.

Either the AS, spay in liner, or 5th wheel options will delay orders since they can't keep up with demand for those parts. Add two of those options and you get delayed even longer. Add all three and it could be a long wait for the stars to align and all parts being available at once. Do you have any of those on your order?

I'm in WA State too, and had same experience. Korum Ford in Puyallup (Brian Camp), X-plan, $1,000 deposit that price protected me from a $1,200 price increase in Dec., and 62 days from order to delivery. Couldn't be happier, and I'll absolutely use them next time. I read all these stories about shady dealers and realize how lucky I was...

They did have a '16 Fusion in the showroom (yes, inside) it only had 44,xxx miles on it (my '15 has 83,xxx), but the were asking $21,000 for it. I'm hoping to get more than the $10,500 KBB trade in value for my car. Id be really happy with $12,000 - $13,000.
