Nobody on here has mentioned a phase 2 truck that's started production.

 

Mine too. I'm sure they're built, and probably sitting at the speedway making some nice luxury mouse houses.

 

Aging like fine wines.....

 

I was talking to a dealer nearby and they've been prioritizing the orders based on personal vs. business purchases and those willing to pay cash. I wish I could pay $90,000 cash...but I'm not a business owner drowning in government money searching for another tax freebie on what actually is a personal purchase. The dealer I spoke to also told me that personal purchases they've taken have been deprioritized. I have my order in at another dealership anyway, but I'm feeling the commercial/business owner guys are getting to jump the line. The "supply chain disruptions" and current production delays are mostly just a myth to keep new car inventories low long enough to let dealerships clear off their overpriced used inventory. I heard this from a source who knows. Many, many car dealerships are facing insolvency if they can't get close to what they paid for inventory that came in last summer and fall. I've read here and elsewhere that it doesn't make sense for Ford to do this...and actually it does. They will sell those trucks one way or another...but if they're not on dealer lots, it forces people to buy what's out there now rather than wait a year. Mary Barra said herself that they plan on continuing to limit on-hand inventory from here on out and that the days of dealer stock and buyer incentives are gone. Ford's no different and have said as much themselves. This most recent round of delays is just another way to keep the party going longer for dealers, manufacturers and their business/fleet customers. Pretty frustrating but that's just the way it goes I guess.

 

Originally, I think they were going to start this month - but with delays on OKTB/getting rid of 22s - I'd be surprised if J2 trucks start to get built by April.

 

Good call. Dealer told me that they were informed yesterday on their conference call that J2 scheduling will start late Q1/early Q2. Which, I'm guessing, is really just going to end up Q2.

 

Has anyone here checked the Ford technician website to see if any of your as built data is there? It is the last thing they do when the they populate the trucks modules. My truck was in production and then scheduled again for the week of 4/24. The funny thing is my dealer shows it as built with a delivery of March 6th. My modules have not been populated yet, so I doubt it will be here in March.

 

I had that impression too, the dealer I was talking to placing orders on several models including a SD stopped communications with me, last year the dealers can't get enough personal orders so it is possible this year Ford is trying to keep the commercial buyers happy.

Between this and the fiasco of a situation with their Bronco production, it's trying times for long time Ford buyers

 

Yes, on the Ford service site, all my modules have populated this week...

 

Long McArthur on Live just few minutes ago said Ford didn’t have a whole lot of info on Super Duty’s but the ones that are currently built should ship any time now just finishing up some testing and quality issues. Suppose to release a video soon I will try to share link when it gets posted.

 

OKTB could be any day now

 

I would think I’m fairly safe, meaning getting my truck. It has been scheduled for production and issued a VIN. It was delayed from 2/20 to 4/24.

If they do get the OKTB early March as the video mentions maybe those pilling up will be in the transportation pipeline before mine rolls off the line.

Maybe I’ll see it by June……….

 

I ordered from the dealer in Houston as well. I am just hoping my trade in value doesn't drop off at the time of final trade in.

 

I ordered mine from mid size dealer on N Shepherd street on Oct 28th. I am hoping to get it around August this year.

 

I hope you get your truck soon.
