Is there anyone who has either went down to their dealer or submitted a truck to be built/priced out?
Always amazed at the number "waiting" yet (evidently) different from me in terms of wanting to get that quote in their hands asap.
I'd like hear some hard numbers regarding the '26s (yesterday).

 

I don't think the order banks are open yet. The order guide comes out before you can get a truck built/priced out.

 

Thanks for that. I take back what I said in terms of early order guides being a good strategy for Ford in this situation; especially in a down economy with no good (new) news to share before next year's launch and a $3 billion(+) plant in flux not only over historic tariffs but let's face it questionable demand for a brand new holy grail product focus. Perhaps it is the only play with interest rates sky high and inventory to move yet I'd open up the order bank at the same time with decent price hikes a given.
I'm all in for both the old and new products either way..

 

New member here. I don't plan to be a regular contributor, but thought this information might help a few members out, just as I was helped by the posting of the 2026 Order Guide.

I stopped at my dealership today to see if they had any updates on the F250 Lariat Crew Cab Pickup/176 I ordered on March 31st.
"You saved us a phone call. Your order isn't going to make the cutoff date."
I asked when I could reorder and was told that the order banks are open, so, we placed an updated order and I changed a few options, including the keyless entry. I'm not in need of the truck right away, so I'm pretty happy with the way it worked out.

This first jpg shows the major price increases on my build. In addition to the obvious, but not terrible increase in MSRP, there is a hefty increase in the optional 7.3L engine and the AT tires are no longer standard on the Lariat, but needed for the FX4 package. They also tacked on a 100 bucks to the delivery charges. Except for the 50% increase in the price of the 7.3L engine, the increases are less than I anticipated.

I've also attached my 2025 and 2026 Order Summaries so you can do your own math, because mine isn't guaranteed. Keep in mind that the 2025 and 2026 MSRP and Invoice prices are not for the exact same build.

2026 Order Summary

 

Very thankful that you took the time to do this for all of us. My next question after learning above that the order "bank" never(?) coincided with the order "guide" was obviously going to be when (on average) that pricing would ever be released.
How many times in Ford's history have early order dates such as this one coincided (by a day or two) with this poster's experience of orders being outright cancelled...just like that?

 

Well, it doesn't look like the over all truck went up that much. I'm glad that I didn't have to pay $500 more for my 7.3 for the same exact truck. No horse power or torque bump. Just 50% more money. Lets put the that price increase on the high out put diesel. $12,500 becomes roughly $19,000 more? Not in my lifetime am I going to jacked like that. By some old orange goo head. If this is true, grab the grape jelly pull them down lube up good. Grab your ankles, cause this is going to hurt going in. LOL If you are thinking of a diesel you best find one now. Unless you got money to burn baby.
As far as waiting for the 30 models you'll only need another $30-40,000 to purchase one. Another LOL
Cheers,
Russ

 

The dealer didn't say the order was cancelled by the factory, just that my order wouldn't, "make the cutoff date." I have no idea what would have held up the production of my build; whether it's something related to the dealership's allocation or an option in the build. When I asked, they said they didn't know why it wouldn't get scheduled and I didn't press the issue as I was okay with reordering a 2026.

Maybe Ford is simply getting ahead of impending tariffs by covering their increased costs with the new MY price increases and encouraging dealers to transition unscheduled 2025 orders over to 2026 orders? Who knows?

 

No one has said anything about MARSH GRAY. Come on, gents, isn't that the best non-colour ever?
(Said with just a hint of sarcasm.) Is that like diarrhea brownish-green-grey?

 

From what I've gathered, your order is effectively cancelled in the sense that you are not getting that previously ordered truck (edit) 'if it does not get built and you do not go in and order again'. I'll dig up the video of the guy doing videos for his dealership stating that fact(?) if you'd like to get that opinion (I think that he does a regular segment called "SuperDuty Saturdays".

I would be ok with it too given the recent TSB concerning the 7.3s going back to I think 2020. What is a mystery to me is this apparent lack of knowledge as to the history of these order guide/book launches in general ie. my unanswered questions above.

I think that you could be right and that your last question is the most important one as nobody here seems to have any idea which seems pretty strange to me for the size of this forum being touted. I'm guessing that there are more Super Duty owners on the Tremor forum possibly (where they even have their own low-priced dealer chiming in) or elsewhere as these are pretty basic questions for new owners seeking basic information at a pretty critical time in Ford's history as you point out,

 

I guess that it comes down to just the two of us ordering 26's at this time and/or wanting to make sure that everyone's story is straight as to how this is all going down in (apparently) a very historic fashion. Where is the go to place for Super Duty owners or do you have to get in to 'diesel only' or 'Tremor only' just to find folks who live and breathe everything SD?

 

I am a few weeks away from ordering, guess I'm paying more regardless.

 

From what he posted above I'm guessing that it's at least 1% or so and hopefully not higher.
Just talked to a guy who claims that manufacturers are finally sick of dealers having to order vehicles that might not sell quickly and their having to produce same while not knowing what to pump out on any given day. Apparently custom ordering is going to start being the norm which would make sense on a lot of levels including this earlier than usual model year release.

 

What dealership are you working with? I want to order a 2026 F-450 and my local dealers keep telling me the order banks are not available.

 

Even though they have been increasing the price of the 7.3 gas engine lately, I remember in 2020 it was a $2,045 option.
I look forward to seeing what the Argon color looks like. My last few trucks have all been Blue Jeans or Antimatter Blue.

 

I can't wait to see this color too! I was going to order an Antimatter Blue, i guess it will be argon, gray, or black now!
