in 2023 i ordered a f450 and got it in 12 weeks it was put on a fleet order along with there other fleet orders I'm not a business but they told me i had a 10 percent chance of getting it without ordering it that way f 450 are tough to get . with that said i just traded for a 250 and the dealer gave me 4000.00 less then it cost new in 2023
Order confirmed 7/10
Scheduled week of 8/11
Built 8/12
Shipped 8/19
F250 XLT cclb 7.3 w/ 4.30 in avalanche - premium, blackout (includes spray-in bedliner), fx4, 5th wheel prep, pro power, carpet delete, cab lights, upfitter switches, dual battery, work surface, couple other small options.
Seems like 5th wheel prep and bedliner are not issues for production timelines.
Coming out of a '24 Chevy 2500 with almost the same specs, which is currently at the dealership for the 16th time and is now awaiting full transmission replacement.
I also got a email this weekend that my truck is built. 2026 XLT w premium package F-250 4x4 long bed 7.3 5th wheel greater than 10000 package and a few other little things. No ship date yet hope soon.
Seems like we got pretty similar trucks with pretty similar build dates.
Got notification this morning that mine shipped, expected at dealership next week.
Hope yours goes smoothly as well, and best wishes for the new ride...
Ordered 7-14, changed color and added a couple of options on 7-21, scheduled for week of 8-25 on 7-24
Checked the tracker this afternoon and it now shows in production. Supposed to start next week but I guess it got moved up. Edit: The window sticker showed up this morning. Progress.

Glad to see yours built early. Mine does not start production till week of 9/8. Everyday thinking maybe it will start early... Congratulations.
Has any one taken delivery of a 2026 super duty???? Mine has been built for over 2 weeks and waiting shipping, the last up date was 8/15 with no movement. This is a company that can a mass all the parts to build these but can not seam to deliver a completed truck in a timely manner. I find this very hard to believe. OK I'm off my soap box for now.

I haven't seen anyone comment that they have one in hand. Ford charges $2195 on the MSRP to deliver it to a dealer. That may be a bargain, I don't know, but in my mind for that kind of money they need to have better control of the process.

My 24 F350 CCSB was built during the week of May 6, 2024 and it arrived at my dealership the Thursday before Memorial Day. Two or three weeks sounds about right based on my experience last year.
Talking with my dealer. She said once it is built, Ford takes approx five weeks to arrive to West Texas. From inspection to rail, to fueling to the dealer PDI.
So, my order was confirmed on June 11th, scheduled for an 8/18 build, the tracker system shows that it was built on 8/22, shipped on 8/24 and it shows an estimated delivery date of 9/3-9/3. I have not heard anything from my dealer yet, but i expect to take delivery soon!
My 25 came off the line on a Wed, shipped that Thu, and arrived the dealer the following Thu. I am in the NE. Once it is shipped, if by rail, the dealer can track it. If by CSX, there is supposed to be an app that you can track the rail car yourself if you have the car number.
Seems I'm late to the party. I made the decision to buy an F250 while on a July vacation in Wyoming. I was camping and an F250 w/ trailer pulled in next to me and it just hit me why not. My current tow vehicle is a 2017 F150 XLT w/ 3.5 Ecoboost. For the most part it has been a nice truck. Enough power to get the job done though I'm tired of being pretty close to the limit of my max payload weight. My wife is also tired of me looking lustfully at the Super Duty's that we see on the road. So I have a Ruby Red-4 x 4-Max Crew Cab-Lariat on order with: 7.3 Godzilla, 3.73 Electronic-Locking Axle, Black Appearance and Premium Packages, along with some other odds and ends. Ordered on 8/5, it is scheduled for build the week of 9/15. It's nice to see the orders are coming through.

My first time ordering a truck - getting exactly what I wanted was nice since my dealer of choice orders 250s w/o up fitters or block heaters. Two phone calls and one email with the sales manager was all it took - $3k off invoice is the price.
