WOW! Then I guess I got really lucky since I had all three of those "shortage" items on mine. Only thing I had going for me was that the factory was keyed up to do SuperCrews. Maybe the joke is on me and when i pick it up is will be missing those wheels and the chrome boards.

Okay, so much for Ford's "system." Can you believe that? Based on what Ford's telling me, it should have taken SIX MONTHS to get that truck! I think from now on we should just ignore Ford's commodity issues- they obviously don't mean much.

Maybe Ford "leaks" those shortage issues as a way to cover for other things going on. Or they could do it so that customers are pleasantly surprised when their dealer calls them up eight weeks after they order and says "Your truck is in!", when the people were expecting a six-month wait. Who knows?!
