Talking It's On It's Way!

Wow, I spoke to my dealer today and my new truck is already built and on it's way!
He gave me the VIN # 1FTSW21P25EB64617
(not sure about his writing if his S is a 5 or vise-versa)
It should be here about Thursday of next week.
He looked it up, BOTH AQHA and Ford rebates apply for a total of $1500 buck-a-roos below invoice! =8^O

I know you had your doubts, but you will be very happy with the Ford Super Duty. Ive just passed 3000 miles and it is the finest vehicle I have ever owned.

There are a number of us, waiting for our Christmas Present. Mine (already called Rocky for obvious reasons) was made early this week and should be here in 2 weeks.

Now if Ford would just up the ante on rebates one more time (but I won't hold my breath).

How do you find out if your truck has been built? I ordered early last month and the dealer has no current info.


Thanks!

I'm also interested in what is the "expected" time for the dealer to be able to provide build and delivery dates. I ordered mine over 3 weeks ago, and the dealer has "no information yet." I did have him fax me a copy of the order sheet to verify the options, and it looks fine, so I know the order was placed. How strongly should I be pestering him about dates?

Also waiting...

Ordered 10/29/04 and advised should be here "around" 12/13/04. Has to make it all the way up here to Anchorage, AK, so maybe that takes a bit longer. Bought the F350 PSD CC King Ranch 4X4 through the Costco program for $400 over invoice. No mention of any rebates or incentives during the process. Anybody else ever use the Costco program? Had to order through Pacific Coast Ford in Seattle area and pay a $500 drop-ship charge to have it delivered up here. Still cheaper than the best deal I could get from the local guys. Although I'm sure if I knew the "right people" I may have done better... Don't really care now though, I just want my new truck to get here!

Waitin' for my F350 4WD CC PSD, should be here before Christmas. $1000.00 rebate from Ford, $500.00 from X-plan. AQHA has $500.00 rebate for non-X planner's. I think these rebates expired in early January 05.

I'd like to know how yours can make it that soon, as I have been waiting since Sept.21st when I put my order in and I'm still waiting!? I don't know when truck will be in but am told it had a VIN # two weeks ago, but no truck as yet, it's the longest I've ever waited on a ordered vehicle.

I ordered my 11/10 and it will be delivered 12/20. Could it be the difference between 350s vs 250s?

I was contacted yesterday that my F250 4X2 was on the lot, hope to go and get it in a day or so, when deal is finalized. Only had to wait almost 3 months for it, hope the waiting was worth it!

Talking

My F150 FX4 SCab is en route and should be on the dealer lot Monday. Ordered Nov 3rd, built Nov 29. Buying with A Plan, plus $1500 rebate plus $500 plan rebate.

I've been driving around in my 97 Ranger for the last 8 years. Needless to say, I'm very excited.

Got It!!

It arrived Friday late, I picked it up Sat morning.
White SuperDuty Lariat FX4 Crew Cab, 6.0 PSD, auto, tan leather, tow command, upfitter, stablzr pkg, cab lights, the works!
Wrote a check for $43,756! OTD.
Drove it home, took off the 17" Lariat mags with BFGs and put on the 18" XLT (XLT F350 style-round holes) polished alu wheels.
Wow, this is some fine looking truck!
Anyone want to buy some brand new 2005 Lariat Mags with BFG all terrains on them? I've got 5 of them including the spare!

Right now the Kentucky truck plant that produces all Super Duty trucks and Excursions is running at full capacity and not meeting demand. At this point and time, Ford has re-instituted the allocation process. This means that dealers that move more volume of trucks get first dibs on more trucks. If you want to order one and get it sooner, go to a dealer that has a higher sales volume.
