I ordered the first week of April and was told 10-12 weeks for a F450 4WD Lariat.

What exactly did you order?

Sounds like a great truck. What color did you get? AT or manual, what about rear end gears?

Yeah, I know the feeling. Might just have to go to a different dealer for another test drive just to ease the wait.


Hope that yours comes in real soon. Right after mine.

HEY guys, don't feel like your the only ones who are waiting forever. Saturday I went to our local Ford dealer. They have only had ONE....08 so far because of the engine delays with IH. I talked with the SALES MANAGER. They sold the ONE they had last week and got three more in thursday. They figure they lost 9 or 10 sales because of the delays. Sooooo..if a dealer couldn't get his order....don't feel to bad. By the way this is a fairly large and established dealer who has been in the Ford business since 1955. Everyone is realing from the delays. Yet, I see some dealers in the mid west with many 08's on the lot. Must be us NORTHWEST folks who are gettin them last??

I forgot....There is another Ford dealer I visited last weekend. They have not recieved a single 08 super duty yet. Matter of fact they are out of 07's super duties also. The salesman told me its the first time in 22 years HE hasnt had a truck to sell. They did have a who lot of 150's tho....probably 15 of em. But NO a single 250, 350, or 450.

Just ordered mine last Wed., F350 DWR 4x4 CC 6.4 Lariat, Torqshift, Toreador Red over Silver,4:10gear. I was told by the dealer today that it has already been assigned an order# on 4-19 and should be on assembly line this week. We shall see...

I am in TEXAS and have not seen too many '08 trucks on any of the lots around here like some of the posts in this thread have mentioned for their areas. I wonder what's up with that? Are sales way down because of the extra emissions?

I don't know what is going on else where, but almost every dealer I pass out here has a couple of 08's and I am seeing more and more of them on the road. Not very many 450's but 250's and 350's.
