My dealer told me it took a month to get here when the truck was finished. They build it in a day I think. It's all the other process's that take the time.

I ordered my F350 Lariat on July 27, initial build week of Oct 16, then moved to Oct 23 and this morning shows build week of Oct 30. As we all know, it will continue to get pushed back until strike is over and start up operations begin.

It takes about 18 hours of assembly line time to build a SuperDuty. Once the truck is built, it gets taken to the rail yard. It could sit there for days, or weeks, depending on what train it is getting put on. The a couple days to a week of train transport, and then again, sitting in the destination rail yard waiting for transport to the dealership.

My 2023 F-450 made the journey in about 2 weeks total.
