What is up with Ford?

[Dorkus]

I ordered a truck in September and knew it would take a while, that I get. BUT, I received an email that the "build was complete and shipping was being arranged" on March 26. Still no truck.

The dealer has no idea and he can't get an answer either from Ford. It is just bizarre, I have money to give them and they can't seem to get it from KC to OKC for two months now.

I just do not get why it takes going on three months to ship a completed truck that has been built, waiting for a customer ready to pay for it. Of course, I replied to the email and no one answered. There is no number to call. Argh.... rant over.

Anyone else experience this?

Go buy a GMC, they can't sell the ones on their lot. They want to make 5000 on dealer add ons, you know, tinted windows and coatings. I don't know what's going on either.

It's been like that since covid. We waiting 1.5y on a bronco, finally got built and it sit in Dearborn for a a month. Then it took two weeks to get from Dearborn to St. Louis, it sit in St. Louis for 2 weeks. Tracking showed that it was finally on the move again and supposed to be in OKC in a week. The very next day the dealer in El Reno called and said it was on the lot and we could pick it up any day lol. Point being, Ford doesn't even know exactly where their stuff is many times. First world problems I guess.

We ordered our super duty in 2020. It was built in San Antonio. Took three months to get it built but a week for delivery which was in 2021.

Were you happy with it once it arrived?

When did Ford start building the Ford Super Duty in San Antonio?

Did the dealer give you the VIN number of the truck you ordered?

If not, ask for it. You might have to call Ford.

If you have it some friendly Ford place can check the VIN number for you.

My mistake. Our Tundra was built in San Antonio, the Super duty was built in Kentucky. Good catch.

Absolutely happy. We pull a 14,000 lb + fifth wheel all over the country with the 7.3 gas engine, 10 speed auto tranny and 4:30 gears in the rear end.
No need for a diesel. We have pulled over every mountain pass in the Rocky Mountain states.

Yes they did. I can’t find a number to call Ford but will dig deeper and do it.
