Time will tell. They have been calling people back and they are about four months away from my seniority.

 

Good luck, bro. They've been recalling mployees here (Lockheed) that have been laid off for about 2 1/2 years. The wait has to be the worst part.

 

Has anyone heard if KC has started shipping all those trucks that have just been sitting on a lot for weeks? I got the paperwork where my FX4 Screw was made the first week of September. My scheduled delivery date is 6 October, but I'm not holding my breath.

 

I would not get excited to get the first ones on blue oval news have been reading from the guys that are building them the door striker plates are not aligning properly so far the solution is a bigger hammer to make them fit, a person can learn alot from reading on that forum as those are the people in the plants and they chatter plenty

 

No, have not been given the ok to ship. Not sure if they are waiting for DTP to get up and running or not but we will see.

 

I heard that the Platinum orders will be first in dealer lots for customers before any other orders. I hope this is true as i was given a date of 20oct

 

Thanks for the update... even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. There's something that's been puzzling me since I ordered the truck back in May. If you order two-tone paint on the FX4, why does the interior have to be black? I settled for a solid paint job just to get a lighter (cooler) colored interior.
Thanks again for the info.

That's the way it was when I ordered in May! Monochrome paint had the interior choices of black, gray or tan. Two-tone = black. Yesterday I was playing with the Ford's online build and price and noticed all interiors are black. That's disappointing. If I had been notified of the change, I could have gotten the paint job I wanted.
Also noticed that when you select the Drivers Group, you have to add the reverse camera. I didn't pay for the camera, wonder if I'll end up with one?

One bright spot is my delivery date is guaranteed. If it doesn't show up Monday (which I will shocked if it does) I get $ back from Overseas Military Car Sales.

 

Today.

Looks like we got the OK to ship.

 

Hey screw, do you know when they might actually hit the rails i know you guys at ford cant release any detailed info about when they are going to hit dealerships but maybe you could give us a more precise hint after checking several forums including blue oval news it looks like its going to be within the month i would appreciate any little detail you could give us.

 

Cool thanks Screw. You know if thats all the plants or just yours???

 

Well, I am still trying to figure out what is going on. Yesterday they had a press conference at the plant. TV stations, politicians, Ford suits, etc. I saw a letter from the plant manager talking about releasing the trucks to dealers. They had haulers all over etc. Well, todays paper says they will ship later this month so not sure what is going on. The show at the plant yesterday was to "introduce" the new F-150 but that has already been done. If I hear anything I will post it.

Barritia, Derek might know more about DTP but I would imagine they are at least a few weeks away from catching up. We have been putting out 400+ units a day but still not up to full speed. They just started last week and I was told this week they are still at just a few per hour but not sure.

 

Yeah keep us updated. Derek if ya read this let me know if ya hear anything. Im happy with my 22nd oct date but am wondering if they will even be ready for then.

Thanks screw

 

Screw, where did THIS guy get his?
