Post New Order Timeframes

Okay I ordered my 01 L on 2/17 and the dealer is saying my delivery will be in his April allocation. They will be receiving 3 in March and said that is all they can get in one month. Please share your thoughts and statements that are being made by your dealer if you have placed an order for the 01 L.

Sincere Thanks

I think it all depends on how many people are before you, and how many trucks the dealer is alloted. One dealer by me is only getting 10 trucks, with an added $3500 to MSRP. 30 miles away, another dealer is selling them at MSRP. They are getting 33 Trucks(probably why they aren't marking them up). I ordered mine in early Jan. 01 and they told me late March, early April. I just talked to the dealer last week, and he said 8 people have received their trucks, and there is only 2 more before me.
Now, there is a cancel order coming in by a couple of weeks I will probably go for that one

At the rate they are building the trucks, April seems believable to me. I would keep calling your dealer to see if someone canceled.

If you are willing to drive to Georgia there is a white one setting on the lot at Team Ford of Marrietta. I was there yesterday and they had a white, and a black one.
