I ordered my XLT in June last year and just got an email last week it's been scheduled for production. So almost 10 months to be scheduled. You can perhaps gauge your order in this, though I know some got their builds more quickly.
I ordered an Ecoboost mid June. From comments on the MTC site, and news articles I know trucks are being built and delivered. The disdain is in Ford's zero communication on the delay. You're assuming it's because of a chip or other shortage issue. I can't comment on how other manufacturers...
Ford really is showing disdain for their customers here. Even if I like the truck, I'll likely never buy from Ford again. Though I'm old and this may be my last vehicle. Assuming it shows up before I die.
I ordered an Ecoboost in June. Not a single word as to when it will build, even after calling corporate. Originally estimated to be delivered last October from dealership.
