This is a complete guess/assumption on my part, but I would imagine that when Ford determines the mix of trims in the total capacity they plan for the year, they have to profit margin into account. In other words they likely know how many Lariatās they need to sell to make up for the thinner margins they get on the XLās. Of course they also have to factor in customer demand. I canāt imagine how difficult it must be to get that prediction right each year.
There are several items at play with any order. There is a very long waiting line for XLT's and XL's. Does your dealer have any allocations? And last but not least is your build. Did you add anything on the constrained list? Our 23 rollover Lariat Hybrid was scheduled for Oct 16th then pushed back to Oct 23rd. It is currently awaiting shipping. Our new July order for a second Lariat Hybrid is scheduled for Oct 30th. The only option on both was the moon roof. So long story short if you want it faster a Lariat seems to be the way to go.
At this point I wouldn't worry, if your scheduled, they have (or anticipate having) the parts to build it. Now, if your scheduled week keeps getting moved back, then I would worry.The customer having some control of their own build, what a wonderful concept!
I'm really worried about the splash guards on my build scheduled for the week of October 23. I had requested they be removed ten days before the build date was scheduled, and was told they were. I even signed the updated build sheet and emailed it back, confirmed the salesperson received it, and ordered splash guards elsewhere the next day. Ends up they weren't removed after all, which I discovered when Ford sent the build information! It is going to be a nerve-racking week or so until I hear if my build goes into production.
Yeah my modules came up so I'm feeling confident the truck is alive. Just waiting on Ford's official confirmation.
Been told that ford builds the truck and shipped it to the dealership and they add the extra stuff to the truck. Like sprayed in bed liner, all weather flooring mats, locking tail gate latch. Etc.
I read this before so did not include the trifold tonneau cover that I wanted. Then received this from the dealer āI confirmed with my manager that it won't add extra time to the buildā
