    The system is weird. I ordered my AG SCREW on 10 September. I received a VIN and a 24 October build week less than 2 weeks after ordering. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to order selection. I messaged Ford Service last night to see if there was any update to my build. She told me that I was tentatively scheduled for the week of 29 October. This makes no sense. 29 October is a Saturday. All build weeks so far have been beginning on Mondays (17 October, 24 October, etc). I replied back and asked if it was a mistake or if I had a 29 October pin point build date. She said no, it is scheduled for the week of 29 October. I'm very confused right now. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

    How is it that some folks can get invoice pricing on this truck? Are you related to a dealer or something? Pretty hard to find allocation at MSRP.

    So I'm told I won't get a VIN until my truck stays getting built. I have a build date the week of 14 Nov as well.

    So what gives?

    Don't sound right. My dealer gave me the VIn# and build date at the same time.

    Yes, that's what I'm thinking as well. Realistically, probably the first or 2nd week of Dec delivery. I've been waiting two years, I can wait a little longer but it's getting difficult:)

    I agree also. Doesn't sound right. I also got my VIN# when I got my build date.

    I did talk with Ford Service. They simply gave me the same build date of Nov 14th. I inquired about delivery, and she said to message her back on or after the 14th of Nov and she would likely have more detailed info on an exact delivery date.

    Essentially, they make trucks until there are enough made going to a particular part of the country to fill a shipment. They won't know until the date gets real close where in the 2-4 week window you happen to fall. I.e., you will be at the 4 or 5 week side if a shipment just went out to your part of the country and you are first up in the new shipment. On the bright side would be if you were one of the last ones to fill a shipment, they you'd likely be closer to the 2 week side of things.
