Updates from the field: buying a Ford Dually Edition
Morning all,
Started process of ordering a truck from Chapman of Horsham, recommended here in many many posts.
Interesting updates for the group:
-Not even taking any orders for 450s. Rep was not confident there would be any 22s produced.
-My 350 would be 10-12 months to deliver.
-No money down to order or hold. Worried this will turn into a bait and switch.
-Deal is now 3% under invoice… changed the day before I called. At least $750 more for waiting a couple days is a super bummer.
I’ll keep you all updated but as this truck is needed to move a camper, I don’t see us camping this year. Maybe we’ll get a seasonal spot and pay for a move but we were hoping to travel.
Take it easy! I’ll be back to update the thread for everyone’s awareness on times etc.

Not taking orders for the 450? Interesting. Wonder if it's close enough where it's switching over to 2023 production?

Have had my 2022 F450 on order since August. Once Ford accepts the order they do have a tracker on line to see major milestones. My production date has been pushed a few times and now scheduled for w/o 2/7. The dealers haven’t had F450s on the lots for a year, that’s why I ordered. Only way to get one on the lot is if a special order gets canceled but then the dealers are marking them up well over sticker, sometimes $20k. I’m expecting the dealer to honor the price we agreed at order, I guess we will see. Good luck

That’s not good news. I ordered a Platinum F-450 from Chapman at 4% below invoice on January 8th. I guess I just got under the wire to get an order in and get the 4% deal. I’m wondering if I’ll ever see it based on the number of 450s I’ve read have rolled off the production line. There’s two commodity shortages that a 450 has as standard that are delaying production, the wheels and 5 th wheel prep package.
Neither issue has anything to do with “chip shortage”.Last edited by Jerryr; 01-29-2022 at 05:56 AM.

As I read this thread, all I can do is chuckle.
We also ordered a Ford F350 DRW early last December. Immediately, upon ordering, the truck was placed on 'extended hold' because of the 'adaptive steering and sprayed in bed liner' we ordered. Those two options were quickly deleted from the order.
We decided to order the dually to pull the Solitude 310GK that we have yet to order because we are waiting on the new truck.
Two months later, with absolutely no contact from the dealership, I called to ask what was taking so long. I didn't really expect a real answer. Four days ago I received a call from the salesman. He told me the truck was being help up (again) because of the 'tonnage cover and 5th wheel prep package'. Truthfully, I wasn't sure if he was feeding me a line or not.
Now, after reading this thread, I struggle with the concept of the production of trucks being held up for '5th wheel prep components.'
Simply amazing to me that this can be happening to many many other folks waiting for their new vehicles.
What a country!!

There's a shortage of structural steel because we produce next to none in the US and importing raws and finished products has been an utter nightmare. Cannot even get insurance on most sea freight now. I have containers still on vessels from June 2021... crazy times that highlight how the US is not as self-capable as it was 75 years ago.

Maybe a silly question but what does x% under invoice mean? Let's say a truck lists for $105K on the ford website, what does 4% under invoice mean?
