<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;m guessing they are moving along due to the possible tariffs that are going to hit. My dealer said don&#039;t worry about the price, you are locked in. Hard to believe if a tariff of 8 or 9k is added that they will eat the difference.</div>

(you would not be obligated to purchase due to the price agreement, but they can still cancel your order)<br /> <br /> Strictly speaking to economics (there are political aspects), those who advocate for protectionist tariffs should really look into the 1930&#039;s and the Smoot-Hawley act. The consumer always eats the cost. Even with increasing domestic production, reducing competition almost never results in lower prices. Any gains in wages and employment will be offset by cost. ....we&#039;ve got about 3 decades of toothpaste to get back into that tube, if restoring domestic production is the goal.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">So interesting info I got today. I got the build sheet and window sticker. KZL-D status. Scheduled to be on the truck 5/25 to dealer. I know the D in the status is delayed but not sure what KZL is. My last truck was KZ and KZN when it was shipped. Anyone knows if this all makes sense.</div>

The e-mail I received had a message from a &quot;sales field rep&quot; and it said, &quot;truck is about to hitch a ride on a train bound for Texas&quot;. I&#039;m guessing it will probably have to switch trains before it heads to Nashville, TN. Tracker shows truck shipped March 19th with ETA of April 15th. For those that have had their trucks delivered was the ETA on the tracker close or did the truck come in quicker or longer?</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Looks like the Cab n Chassis models are at the back of the production schedule line <br /> Order was confirmed Jan 25th with no movement since maybe should have ordered a standard truck and flatbed it myself I&#039;ll just continue to wait patiently....</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">The tracker is pretty much completely useless. Mine is showing &quot;Built&quot; for the last 1.5 months. I spoke to my dealer and he says it&#039;s been sitting at a lot in Texas since 2-20-25. NO IDEA why it&#039;s been sitting in Texas for close to a month now. It&#039;s really amazing how inefficient these car manufactures are. <br /> <br /> My brother ordered a F 350 back in Oct. It still &quot;scheduled for production&quot;.</div>
