I am in the same boat lol.. watching nov and December builds mega cab HO.. I do feel sorry for the early guys… looking at dealer inventories with vins 190+ Just ups the blood pressure lol… my production and ship dates have moved twice. I now have a 1/6 ship date but it does not mean anything. Had 11/30 build date then 12/23 ship… just glad to be d1. I used to check the sheet every morning to see if my build sheet populated… I just quit looking and will wait for dealer to call…
So I’m in the opposite situation, I ordered in November with intent on waiting 4 - 5 months before delivery to liquidate some stuff prior to financing. I was informed it’s easier to finance while you’re IN the military vice retired from it, because of the questions about employment/disability.
I don’t understand why newer trucks are being pushed ahead of the older ones. I’ve read a lot of your posts regarding package changes (A/B to C/D), NE and Power Mirror availability, as well as other issues that have come up this fall. The build process has those codes that state that parts are being gathered, have been gathered, yada yada… but I wonder how if parts have been gathered (D1 I think) how they haven’t reached the D2 status (truck going to be built).
I can be WAY OFF BASE, but it sounds to me like a prioritization issue ( that is obvious) that occurred way back where some of your trucks were put on the back burner while fleet orders were fulfilled, and then parts became an issue hence the shift in packages. But, even that doesn’t make much sense because we’re told that the price from the factory can vary on what we had discussed with our salesperson. That should leave the factory the ability to patchwork together older builds using newer package contents…but why the hang up?
