Gents, first world problems here. Consider yourselves lucky you have any build dates whatsoever.
I’m in the big truck world and we have had entire 4th quarter builds get wiped off of the map.
We are just now able to reconsider re-quoting, re-selling, and re-ordering trucks and tractors along with a very substantial price increase. Then we get to build dates and are moving into 2023 rather quickly.
Count your blessings that you have a truck coming probably sooner rather than later and you know what you are paying for it.
If you want to blame someone, don’t blame Ford and be nice to your dealer and salesperson.
Blame the looney-birds that are keeping the ports of LA and Long Beach tied up with your parts. I’ve seen it first hand on a flight out of Orange County just a couple of weeks ago and the pictures that you see on the news do not do justice to the in person view of the container ship parking lot that is out there.
