I’m so excited—I put my deposit down, signed the paperwork, and now I’m just counting down to (hopefully) February for delivery. But I’m also a bit freaked out that there could be delays or the dealer might tack on extra fees at the end. Anyone with experience on what to expect?
I had to wait 16 months for mine. Yours should be quicker, though. Good luck!

Oh man! Did they give you any timeframe at first?

Nope, they just told me it was unpredictable since I ordered back in 2022. But I didn’t expect it to drag on that long.

22 months here!
Mine took 6 months for my ‘24 model. Just showed up at the dealership yesterday!

Nice! Did you get to pick it up yet?

Not quite, they need to prep it first. Should be ready in a couple of weeks.
I just ordered a Lariat in eruption green with the blackout package, moonroof, and 4K towing. Dealer told me about 3 months.

That eruption green is the one all the reviewers are raving about—it’s a slick color!
@Olin
You gotta give it the proper forum hype: ‘Ford users erupt over eruption green’ or maybe ‘Ford unleashes the unexpected secret color!’ We’ve got standards here!

Haha, I’m not here to write clickbait headlines! 
I didn’t have to pay a deposit for mine.
I just paid the down payment upon delivery. They did try to sneak in a bunch of extra charges, though. I almost walked out over it but got them to take it off. Good luck!

This was just a $500 deposit, not the down payment. The down payment will be on delivery.
@Olin
Phew, that makes more sense. I don’t trust most dealerships, though.

Yeah, this dealer has a bit of a sketchy rep, but it’s the only one in town. At least I got them to agree to invoice pricing—thanks to my cousin who knows the industry. I’m hoping I can spot any nonsense fees.

Did you manage to get any discounts?
Touchscreen for climate control? Yay or nay?

Not a fan, but guess I’ll get used to it.
