I ordered it at the end of November 2022. It was at the dealer last Friday.

I have seen some folks on the FB groups that ordered in Late January 2023 and already have their trucks.

They were building Job 1 trucks (XL, XLT and Lariats) first.

They just started building Job 2 trucks (the higher trim levels) a couple weeks ago.

They were stock piling them at holding lots until about three weeks ago. Mine was built on 3-13 and shipped on 3-15. I was glad it wasn't in the mouse fields for 3 months.

Ford did piss me off by not putting front tag holders on trucks shipped to states that don't require a front tag. My dealer says he can't get them and Ford said to talk to the dealer.

My first order of business was going to be installing my 45-year-old NOS 96ROCK tag on my truck.

i will be very interested to hear back from you after you get some miles on it and have towed with it to see how that new 7.3 gasser works out and what kind of fuel mileage you get loaded and unloaded
please let us know

I've sold my big trailers days my days of needing a truck that can pull 30k lbs are over.

The F250 is the 7.3 gasser and I probably won't tow over 10k with it. I did order gooseneck prep just in case.

Those 32" tires look like clown car tires on the F250. I'd like to put 37x11.50 Nittos on it, but the tires will cost $2,300 and regearing would cost $1,000+ in parts if I do the install. I guess I'll just drive around in a Bozo truck.
