That's Billy. She hates rodents, loves marshmallows & sleep.

I'm on Team Billy.

With that build spec I'd mentally prepare for a 2024.

Be patient and be positive. Maybe when yours get built it will come with the subwoofer again.

You may just end up stockpiling parts that you'd like to swap on when it gets there. I did that and I'm not alone. I had the better part of 2 years to wait and benefitted at the time (covid) of not needing a vehicle as much since I was able to work at home. Good luck.

Lol- reading all of the replies is helping me mentally prepare for sure!!! I needed that kind of negative affirmation to help me prepare! It doesn’t make it any less aggravating. I suppose it makes it all the sweeter once it gets delivered. 🥹

Thank you, yes, I have already started ordering things- new antenna, husky liner for the back, currently shopping for accessory lights.

I appreciate your insight.

Sasquatch is a constraint.
Lux is a constraint
MIC is a constraint.
No scheduling tomorrow.

If your dealer only has 1 allocation left behind yours then that means there are most likely a bunch of orders in front of you. And with your highly constrained build it is not likely for you to jump over them. Remember, their remaining allocations need to stretch out over the rest of the model year which ends in October.

The question is whether or not your dealer will still have allotments left for all 3 constraints when your time is near or will they just be down too floppy topped high packaged non-Squatches. While we have seen people get scheduled rather quickly, I think you are in for a long haul.

Blue, so I went to the dealership today to upgrade to the Badlands (from OB). I figured that If I'm in for the long haul, go big or go home! I was given the following info which is encouraging...

There were 9 total allocations available there. Me and one other are the only ones not scheduled for a build yet and there is one allocation open. The other 6 that ordered in 2023 have been scheduled. One of these happens to be the sales manager there who showed me his email from Ford. He placed his order on 4/1 and received an initial build week of 5/29. Ford emailed him again the following week and moved his date up to 5/22. I remarked that it had to be because he left off the constrained options. Well, it turns out his order includes:

-Wildtrak
-Sasquatch
-Lux
-MIC
-Tow Pkg

All of these are constraints, yet he is firmly on the near-term calendar. He told me I should also be scheduled in the next few weeks based on what they're seeing. Maybe Ford is turning the corner? We shall see, I'm excited but won't get my hopes up!

Well, I guess I got lucky! Ordered 4/14. All the constraint items too. Crazy!

That's incredible! Congrats. I placed order on 4/21 with several constraint items so hopeful that I somehow get a quick turnaround like you did.
