The closer we get to 10/26 without a build price tool, order guide, or even anyone on Earth that has driven a Lightning and doesn't work for Ford, the more I get irritated.

I worry that this may be the case. A lot of us may be setting ourselves up for a huge disappointment. That being said, I'd assume dealers would see a date pushed out in their system before the 26th if Ford really isn't planning on opening orders yet.

2022 Bronco Order Guide came out 10/8
2022 Bronco ordering started 10/13

I wonder if we'll see a similar lead time here

That's my assumption! Trying to quell my enthusiasm because I need to wait anyway but I'd really like to check out the build price tool AND test drive one before I commit over 70k to it.

With the way reservations work, you are not committing any money until the dealer gets your truck and you go in and purchase it. You can always decline at that time. No harm to them, it'll just be sold in seconds with markup.


Realistically, we're not seeing test drives until 2022, so don't expect anything before than.

I understand how reservations work. I still want to know what I'm potentially buying and keeping for 8+ years.

My dealer had said to expect a delay a couple weeks ago... that sometime in Nov-Jan was more realistic.
