✅ 4/24/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[DamSea]

Hmm. My estimated delivery date was pushed forward a week and is now any day now (16 -22 June). I wonder how accurate that is though. Status is "built" but not "shipped", but I have seen that doesn't mean much. Less than an 8 hour drive from the factory to Maryland, but that does not mean it makes economic sense.

Edit: Spoke with the dealer and they expect it on the 19th.

I hope everyone else sees movement soon.

When my date jumped like that it was there within the next few days. Sounds like your wait is almost over!!!

Finally at Built status for me, but Ford shipping estimates are mid-July, and no shipping information posted on status page yet.

Heres a strange but possibly awesome twist. I just happened to drive by another Ford dealer this afternoon, and they have my exact XLT ER in Avalanche on their lot, it just came in and customer cancelled.
Turns out the dealership is owned by my same dealer, and they are now actively getting Ford to transfer my price protection to that vehicle!
In the meantime they said I can take it home tomorrow while they sort out the details!!!!
This VIN was blend date of 04/23 (mine was 04/27)..it arrived in the eta mine was due but for whatever reason mine is still waiting to ship!! Im dumbfounded but happy.

Only difference is I was getting the AT tires at no charge as Ford was short for my order..
This truck has the all seasons!
Fingers crossed but looks like Im good to go soon!!!

Its home!
Its actually on dealer plates for a few days until they get the paperwork switched iver. Still in shock what a change 5 hours can make! My order still sits at Ramp 51.
Just got back from some fun drives with it! All these months learning all the features, and now its here and I cant recall a thing!

I just got a shipping notification today. Blend 4/29 built 6/3 ship 6/20.

The truck is already in Chicago. (Via rail) It has an ETA of 6/21. it is going to Milwaukee.

Funny it’s already on a train to Texas, but Ford just sent me this saying it’s rolling off the assembly line. Seems timing is a little off.

Anyone know what tires they are going with for the A/T's (275/65R 18 All-Terrain (A/T) Tires)?

Truck was delivered to dealer last Wednesday and I stopped by to check it out and they appraised my trade. Then they used a 3rd party auction company to also appraise my trades on Friday. They were ready to sell it to me on Saturday morning (or late night Friday). My dealership was very gracious and didn't try any tricks, maybe slight pressure on upsells but nothing major; I would use them again.

However, I decided not to buy the PRO after all considering the out the door price is that of low mileage used XLT's and for just $5k more even some slightly higher mileage (but still low) used Lariats. So I decided to pass, after all this waiting I can wait longer. With the 2025 model changes and the used car market cooling figured no rush after two years.

Don't get me wrong if I could have got it for the original $40k I would still buy it; but missed it by 2 days it seems being in Wave 3. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not everyone can claim the full tax credit

Which is bs. It should be a point of sale credit for everyone. Why should the rich get the credit.

CONGRESS, made it a ~non refundable credit~ years ago, people with little or no gross income tax liability and super wealthy people (subjective ....yes) miss out on the credit, it's latest variation is targeted to ~Middle Class~ folks, again a subjective measure.

Wow…finally some movement.

 

[lakeguy55]

And yesterday mine went to Shipped status. Mid-July estimate.

 

[JustADude]

That's awesome, you're going to love the truck. I look for excuses to drive now. I take the kids to all their sports and activities, pick up the groceries, basically all the errands. I'm just over 1000 miles and it's absolutely amazing.

 

[benderofbows]

I haven't been updating much but I'm already at 1,500 miles and so far it's exceeded my expectations in every way, haven't needed a level 3 charger yet.
