October 26 is apparently NOT when 2022 F-150 Lightning ordering begins (order bank opens)

From the press release:
Florida buyers can now Book the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning at Brandon Ford

They should be punished for doing a press release purely for marketing. They are not straight out lying but they are also not taking orders either. My guess is they will tell any interested party to make a reservation on the Ford website.

Edit: maybe they are lying about Blue Cruise as standard... they certainly are not correct; it all reads like a bad infomercial

I want to know about the claim BluesClues being standard!

And what does "in the country" mean?

Chalk the entire press release up as SPAM. No reliable content at all.

Just received this from my dealer -

"We know everyone is anxious for the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning order banks to open.
Late this month, ‘22MY F-150 Lightning Reservation Customers will be invited in waves to the dealership to continue their online journey to complete vehicle configurations and convert their Reservation to an Order.
We will be reaching out to all Reservation Holders based on their reservation time stamp."

Dealer is in Hampton, VA.

(Lurked for a bit... Finally something to add.)

Well looks like there were some accurate post here about Ford waiting for this EV Bill to be signed. I’m patiently waiting for the ball to be dropped on that too

Sounds like Wynn Ford on Mercury BLVD. Nice folks when I stopped by with some questions.

That's who I originally had my reservation with... because they're the biggest dealer. They wouldn't confirm no ADM and they have a ridiculous $1295 dealer fee on all their cars.

They DO have great pricing on in-stock vehicles most of the time, in my experience, BUT it doesn't seem like the place to go for a deal on a Lightning.

It sounds like it was written by AI or something. Word choices and paragraph construction and such is super weird.

...and you'll get a crooked daytime running lights....?

 

[Easycamper]

That’s why they do pre-production

Quick! Cancel immediately! It's a complete chit show.

Seriously, given that it is a new chassis, drive system, software, battery pack, let's let Ford work on getting the IMPORTANT stuff right. A piece of trim that looks off when shot from a certain angle isn't something I would worry about.

Even if it made it to production like that, almost no one would actually care because it's such a great truck, just like almost nobody actually cares about "panel gaps" on Teslas.

Easy frunk alignment. Normal stuff that’s happens during PDI.

 

[Fordskeptic]

Get a Pro. No possibility of a crooked lightbar.?

I've been lurking here for a few weeks but noticed something today I thought I should share so I just signed up. Apologies if this isn't the "right thread." Anyway, I was checking on my reservation and it looks like there's been a change in the "My Reservations and Order Page" for the Lightning. Mine now specifically calls out an XLT now... wondering if anyone else noticed this on their page too? I'm pretty sure this is new. Personally I'm planning to go for the Lariat so it does bring up some concern.
