Contemplating Cancelling

[Bakes]

I placed an order on my 402a AMB tremor on 03 Jan and have only gotten 2 emails so far, one confirming the order and the one from last week saying sorry for the delay. Pair that with the talks of features being stripped and more delays, I'm about ready to just cancel my order and wait to see what comes 2023.

My big concern now is the $1K I put down on the order. Do we have any leverage to get that refunded based on the delays and cut features?

I hear you, I ordered a few weeks after you but luckily I was able to get my hands on my slightly used “21 Lead foot. I don’t think you’ll have any problem getting your deposit back. Worst case you have to escalate but you will get your $1k deposit back.

Understand, I'm in the same boat. Ordered a 402A Stone Gray January 3rd and have received the same two emails.

I was originally going to go the Bronco route, reserved Oct. 1, 2020, ordered March, 2021 and when I found out it would probably be close to the end of 2023 before I got mine, changed to the F150 Tremor. I think the Tremor will be a better fit for me anyway. That Bronco rollout has been a monster cluster, no chips, bad roofs, other delays..... Just about every auto manufacturer is having the same issues. Folks are waiting months and still paying MSRP+.

The delays just let the aftermarket catch up with all the mods you want to do!

I ordered November 4th and get to pick the truck up March 28th, it takes some serious patience but it will come.

I was lucky and got mine off the lot. Right place, right time deal. I did get my deposit back but it took a little social media trashing on FB. I was contacted quickly by the dealership. It was different than where I bought the truck. They were all over refunding then. I removed my post after that. I talked to 3 other dealers and they all said they are refunding based on circumstances.

Ironically I am still getting emails on my order. I ordered Dec 1 and received the same apologetic email last week too. All I can say is the truck is awesome and worth waiting.

The wait was expected. Getting slowley bled to death with rumors of options and feature deletion is what pisses me off. I am paying 70k +, I want what I ordered. I get the feeling the Leo Beebe from Ford vs Ferrari is still running the company. Just tell me when it is getting build and when will it be delivered. If you don't have the parts, don't offer those options. Maybe our ICE F150 parts of going to Lighting production. Leo Beebe knows we can not go the the RAM or GM dealer since they have issues too.

 

[usn.mustanger]

I’m with you. I’m a patient man, I can wait, but it’s the deletion of features without the deletion of asking price dollars that is really pissing me off. I’m actually going to pay more for a 2022 with less features than an equally spec’d (at least as ordered without feature deletions) 2021. That is bullspit.

I've thought about canceling but need a new vehicle and everything on the lot is too expensive. Just frustrated with the whole process.

I am stuck in the forgotten January truck builds. "The Lost Tremors" brought to you by Ford Motor Company. I am going to hold out until the end of May. All my boating and summer fun basically starts in June. Then place an order for the 2023's and if the SuperDuty gets a refresh I may go that route instead or a Raptor R.

 

[Muffin_Smasher]

Yea I am in F150 Tremor limbo like most here waiting for a vin, totally willing to move to a F250 Tremor if they can’t get it built before the super duty refresh. Biden admin says buy an ev but there are even less EV trucks

 

[Bakes]

Are there any rumors on what the 250 refresh is getting?

At a minimum the interior will be updated to something like what the new f150 now has, with big center display, digital dash, fold out workspace, zone lighting, etc.

Nothing wrong with the current F250 Tremor really but it does feel 10 years older inside than a new F150 after the 2021 redesign. I do like that you get 35”s straight from the factory plus 6’6 bed with the F250 Tremor package.

I have no idea if the tremor package will include anything from the raptor like the transfer case and torsen diff, will have to wait and see about that.

That's where I'm at. Not willing to pay crazy dealer markup right now. Just gotta hope that my 07's cam phasers hold out.

 

[Bakes]

The most important question is will it have the active (inconsistent) orange details?

The Superduty got the 12" center stack screen in 2022 but didn't get the full digital gauge cluster. Spy shots show a new front end and rumored Power Point/Hybrid option. I doubt they would use 1/2 ton raptor parts in the new Superduty Tremor. Now the Superduty Tremor is old it needs a refresh with 37" tires, electronic locking front end and sway bar disconnects. I love you can get a Platinum Tremor in the Superduty. It's an add on, not a trim option.

Depending on what is removed during production, I may end up buying and then flipping it in a couple years for a complete truck. Just aggravated with the whole situation. I haven't bought a new truck since 2004.

Is there an option for someone else to buy out your order? I’ll bet someone on here or on Facebook would do it. Depending on the dealer you got it from and final price, I would consider it myself.

Getting your deposit back depends on the dealer you put the deposit down with. Granger specifically states that their $1k deposit is non-refundable. I ordered through a dealer that didn't require me to do a deposit, but I won't get quite to the 3% under invoice. You would have to ask whoever you gave your money to.

Ordered December 23. Received my vin today. Build date May 2.

Granger is very reasonable. Theyll refund your refund up until you get scheduled. They refunded my platinum I ordered no questions asked
