"I've ordered" my F150 Tremor thread

[Yeti]

I dropped them from mine too. I emailed Ford Performance today and found out I'm scheduled for build the week of Oct. 18th. After seeing pictures of the rear leaf springs I'll likely replace with Deavers anyway, so I'll tune the payload as needed once I see how it does with my normal loadout.

Congrats!!
Yeah, it's looking like deavers and long travel air ride or floating bag if they'll fit. For that cost though, I may as well build a 5 link

I was thinking about the ASS button. That would be a great place for Trail control.. How nice would it be if Ford did something for us VS to us for a change?

Damn, now that I read what I wrote, I kind of want an ASS button.

This Tremor roll out from Ford has been a real bust to say the least. Ford did a great job raising prices and killing incentives. I called around a few dealerships in my area and the best I could do now is MSRP on a Raptor order. IMO MSRP is a ripoff. I'm going to stick to my original plan and wait. I'm one of the lucky one's that still has a Truck My 2013 FX4 has 65,000 miles on it. Things were much different back in 2013 when I ordered it. Now who know's.

So you’re saying it’s as good as the Bronco release. Lol.

I just ordered a Tremor on Thursday last week. I thought it was strange that the dealership was able to put it in despite all this shortage. I figured Ford would lock the order banks and just push it all for ‘22. I still plan on that happening and I’ll have to resubmit the order…maybe they’ll throw the 5.0 in it, wishful thinking.
Sold my Raptor in May to feast on these stupid prices. Was going to go back to one, but building it pushed me to 75k…I can’t do that.

A dealership near me has an F150 Tremor and 3 F250 Tremors. I brought my wife over to look at them and she really likes the F-150 Tremor. She has Lupus and bad R/A. Well it looks like I'm back to the F150 Tremor idea to replace my ageing 2013 FX4.

You know, AMP Research makes an "XL" version that extends further/lower. That may make getting in and out of anything a bit easier.

What color are you going to go with? There’s 2 dealers around me that have a combined 31 on order, a handful are sitting on the 2 lots with several more coming in. Not sure why/how they got so many. A part of me was thinking I should just wait if they don’t unload them they might start discounting. But I have a feeling ‘22 will be just as bad with this chip shortage and people will buy whatever. I didn’t want to pay msrp so I ended up ordering through a buddy and paid about 1500 over invoice.

I'm waiting to see if there's any new colors next week.

Yeah, that’s what is currently being forecast — chip shortages well into 2023.

Chip shortage likely to keep car prices sky-high through 2023

Prices for new cars in the U.S. have set records for four months in a row and are now 8% higher than a year ago.

Good in a way, it'll keep the inflated value of my trade-in.

Looks like a bunch of people got scheduled, today. I hope we're all part of that group.

 

[Yeti]

Just got off the chat with Ford parts. Scheduled 1 November (for the time being). Guess I can close those 5 emails I had ready for Power Wagon negotiation.

When did you order? And when did you get a VIN? Curious on your (and others) timeline.

My initial order was July 13th'ish. second order (this one) was the end of July. I'll speak with my dealership later today to get my VIN. That I've seen ( I may be wrong) the latest I've seen a Tremor ordered that got a build date was 8/27

Very cool! I ordered on 9/2…no news yet for me. I ordered thinking I would get pushed to MY22

*update*
Just spoke with dealer and he checked on status of the order. Ford changed my priority from a 10 to a 1 so we shall see when I get a VIN. Hoping within a week. In case anyone wondering 402a, moonroof, B&O Unleashed, Torsen, auto start/stop removal, spray-in bed liner. Priced at 1200 over invoice.

I ordered 6/17 on the first day the banks opened. Got my VIN and order number on 8/20. Scheduled for build 10/11. For what it's worth I added Torsen diff which I assume slowed down my timeline. Also removed spray in bed liner and auto start/stop to reduce delays.

I really like the Power Wagon. The Anvil color is real nice. If Ram would make the Power Wagon in a 1500 with the 2500 frame capacity IMO it would be a major hit.

Ram doesn't understand the need to payload. They went far enough to make the PW and Rebel then didn't actually test it in use cases.

I placed my order for a fully loaded 402A 6/22/2021 and was told mine was being built the week of 10/18/2021. Haven’t heard anything else since July.

You can contact Ford Performance for an update. I was told week of Oct 11th and now have an exact date of Oct 15th.

Even without an issued VIN?
