Where is my truck?

[Armbar]

Harley,
I’m happy for you. It’s about time! Did you order from Granger? Is the production date the day they begin or is it completion? How long does it take them to build?

No, the order was from a local dealer and the date is really the week of. It’s not an actual production date which means they could change it but it’s a start and I’m glad I have a Vin number.

I feel for ya, I’m sure glad I didn’t take the bait and switch Ford has played with their not yet ready for production tailgate….simply pathetic. I’ve never seen anything like the product launch of the 2024 Tremor. From not taking orders till February, to all of the games they have played with what may or may not be on the truck (tailgate, led headlights, new grill) when it comes out, it is a total CF.

The Bronco purchasing experience was not fun. The whole process dragged on for three years in my case.

Ford’s ears must’ve been ringing today because I actually got a Vin number with a production date of July 22. Not ideal since I’m going away mid August with a trailer, but it’s exactly the information that I was trying to get weeks ago.

Good to hear the PAT is finally going into production. Awaiting Vin and production date on a 402A with PAT myself. Ordered Apt 27. Dealership opined it may show up in July. I’m hopeful for August-September.

I guess I fell for the bait and switch after reading some of these posts. My production date for my 402a V8 with no sunroof was August 26th. Said this would take several days. I purchased a Peragon bed cover hoping to time it just right for when it'd be delivered. Got an email this past week saying that unfortunately there's been a delay. No details as to why. I've got the pro access tailgate. Has anyone heard if this is still the issue for delays?

Mine has a PAT (also no sunroof). It was built on 8/15 and is sitting at Granger waiting for me to pick it up.

I feel for you. Place my order February 28 shipped August 18, just picked up picked up last week. Fully loaded v6, 402A, pro access, tailgate, sunroof, spray bed, Ford bed cover and bed scale. Never wanna wait that long again for a car.

For all the aggravation of waiting my dealer, Levittown Ford on Long Island did hook me up. I left $1k deposit in Feb and paid list price. Went to pick up truck last week with a bank check for full amount owed. He said price went up $900 but gave me a $900 credit to honor original price. However, he also gave me 3 year 0% finance through Ford with no additional down payment. I was able to re-deposited my bank check and locked in CD at 4% interest for almost a year and make back about $3500 less income tax. If interest is still about 3% will do the same when this CD matures.

I guess patience is a virtue, but 6 months? That's crazy!!! Hey, I'm glad you finally got your Tremor.

Congratulations!!!! I'm hoping for your kind of timeline.

Read somewhere Ford has trouble obtaining heads up displays and/stopped accepting orders for trucks with them. Picked up 402a with Pro tailgate less panoramic window and scales Friday. These are very nice.

Honestly I could do without the heads up display. I never use it on my other vehicle.

Picked mine up today. It has the heads up display (and PAT) but I wear polarized sunglasses and could barely see it. So yeah, not super useful.

Congrats!
How long does the whole process take once you are at the dealership?

Thanks!
It was fast. Probably half an hour. I was the only one there and they had the truck waiting for me. Just a few signatures and Chip going over some some of the features and then you're off. I'm sure they'll take more time if you have questions but having spent the last 5 months pouring over everything I could find online, there really wasn't a whole lot left to go over.

Edit: upon reflection, maybe 45 minutes but definitely less than an hour

Great! Thanks for the quick reply.
Enjoy in good health!

Finally arrived 2 weeks ago.

402A S/roof paint protection front end, ceramic coat extra fogs back and front with duel cam cord and air horn under bed.

 

[Armbar]

It looks great!
If I may ask, how much is a ceramic coat? Did you do it yourself? If so, had you done it before? And what product did you use?
Enjoy your truck!

 

[HarleyDavid]

I was going to do it myself, but I had the front wrapped in paint protection and they also did the fog/back up lights airhorn and cam recorder so they the ceramic as a package. It was about $800 with 2x coats and 2 year warranty where they will touch up 1x year.
