Default Dealers Cant Place Orders Yet?

Is anyone else experiencing any difficulty with dealers saying they cannot order the 15 F150s yet?

I've spoken with 2 of my local dealers and both gave me googly eyes ran off and talked to their manager and came back saying they cant order yet. one quoted me 8/28 and the other feebly told me a month or two.

I live in Austin and these are not small dealerships. Both are volume dealers with 350+ 14s on the lot currently.

They cant really be that out of touch can they? Maybe this is my confusion. I thought order banks opened about a month ago?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA!!

I ordered mine yesterday and I heard the same bull**** from three dealers until I supplied them with the ordering codes and all the info. Both dealers looked like a deer in the headlights, but all of a sudden they found a way to order the vehicle.
Some of the Ford dealers have allot of 2014's and some 2013's that they want to unload. Once the 15's show up the 14's popularity is going to drop considerably.

Western Canada. Just ordered mine today on the phone. My dealer phoned me yesterday saying that the orders were available to be made. He's just a salesman, not a manager either.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I called another dealer yesterday and I'm going in after work tonight to run through a couple configs (Platinum vs Lariat Lux Sport).

Thank you everyone for the input.
