He does.... PM him too! I have 900 miles left on my lease. This is hard for me to believe considering there are already 2016's on the lot. Im still with the opinion that something needs adjusted from the 1st few weeks of production and will be addressed and they will be shipped.

 

Yes I agree that something needs to be adjusted as well causing the delay. I knew they changed manufacturers for the seats but unsure if it was related to the loose fitting leather. If it's anything that eliminates the need for a TSB later I'm all for it, but as a custom buyer, Ford owes us an apology for the delay or at least some color on the situation.
I pm'd Chad as well after I replied to you.

 

:thumbs: All we can do is wait. Im happy to do so if given a perfect truck. A couple weeks is no matter to us.... now, that said...... my lease expires in Feb.... I'd like to be in something by Christmas!

 

and I'm happy to wait until I score a $1K coupon too!! HA!

If you look back on this forum to the 2011-2014 section you can find people complaining of order delays of 30 days or more due to problems with the rail shipping as well. 30 days would put mine right about the end or the year.

 

And the ones who are to be shipped by truck....?

 

Here in Montréal, a dealer receive about 8 XLT sport crew cab, 157''. 2016 model year. So they ship it.

 

My dealer has 3 on the lot as well.

 

XLT's and XL's on lots here. Made some calls. NO lariats on up. I'm still sticking with my theory that some part is awry.
