WTF, It's takes Bloomberg to inform us on what's going on with shipments? Ford is really dropping the ball with communication and anxious buyers are getting pissed off.

Absurd reaction. Ford is going out of their way to make sure trucks are perfect and you're pissed?

If they had shipped them with issues you would have been pissed too...

I have heard nothing from Ford on expected hard dates. Too many entitled people... Have some patience.

My dealer told me this on Monday, that they're making sure QAQC catches everything so they don't have problems at launch.

Perhaps if he'd done something to indicate he's a serious buyer, like put a deposit on the specific vehicle he'd ordered, the results would've been better? The dealer will have an easier time selling a new F150 at a favorable price than he will a used GMC if he still wants an F150 after he drives one.
