Don't Do It!
Don't just walk into a dealership and order a truck! Insist on speaking to only the GM or OWNER FIRST!
ASK THEM ........."DO YOU HAVE F150 ALLOCATIONS AVAILABLE TO YOU RIGHT NOW?"
If the say they DON'T KNOW or NO ....then just walk...don't believe any timetable promises on future allotment. Just go to the next closest dealer and start with them.
If they have allotment...they should be willing to place the order in your presence and provide you with a printout with order # and order details.

For a "vanilla" build they may be, but not if you want a few features to fit your needs, and don't want everything else a dealer throws on.
The dealers know what sells and that is what they ordered. They will add the tow package, but hardly any add the max tow for example. And for whatever reason, the majority have the short box. So far, I have not found my build at any of the nearby dealers. And it is nothing too crazy.

I'm seeing demand (for our units) ramping up in the next 20-30 days indicating upwards of 10,000 units per week will be flowing out of KC and DTP combined. That's a 25% increase over last year.
