I've been told that parts needed for the Max Tow package are causing extra delays and I fall into that category. I suppose it will be worth the wait. This is my first F150 and for that matter my first pick up. Needless to say I'm very excited and will be a very impatient 'waiter'.

Mine took 9 weeks
Ordered on 1/20 and picking up today - 9 weeks. I think it would have been 8 if KC had not shutdown for a week.

i ordered 9/30, got a vin and window sticker in January with a blend date of 2/10. It went into production 2/15, and it’s remained in production ever since. No word on why, no estimate on when it might become available to ship. It’s ridiculous.
If you don’t absolutely need it this summer, I’d honestly wait for a ‘22 since it might not come until that time frame anyway. Plus, that would give you a chance to see the new Tundra and what others have cooked up for 2022. If you do need it this summer, I’d really look all over to try to find one already built that’s on a lot ready to purchase.

I was thinking the same thing when I was doing the math. Now plus 6 months equals September when all the 22's are rolling out. My truck will be old news by the time I get to drive it. Unfortunately I am being very picky with my options and have yet to find anything on any lot that suits me. I'm being my own worst enemy, I know, but I just want the perfect truck for myself.

I ordered my 4x4 Lariat 4 weeks ago and I'm still waiting for my VIN number.
I stopped into the dealership today and spoke with my salesman. He finally got a VIN for his truck he ordered in December and his building is scheduled for late April.
He did show me his computer screen and an advisory from Ford that certain options are causing some delays.
The ones I recall are paint color Lead Foot; power deployable running boards: center console work surface; spray in bed liner.
