If it comes in the second week of September, that will be 20-21 weeks since it was ordered.
When I asked the salesman how long for delivery on the F150 he said it'd be about 3-4 months...

I am not sure how this will work. Just under 50% trade in their used vehicle on a new one. So, you go to the lot, get a quote for your new build/ordered vehicle, they give you a price minus what they give you for your vehicle, then you leave without a vehicle for 2 months or so? I don't see this working on a large scale. Also, when your order one, I am guessing you start paying for it before you get it. I don't see Americans as a whole getting on board with paying for something now and getting it a couple of months from now.
Covid has jacked up everything and I just want things to get back to normal. I sure hope we don't have a new normal.
Seriously, who wants to buy a vehicle and you can't drive it, get under it, kick the tires? This won't ever work in our society, not as a whole. You always have your different groups of people that like it this way or that way, and that is the American way, but in my opinion, for the majority, no way.
I ordered a Tremor 8 weeks ago. Still not being built. This is what the dealership told me. Ford is not prioritizing customer builds. One came in to another dealership in town and I bought it. At least the first dealer gave my down payment back.I can see a lot of incentives going away if/when they do this. You might now only see some smaller ones like if you finance through Ford credit or some end of the year ones if there's some dealer stock leftover. I would guess all the other manufacturers will get on board with this or I can see this backfiring on Ford. Why wait months for yours to be built when you can go over and buy directly off the lot somewhere else. Of course this is if you like the others product but for some not so fussy folks I can see them doing this.

I agree.but what hypothetically happens say, when i roll up my ranger in a ditch while goofing off and it's wrecked....and I need a new one...is the insurance going to be happy paying for a rental for the wait times to order a new vehicle?
having a dealer lot full of inventory is like going to walmart and grabbing something off the shelf. Imagine if we had to pre-order from the meat department for the BBQ this weekend?
