✅ 10/17/22 Lightning Build Week Group (MY22 & MY23)

[TaxmanHog]

Day 1 reservation, invite 9/7, ordered 9/8, build week 10/17. Platinum in Silver.

Then today, it no longer says scheduled for 10/17. Apparently others have had the same.

Nice to see some new comers to the 10/17 group, have you folks recorded your order data on the forum tracker?

On the ford website. A few days ago, it showed my build week as 10/17, then yesterday, that vanished. I saw other folks in a FB group reporting similar, so it wasn't just me. But I just checked it again this morning, and it is showing 10/17 again. I think it might have just been a website glitch, because the 1/2/3/4/5 at the top was truncated yesterday too, and today it looks fine.

Crisis averted.

I can't use the OrderTrack website yet, because I don't have the 4 char order number, only the 8 digit one from the ford website. My understanding is that I can retrieve that 4 digit code once my Monroney sticker is available. I saw posted, I think at the top of this thread, that I can expect to see that 10/6 or so.

Correct, but your salesman can provide a copy of the WBDO order sheet which will also show you the four character order number.

mine from February

I put in my reservation day 1.
In early Aug I got a survey asking, among other things, if I'd like auto-retract steps.
I said yes.
A few weeks later I got the order invite.
Auto-retract steps are/were not an option.
No build date yet.

Yep, thanks for that. I have a request in to my salesguy. Should have the info later today.

I too was disappointed about the no-option on the auto steps. FWIW, I saw a video recently showing some installed on a new F150L. I can't seem to find the video now. I don't recall whose boards it was, but I recall a SEMA Garage video mentioning that the mounts are standard from an F150, so should be relatively easy to get in the aftermarket.

I think you are right, because those pics feel familiar. I remember thinking that with the stock steps removed and the AMP steps retracted, the truck has a bit of a belly down there!

But going back to that thread, I see that we have a vendor on the forum here that has them for a discounted price, so that has me thinking more seriously about it.

a) which vendor
b) where is any mention of vendor discounts?

Not to disappoint OP, but to help others, you can get the AMP steps for $400 cheaper on RealTruck if you contact them via this forum (forum discount plus $100 AMP rebate).

Wow surprised a platinum didn't get. Did you not have one of the deletes?

 

[21PlatPB]

No there were no deletes on mine until it got pushed to a 2023, then I was forced to have all the deletes including the colour I wanted lol.
