I know some people have said their orders where updated (there's a post here about it) and they were removed. Considering you can't even order a 22 now I don't know why they would update to remove it. I'd double check if those are important features to you.

I would be highly disappointed if they were.

Yes. That was only 1 person and it was apparently a dealer change.

I don't know why they would update to remove it.

One reason impossible to solve when the truck is in production, they're out of required part(s) and will not receive them prior to production.

I wish they would contact those who are being subjected to these delete changes and refund offers through the dealer* when features are deleted and:

1. inform whether it is a permanent delete than cannot be added in the future
2. the exact amount being offered for the delete
3. whether the feature is being permanently removed
4. a commitment to schedule production of a new vehicle as ordered as soon as the required parts arrive and provide a meaningful timeline

It's going to be a complete fustercluck if these are just momentary supply chain hiccups that affect production for a few weeks and suddenly the features begin to reappear on later builds. Give the person the option to be one of those later builds.



* - Dealers hold the franchise, they're touchy about being ignored

Yeah - will need to follow up with my dealer to double check. Those features fall into the "nice but not 100% required" category for me. Wonder what kind of credit they are giving?

Hopefully they have secured all of the parts they need for the current orders.

Page 17 certainly makes it seem like the options are no longer available... just wonder what build week makes the cut?

New here with a dumb question. But will ford be accepting new orders for 2023? Or am I toast until 2025

Toast for 2024, but maybe not 2025. FoMoCo still has a lot of reservations to work through but the economic situation is changing.

If the scales are removed for my 10/3 week build, I would want to drop the whole tow tech package cost. But the scales would be so nice to know whether the truck is getting overloaded, and I would think that distance estimates would factor the weight in? Time to see if the dealer can get any information. I guess if the bed is not sagging down, no worries on load. At one time there was a warning during build and price about tow tech being a late availability item, if I remember correctly, but I do not see that warning in the B&P details for tow tech now.

I talked to my dealer yesterday about this and they didn't have any information. Said the first they would know is when the window sticker drops. I am with you - the scales are the only thing I really wanted from the Tow Tech package. I wouldn't have selected it, but it is bundled with the Lariat ER.

Assuming they are cut, I wonder how Ford is going to handle the software. Will we get a different version that doesn't have that screen (software maintenance headache) or will we get an error code when we try to select it (worse user experience)?

Wonder what kind of credit they are giving?

the Lariat sticker at the link above showed a -$650 deduction for the scales and smart hitch removal. Not sure if PRO, XLT, other versions would have the same.
"ONBOARD SCALE/SMART HITCH RMVL
INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONT - 650.00 "
But Tow Technology package still listed! Seems a lot of tech is being removed.

so the mobile charger is now optional? It better be in mine when it arrives since mine was built in July.
