The important thing about X-plan is that ADM isn't allowed.

Is ADM "allowed" on any custom order?

Several dealers have been doing it. Unfortunately, Ford has no way to enforce that. X-plan rules come with teeth Ford can use to limit dealer violations.

And $50 is $50

X-Plan starts with MY 2023

That’s a 22

You may be joking, but this could be a major consideration for some. I have read that AM radio is still very popular in the mid-west (hence the huge antenna).

Based upon personal EV experience, the quality of AM sound can be significantly impacted unless Ford can fully shield the radio and antenna electronics from interference.

The first two waves are basically MY22 extensions for those who wanted PRO/XLT trims.

The first wave of new conversions isn't until Wave3 (Sept). If MY22 hasn't been fully scheduled by mid Sept there are some bigger issues at play. Since the new waves are MY23, none should be scheduled before Oct 10 anyway...

mom new to this forum. I put in my reservation Aug 8, 2021. I’ve received no emails from Ford about order not if I’ve been dropped. Am I one of those hoping to be in wave 3? Or did I get passed by and have no hope of getting to order at all?

Probably Model Year 2024.

Ask your dealer what position in their queue you are.

I put in an order for a Pro in wave 1 a couple weeks ago. I was NOT required to add the Onboard Scale w/ smart hitch DELETE. So my order has that on it right now. Will this mess up my order? Im hoping that since this is going to be built later next year, that these things will come back to being available. I read on the 1st page these impacts are through 4Q 2022, which my build would be much after that (autumn 2023).

Also isnt Ford changing the Sync4 system to Android based? so wouldnt it be called something new? I see no mention of that anywhere.

Chip Shortage Impact
While the automotive industry continues to be confronted by supply chain shortages, Ford is working diligently to ensure our vehicles are delivered on a timely basis to meet customer demand. These shortages impact a wide variety of components used to manufacture our products. The following 22MY F-150 Lightning actions continue to be implemented for 23MY F-150 Lightning Orders through 4Q 2022:

• Multi-Contour Seats with Active Motion Removal (91X) is required (Platinum)
• Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch Removal (63X) is required (Optional Tow Technology Package on Pro, XLT, & Lariat 510A. Standard on Lariat 511A & Platinum)

What happens to a person like me? I registered August 2021. I have not received any “MY22”, MY23 carryover invites. My local dealer sayes they know nothing?
1. Is 3rd wave the last wave for 2023? What is the last order date to purchase a 2023?

2. will ford eventually send me an invite for another year? Or am I kicked out of the system?
3. I am willing to get a f150 w Powerboost if I know I won’t be getting a lightning. But I want to know that I am not in queue, or that I need to wait till ‘24, or ‘25?

i need to move forward one way or the other. I’d appreciate Any guidance!

You will continue to have a reservation and eventually get invited to order. Wave 3 is not the last wave of 2023 MY, there will be many more. Your dealer should be able to give you some estimate of how many reservations are with them and where you are in that queue (although many have not been willing to share it).

Will I be ordering in 2023? What’s the probability of driving it off the lot this year? One other forum response said to expect it in 2024. If so, I’ll get a hybrid powerboost until then. If 2023, I will wait. Ford will need to close orrdering at some set amount. Will we be given any indication of when that is?
