How long does it take you guys to get a truck when you custom order one from the factory? Ford dealer here is saying 6 months-Toyota dealer is saying 4 months.

The last and only time I bought a new truck, special order was in 1998. I bought a Ford F250. They said the wait would be 2 weeks, but I had the truck in 8 days. I ordered an 8' bed and the heavier F350 like suspension, for hauling feed. I paid $38,580.00 for it. I almost bought a loaded F350 for $58,000 something instead. I had the loan aproved and all the paperwork done, except for my signature and got thinking how I was living in a house I paid $60,000.00 for and it just felt wrong, so I walked. The poor salesman called me for weeks afterwards, apologizing and offering slightly better deals.
The average wait time for a similar truck from Ford now is supposed to be 6 to 8 weeks.

In 2019 I was going order a new F-350. They said 4 months, so it seems reasonable if they quote 6 months.
Here is my semi-recent experience: When discussing the order, I asked them about their ability to hold the order and search dealer inventory. I gave them a list of specs that included “must haves” and “must not haves”. So the order was held and we searched for about 10 days finding nothing close enough. We gave it a break for a few weeks for inventory to change. They repeated the search and within one day found almost exactly what I wanted. My required specs were met, and it had some extras that are unnecessary but are very nice. With the family plan discount and stacked discounts, it turned that this more deluxe truck costed significantly less expensive than the less equipped truck to be ordered.
What are you looking for?

I’m not a Canadian oligarch so I don’t buy new vehicles all that often. I did have to replace one of my work vans last June. I called a dozen dealerships in a 50 mile radius. None of them had three-quarter ton work vans available and none of them could even give me an estimate on when they may become available. Some of the sales people actually laughed at me, saying things like, “good luck with that.” So I started looking at used vans and was shocked by the prices. Dealerships and private sales were asking more than new prices for vehicles up to six or seven years old. I ended up buying a 2014 three-quarter ton cargo van from a place way north of me. I paid $18,000 which was at least $3000 more than market value. I told the guy, “last year you’ve been hard-pressed to get 15,000 for this thing.” He agreed with me and said, “yeah but that was last year.” I don’t envy anyone looking to buy a new vehicle today.
Eh...wot?

Sometimes a review of the options package will show one or two specific options that delay the whole build. Perhaps the option or package could be changed and change the timeframe. Or with certain options, an aftermarket option exists.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Thanks for the responses guys,sounds like 6 month wait I guess-probably longer.I am a patient person,I will look forward to it for christmas.About like waiting for fur from the tannery,lol. I ordered it today. Ordered a new black Ranger 4x4.XLT FX4 supercab with the mid range EQ,and sport appearance pkg.And of course the ecoboost engine(love that engine) The guy quoted me a great price on my old 17 f-150 for a trade,but I will likely keep that truck for trapping. A toyota tacoma was almost 7g more than the ford,lol A f-150 was 8g more than the ranger. I got several options/upgrades thrown it for no extra cost in the deal.Tire upgrade,spray in bedliner and trailer tow pkg. I have dealt with this guy for a couple decades.

A colorado is for those who cant afford a silverado. I dont care for Dodge or Chev. Drove them (beat them up) on the Railroad. Fords were most reliable and tough in my experience.
