Hopefully it will have the faster chips to start up quicker?

But then it will have DEF on it too - first diesel I have had with DEF? Does Ford have issues with DEF - anyone know?

Ford sent an email yesterday about this truck - says the think it will be built the week of November 21, 2022, and also sent the VIN to me. Maybe it will arrive in December or January?

What amazes me is with all the pollution controls on diesels that the new trucks produce gobs of power. Anyone that owns a newer truck has to smile everytime they press the accelerator.

Wow! That is much better turn around time then most have been having. Still a waitn' for mine!

Thanks PulNSerenity,
Yes it is a good looking truck, the pics don't do it justice.
Yes I have a great dealer! They sold it to me for less than MSRP and could have sold it for at least 10K more but they acknowledged that they made a fair profit off the 21 2500 Custom that I traded in Dec 2021 and waited over 6 mo. for a truck that never got built.
So they did the right thing to give up some profit on this one.
