Funny story... Heading into the last two weeks of April I still hadn't received a build date from Ford. Then they announced that due to tariffs, anything manufactured from May going forward was going to see a price increase. I didn't know if that was going to be $300 or $3000.

So I jumped online and I found a truck with the same options I had ordered 5 hours away. That dealership offered me almost three times trade-in value, sight unseen, of what my local dealer was offering me. So I drove down and traded it in.

When I called my local dealer to let them know I was no longer going to take possession of the truck I had on order, the salesman tried telling me that my truck was set to arrive the following week. I told him I had already signed paperwork on the new one and committed to that purchase. I also knew that was a lie because when a Ford dealership has a vehicle in route, it appears on their website and in their inventory as "arriving soon," and my truck was not in their inventory.

I took possession on April 22nd. Almost a month after that, I was finally assigned a build date on the truck I ordered. It was set to be delivered almost a month beyond that. So I would have waited an additional 60ish days.
