I ordered one in January and am being told April, a few weeks ago I went to various california ford dealers and looked at inventory and thought i saw several of them (no, it didnt say ordered) but now I dont see any at all anywhere.

Guess I need to keep looking, has anyone got one yet or are they not on the street yet?

They are all over the metro detroit area (I know since I'm anxiously awaiting mine and can spot them easily). My guess is that they are selling too fast for dealers to keep an inventory.

Ok, makes sense...thanks.

I was in the LA area last week and saw 2 on I-5 on two different days. I was looking for them. (They look great on the road and the LED tail lights are impressive). I think they are selling as fast as they come in but overall there still aren't very many on the road.

My dealer was trying to sell me on this point. I had to explain the law of supply and demand. It is easy to sell out when there are not many being delivered...
 






I ordered my limited FWD,10 days ago ,and my dealer told me up front early May ,any honest dealer is quoting 10 weeks plus right now,unless they get production up to speed with demand,as quoted by the dealer zone rep.
 






I had no idea there was this issue! I went and test drove one on a Monday. The dealer had one that I liked on the lot. I drove it home on that Friday. Guess I got lucky. At the time (about 2 1/2 weeks ago), the sales assoc told me 6 weeks if I'd ordered one. Hmmm....

I haven't seen any on the road around me, but my spouse has. Guess I don't get out enough. LOL
 






My dealer had one on the lot with the same options as I ordered but different color combination, not my ideal color combo ,but it did look real sweet. It had a November build date on it ,even my dealer who I have dealt with for 15 years told me to take a pass and order ,as the early builds have many issues to deal with and from what he has seen come in the newer builds are better. I want I want but not the headache either .
 






we've had ours for about 2 months in the ATL area - have not yet passed another one on the road...
 






I see a couple around. Told my dealer I had to drive one before I orderd one. Couple days later one arrived. Drove it, loved it. Ordered it 1/24 they told me 6 to 8 weeks. This past Saturday they said it was assembled. Who knows. With all this banter on the forum I hope it shows soon.
 






Pick mine up tomorrow, from what i can see it is about as loaded as you can get but not
4 wd which is how i kept the price under $46K
