Ford did not make a mistake in not building up inventory of vehicles. What Ford is doing is very sound business from a few angles.
1. Making sure that the trucks in the factory are being built carefully ,so as to not have huge quality issues that will need to be fixed later and piss all the new owners off.
2. Making sure that when they build batches as they are ,they are being held and inspected to insure a quality product, this is a fairly complicated vehicle and things can go wrong ,and they want to insure the best that they can ,from a mass assembly standpoint. That was why the hold for a few days last week or so.
3. Due to the fact the truck has recieved all the great write ups from the journalists and media alike if you are in the market for a truck like this ,you are generally buying THIS ONE , and they can only build so many a day ,week ,month ,HENCE THE WAIT LIST. I am waiting just as impatient as all of us for mine ,but I wanted a particular color combo ,if I wanted BLK on BLK, I could have taken one off the lot ,that had an early build. I chose to have my combo and a latter build ,hoping that the few bugs there are in the early builds ,will be for the most part worked out. End of Novel.
. I guess they really were on the same truck
