Hello all. I am all the way out here in Oregon along the Columbia River. I placed my reservation in May of 2021 and passed on my first opportunity to order later that summer, and Ford let me carry the reservation over to this year. In August I received an email from Ford letting me know I could place an order. I took that opportunity and paid the deposit and figured that I could wait until 2023 or 2024 to receive it. Much to my surprise at the beginning of October, I get an email saying that the build date was scheduled for the week of 10/31/2022. It actually started a week earlier than that. The second week of November received an email that would be delivered first week of December and they were pretty spot on. I had a phone call from my cousin-in-law, who is a salesman at the local dealership, on 12/2/2022 that it had just been unloaded. That was crazy fast and I don't think I am fully ready for an almost $80,000 pickup. So that is my story. I am enjoying driving, it, am also noticing the cold weather range impact, but we shall see!

Congratulations! Hi, fellow Oregonian 👋 I, too, was surprised when I got one early. Decided to bite the bullet and go for it. Really happy with the SR and its pricing (especially now that they’ve increased again). I see about a 25% drop in range right now, but we don’t go long distances often so it’s totally manageable for the price. Wave to me on the road if you drive by.
