7 Most Asked Questions about Truck Ordering

The Ford F-150 is not only the best-selling pickup truck in the United States, but the Ford F-Series also tops the sales charts for all vehicles. For the 2023 model year, Ford commemorates the 75th anniversary of the F-Series with a throwback F-150 Heritage Edition model as well as another new package, the Rattler! At BK Ford, we’re excited to share the ins and outs of ordering your 2023 Ford F-150 and answer some common questions. 

First, let’s get down to a look at what’s new about the 2023 F-150. The 2023 F-150 is still the same great F-150 that America knows and loves, but there are some exciting new options that set the 2023 apart from prior years, including:

• The All-New 2023 F-150 Raptor R with a 700-horsepower 5.2-liter supercharged V-8 making it the most powerful Raptor ever!
• The 2023 F-150 Tremor now comes standard with a 5.0-liter V-8 
• The Rattler off-road package
• The Heritage Edition package
• NEW Exterior colors: 
  • Area 51 Blue
  • Avalanche
  • Azure Gray Metallic 
  • Hot Pepper Red 

If you want to be one of the first people to get your hands on a 2023 F-150 then we recommend ordering it now. We know that can seem like a big commitment, so here are the seven most asked questions about ordering answered:

Why should I order my truck? 

The car industry, like most industries, has rapidly changed due to COVID and the availability of parts. Most dealerships are unable to obtain more than 1/10th of their pre-Covid inventory. There simply are not enough new vehicles being produced to meet the demand. In our expert opinion, if you are considering a new truck or SUV in the next 9 weeks to 9 months (or longer) you should order it now. Ordering your vehicle now ensures you get exactly what you want and allows you to lock in lower pricing.

Do I need to leave a deposit?

No. At BK Ford, we don’t require a deposit to custom order your vehicle. We simply request that if you change your mind when the vehicle arrives that you inform us in writing.

Is there an additional cost to custom ordering?

No. In most instances our customers that have custom ordered their vehicles receive better pricing due to the Ford incentives offered for custom ordering. 

How long will it take for my vehicle to be produced?

Production and delivery timing varies depending on configuration and order submission date. We expect to receive our first 2023 F-150’s in early November. Delivery typically takes 3-4 months on most models but higher trims and special packages will take longer to produce. Once Ford schedules your order for production, you will receive an email and be able to track your F-150’s production and delivery progress with the online ordering tool (just like ordering a pizza).

How can I start my custom order today?

Submit your request by completing the Form on our  “Start Your Custom Order” page and include vehicle preferences in the comments section. A Sales Consultant will contact you to discuss your needs and help you build your vehicle. At this time, the Ford Build and Price tool is not available for 2023 models. 

Can I build my Truck online?

At this time, the Ford Build and Price tool is not available for 2023 models. If you would like to build a 2022 model and play with colors, features, and options we highly encourage it. Please note, the pricing along with some colors and features have changed on the 2023 model lines. Please contact a sales consultant for help and to answer any questions. 

What happens if I don’t want the truck when it arrives?

We understand that life can change drastically in 9 months. If you have a baby, get married, move, change jobs, have an accident, buy a house, crash a car, adopt a puppy or maybe you simply change your mind you don’t have to buy the truck. We simply ask that you inform us in writing about your change in plans. 

When you are ready to order your next truck, give us a call or complete the form online. We look forward to helping you build the perfect 2023 F-150.
