From what I heard it depends on what options you ordered, they are having delays on parts for some options (5th wheel hitch under bed parts was one I had heard?) so those trucks aren't getting built yet.

There are three options that are holding up a persons production, Spray in Liner, 5th wheel hitch, and auto steer. I dropped my spray in liner and 5th wheel hitch a few months back due to that. I never had auto steer as an option. I'm not in a real rush, but would like to get it by summer. It just seems there's not a lot of rhyme or reason behind the production.
I have an F350 lariat CC LB with 7.3 and 4.30 gears on order.

By auto steer are you talking about the trailer backup assist or the variable ratio steering?
 
I think it's the back up assist that includes the electric power assist steering. I didn't have that on my order so no need to drop it to speed up the process.

the platinum package comes with the back up shit but the electric steering shit was still a option when I ordered mine. I did not get the gooseneck or the spray in liner. I just got the rubber mat. I have a bed slide I will put in it and a cab high topper.

I didn't give it much thought but after you saying that I am wondering now. I didn't get the "adaptive steering" at the dealers suggestion but I think the Tow Tech package has the pro backup assist, kind of weird you can still have electric steering but not the adaptive, I guess that is the lane tracking lasers and shit.
I don't need or want the adaptive.
 
So long story but I ordered a ccsb f250 7.3 lariat with the 7.3 4.30 gears, race red, color matched bumpers, spray in liner and gooseneck kit.
That was back in october last year. Truck came in 2 weeks ago with an 8 foot bed! They screwed up my order and now it wont fit in the garage... So I had to order another one valentines day. I did buy the first one figuring I could sell it when my new one comes in, which is supposed to be built may 2nd. So if anyone wants a sweet truck it will be available soon!

That was smart I bet to keep it but that shit is making me nervous a fuel prices keep increasing, if supply gets caught up we're probably screwed.

I kinda jumped in that boat.

Ordered a Tremor in late Dec. Changed to a CCLB in Feb after getting a bigger trailer (more GVW and Fuel Tank size). But no movement and small local dealer, so who know if or when it’ll show up (don’t want a 23 if it gets updates either).

So picked up a Dodge with a 6.7, manual, dually, flatbed a couple weeks ago. I was already looking for something smaller for running errands and stuff, now add some more highway capability. I’ll trade my 19 Ram 2500 over something if I can find something.
 
Here is my truck if anyone is interested. Also got the upfitter switches, heated steering wheel and 12” screen.

STARTING at $90,815? What clowns in this clown world are paying that? Rhetorical of course, but I almost committed seppuku when I had to pay $50k in 2015.

$50k doesn't buy a NEW diesel truck in 2022 I don't think of any flavor.
Edit: I looked and a 4x4 8' bed Crew Cab Ram 2500 Tradesman with 6.7 Cummins, has a MSRP of $55,085
a 4x2 regular cab with a 6.7 has a MSRP of $52,155

I am not here to tell you what to do with your hard earned bucks but that $90k truck has EVERY option there is, diesel engine standard etc.

I am 100% sure it's not worth $90+K, but it's a much different truck than a Ram Tradesman...

I get that, and I guess if I had fuck you money, I wouldn't GAF. My truck was a 1500 with the Eco Diesel, so no it's not a fair comparison, and i was able to justify it by having my company buy it for me with the mileage reimbursement, and it worked out well, and now I have a paid for truck that still looks good, has heated and cooled seats, a sun roof, leather, etc. 158k and doing fine. But if I hadn't taken this job, I probably would have kept my 2000 F250 PSD and it would be well over 300k now.
