Going to put down a deposit for a gen 3 this week. Any suggestions on what to look for from the dealer, or anything for that matter? Will attach the options I have selected

Good to know. Dealer is quoting me 4-5 months which I can live with. End of summer would put that at 9-10 months. Seems like a big difference for bed liner and a bed cover if thats trueYour build is looking like a delayed nightmare. Bedliner, bed cover, etc are the leading factors on delays. If you are patient then nothing to worry about. End of summer delivery at the earliest I’d say…..

Skipping out on the 37 package and doing that aftermarket with the rpg collars. Im not a fan of the blue recaros, so not a big deal losing out on them. Ill remove the bedcover, I thought that was a dealer installed part. Did you get your build for msrp? Whatd they quote you for lead time out of curiosity?Dealer's really don't know a thing about how this will all play out and really no one does thanks to the supply chain issues.
We got guys on here whose trucks are sitting in a lot in Dearborn produced in September that are waiting for fenders.
37 package alone may put you past the 4-5 month wait, it's been rumored for a while now that 37" tires are causing delays. I tend to believe it given that tires are hard to come by in general and Ford had BFG create a newly spec'd KO2 just for the 37 package. Additionally, my dealer's zone rep mentioned that Recaros were also holding up orders. Granted this was back in October before I placed my 2022 order.
Personally, I'd minimize as many factory add-ons (Bed-cover/Liner) as I could and just handle it via the aftermarket once I took delivery. In the event you go this route, search for the thread regarding aftermarket bedliner installs and the sensors in the tailgate. Let your installer know not to turn on the truck or even have the key near the truck during the install if they plan to remove the tailgate to spray it.
Pro power is also apparently causing issues as well. The biggest issue is the 37 pp. my order was submitted mid-October and I probably won’t have a build date for a couple monthsGood to know.

You honestly don't believe this do you? This isn't 1999, ford stocks enough bed covers and linex that it is no longer the problem. Bedliner spray is almost standard in every F150, don't believe the hype. The Raptors share bed covers and linex with the F150 line -- do you honestly think that a standard part wouldn't have backstock? It's like saying that they are out of glass for windows.Your build is looking like a delayed nightmare. Bedliner, bed cover, etc are the leading factors on delays.

Availability from the sounds of it. If you’re referring to the 37 package, I don't want it because of the blue seats not because its cheaper aftermarket to switch wheels/tiresAftermarket add-ons are cheaper but they're better quality ... what price, convenience?
