I'm annoyed with everything I have been through with this. Nine months of being bull shited, I pass along what is provided to me, when it is provided. Certain peoples have been rude about the information I have posted. I'm just taking my personal time to pass along the information I am given...
Who said I was speaking to either? If you had read my previous post you would realize, this is coming from an FCA corporate employee that has been designated to keeping those of us that have a deposit placed on a 2017 Ecodiesel informed on the situation. In reality they have been stringing me...
I asked for an update last week and this is what I received.
" Is there any new information?

The only new info from yesterday’s meeting was re-launch was pushed from May 8 to May 15. Certification target is still the end of May."
Smoke and mirrors.

Don't think I haven't been pushing for some over the top incentives though; but really, how over the top is it? 8 months after my order, 6 months after my supposedly delivery date all of the bad press on the emissions and possible engine failures. I don't think demanding something extra for all...
So wait a second. Wouldn't you have seen a 17' if one had been built? I had a feeling FCA hasn't built any yet but if they had wouldn't you had seen at least 1?
Thanks Mark! I have been getting the horse and carrot treatment from FCA corporate. It's refreshing having someone else with tangible information rather than manufactured hyperbole as some seem so fond of. Have they mentioned anything about possible manufacturing or is it all hush hush? I will...
Gah, idk if I can handle a ford. They just seem to have such a cheap interior. Tundra is supposedly coming out with a V6 turbo diesel also. But I don't like their interior. Why can't GMC or Dodge get their act together.

I'm still cautiously optimistic. Any suggestion on a short term alternative in case I have to hold out for a 2018? I'd want to spend no more than 15k. That would reduce the bath I'd have to take.

Back on topic. In 16 days, May 8th, I will have more information. According to the FCA rep that is the tentative build date. I'm not holding my breath. My wife and I have decided to wait until then before buying a truck. I want an efficient v6 turbo diesel but I'm done waiting. Any suggestions...
Unless they offer up big incentives I'm taking my business elsewhere at this point. It would only be courteous, I'm not holding my breath. I'd take a 2018 but currently they are saying May and that would be a 2017 model. I'm not going to eat that loss so to speak.

Yep. That's part of my thinking. I typically don't care for ford but the efficiency is my major deciding factor at this point.

This is my feeling at this point. Honestly, I am starting to question the information I have been given even more than my initial doubts. I made a promise to myself that my next truck would be significantly more fuel efficient than my previous trucks. Now, I am stuck with under-powered gas V6s...
Again read forum title. Its not about your blown motor or how strongly you have feelings for this Todd guy. This is about any news on the EPA holding up production of this truck. True I have pleasantly forgotten about that guy.

If you want to see the previous conversation check my previous posts. For whatever reason it is complaining when I try to post the rest of the conversation about no more than 20 pictures in my post although there aren't any.
Ok. So he finally got back with me but not with much more information. If you follow the course of the conversation he remains consistent. My original build date according to him was "Tentatively" March, 27th. When I asked for an update on March 17th (10 days ago), he lists April 10th as the...
