Peterbilt adding surcharge after orders placed

Still waiting on the truck. Truck is built just waiting for abs ecu. Heard they cancelled all of oct, Nov and Dec builds

 

Still waiting here as well. Same build week and one a week later. Although I’m not sure what’s being waited on.

 

My sales rep told me today he can't do an order until further notice, and doesn't have any idea when in 2022 any order would be built.....

That's no way to run a railroad.

 

I am thinking by the time they get equipment built the market will have cooled off and dealers will have lots of inventory.

 

Smart man

 

I just talked to my salesman this afternoon and he said I have a firm date of 10-15. Then it will go out in the lot and wait for whatever parts it needs. He did say that some Cummins trucks are getting bumped so that makes me happy I’m getting another MX13.

 

I have a 389 X15 being built. Original built date was 10/15 then was notified a month ago it was pushed to early November. Peterbilt cancelled 50% of Rush's orders to clear up the backlog and to solve the year model issue. I'll be shocked if I take delivery by 12/31. I just want it ASAP so I can sell my truck to capitalize on these inflated used equipment values. The auction prices recently have been mind boggling.

If you need a DEF sensor there's a 3-4 month back order but at least for Cummins they are doing authorized work arounds, just not sure if they are doing that with new builds yet. I'm not sure there's a work around for the ABS sensor, I doubt there is but I'm no mechanic/engineer.
