Hi All:
I'm another Canuk longtime lurker - first post - not encouraged by what I see here. After much waffling about what to buy I ordered a HR 148 Eco in mid August from a Toronto dealer. It seems like the Canadian ordering system is kinda like you pay yer deposit and are told to go stand in line ... and expect to wait months or years and hear nothing until the last minute. I'm in no huge hurry but am not getting my hopes up for a 2023.... I expect to be balanced out like Vanski and have to try again for a 2024... Sheesh.

Yup... we can hope that this year will be better. I guess that last year there was an Amazon fleet order that ate up a lot of production that might have gone to us little guys. I've not heard of a similar situation this year. There's no harm in being an optimist but I'm trying to set low expectations so I won't be too disappointed if things don't turn out as hoped. Cheers.

Congrats and fingers crossed for Vanski ... I guess my attitude is kinda like coguzzi... but in my case I'm beginning to think this forum is bad for my mental health.
I ordered a 2023 in August and if I hear nothing by the spring I'll buy a used "beater" and flip/sell the Transit (to the dealer?) if it ever arrives. Also like North of 40 I was under the false impression that I could make small changes to my order so long as I had no build date. But this forum suggests that making any change to my order will get me a higher price and/or Balanced Out. And... stupid me... trusting that a van will happen "someday" I bought an expensive pile of 80/20 to do a camper build ... might be putting that up for sale in the Spring.... this Ford situation is pathetic. I wonder if the Sprinter situation is better ...
