Mine as well

Hopefully that means they are working on them finally

Based on my extensive research (since I have nothing better to do) the only thing that the date on the bottom means is Ford refreshed the sticker. Nothing more, nothing less and usually, but not always, is refreshed weekly until sometime between delivery and a few months after sale.

At least you guys are seeing changes. I’ve had no change on my tracker for a couple weeks when the ETD went from 2/2 to 2/28. Zero progress otherwise. And my window sticker is unchanged since the date changed from 1/20 to 1/27.

Reality sat in my friend. As much as I hate, I’m still holding out for mine. Gave them my truck back in September and the sold it within a week. Worked well for me to get a good trade value, but put me in a position now

I couldn't work out a deal for that truck. They aren't budging from $2k over MSRP. I offered them MSRP but they walked away, saying nobody is selling at MSRP unless it's a customer order (because Ford doesn't allow them to market adjust on custom orders).

I just couldn't bring myself to pay more than MSRP. There were decent discounts pre-COVID, at and below invoice, so I consider selling at MSRP to be a market adjustment. Selling over MSRP is just price gouging consumers. They had no answer other than they need to make money somehow since they can't get fleet or lot trucks. And that nobody is selling at or below MSRP for an on-the-lot vehicle.

That it could be. I just think it is weird that the date has changed for me every time there was an "update" on mine. I havent noticed mine update weekly though. Who knows at this point, as Ford seems to be drunk on our orders

If it is a weekly update that the window sticker changes, I would think your would update Thursday? Id rather have no update on mine instead of seeing the dreaded change to 5/15

Sounds like were sticking around! We are crazy to go at this point. We have waited for so long already, and we scored pretty good deals for ordering. It just sucks to wait

Oh yeah, I cringe every time I check the tracker in anticipation of an April or May delivery date.

In speaking with my dealer today, he tells me that the secondary report that they receive shows my Truck as "produced" on January 24th and that it should be on site by the end of this week, or the middle of next at the latest. They have not received any notification about a chip hold. The ford.com tracker still says May 4th and Ford Canada Customer service says May 4th as well. Who knows what to believe anymore.

As far as freight tracking, Palsapp is no longer recognizing my VIN (it used to recognize it along with an invoice #). I have never been able to get United Roads to work for me, and one of the freight companies (Cassens) that delivers to my dealer only shows me the delivery receipts for vehicles that have been delivered - VIN Tracking does not recognize my VIN for that site.

Sorry guy's, I'm just venting now! Just want this stupid thing to show up. Oh, and my window sticker has not updated since Jan 27th.

Hmm did he mean on site as in sitting on that dealers lot? My salesman is out until tomorrow, and they were going to check on it for me. If that is the case mine should be coming too. I am 2 days of build day before yours was and have less options. I dont know what to believe either
