Spoke to my dealer today. In terms of delivery they have no idea whats going on. The tracker system isnt accurate. He had a vehicle show up on his lot last friday. That said it was in michigan still. So basically its a suprise whenever they show up.

Dexter just ran the VVR on my build, he is now saying to expect delivery date 4/26 to 5/02,
Blend date was 1-10 so still waiting.....

Right there with you. I honestly dont think Ford has any idea when they can ship the trucks and are just using end of April as a place holder. We will see.

Were probably the worst build week group to ask. The 01/31 build week folks are already getting their trucks or seeing progress. Most of us here are in limbo.

Are they holding them back to fix the coolant leak in the PowerBoost? Some other recall issue?

I’m in the 1/03 build week. My blend date was 1/6, got a built email on 1/27, but delivery keeps getting pushed out. Now at March 14 and the email from Ford said they’re delaying to ensure quality, whatever that means.

Final update for me since I'm finally taking delivery today! Best luck to all other that are still waiting!

I am seeing many 2022 trucks with window stickers showing blend dates of Jan. 21 and Jan. 22 from the Kansas plant showing up in Northern Ontario dealers yards. What about us from Dearborn......

Congrats. Before you go, can you give us a boost in morale?
Would be great to see pictures of your truck and hear some of your initial thoughts.

Chip hold (electronic module supply chain delays) essentially stopped all DRB built trucks from being completed and able to ship. However, all KAN-built trucks in our group have been delivered.

If Ford sends out an email saying the truck has been built and is ready to ship, wouldn't that mean being past the chip hold state?

No one in our group with a DRB-built truck has stated they've received an email that their truck has been built and is ready to ship. I know I haven't.

My Vehicle Visibility Report from the dealer says my truck was "produced" on 1/18. All that means is that it came off the main assembly line. It's parked in a lot with hundreds of other trucks waiting to get control module(s) installed before it can ship. My estimated delivery is 5/11 ... which is the latest date in our group.

Evidence that KAN-built trucks are shipping today. This is from the Palsapp site showing trucks shipped from the plant to the nearby rail yard. I had assumed they only built only lower trim levels in KAN but I know one of these VINS is a 3.5L Lariat 502A with moonroof, 360 camera, FX4, 20" wheels, Bed utility. However it does not have PowerBoost or Co-pilot ACTIVE/Blue cruise so maybe that's one of the determining factors for a DRB-built truck.

That would be in line with the Ford Canada rep who was saying on Monday that they had received the chips/parts to complete the truck but they now have to install and then ship. I am not sure why I feel I have purchased a lottery ticket, a very expensive lottery ticket!

This is the email I got, it was built in DRB. To me this sounds like this truck wasn't on a chip hold, they still bumped delivery to mid March. So something else is going on beyond the chip hold.

I have the 5.0 so that isn’t the problem. I suspect the 01/31 builds were sitting idle on the line when Ford had the shut down so they appear to have priority. It’s very frustrating and it appears we have no recourse but to just sit on our hands.
