05/09/22 Build week

[kevdog0710]

Thanks for the support.

I really think there's something to be said about being in it with others even if you're having a hard time. I don't like seeing anyone, even those who ordered last month on a chip hold now, but folks @Mixxfixx and @Moy really need our support with whatever decision they make, props to @Moy for rocking what is probably a collectors item at this point!

I've updated the sheet, I really hope the sheets start to fill with more green in the coming days/weeks and Ford is really trying better to deliver us our completed trucks.

Misery does love company!
I remember you when I first joined this forum in February. I remember thinking this dude is nuts and has terrible luck when you joined and left the 3/28 build week. I also remember thinking it was f'ed i would get my truck before you, but thats not gonna happen! Congrats on sticking with it, cant wait for your driveway picks

YaaHoo @JohnMcClane showing "shipped" !!!

I'm not there yet, but Order Track shows the "awaiting shipment" status changed from "picked" to "paired" late today, so I'm cautiously optimistic about my KC-build hitting the road to Granger soon.

I think you and I will have our trucks on the same semi!

I was actually wondering the same thing, wondering if Ford is trying to fill a Granger Semi.

There’s also a placeholder listing on my dealer’s website for a new delivery with my Truck’s VIN. Amusing to see a $6X,XXX price tag paired with a stock photo for a base regular cab XL.

Funny, I checked my dealer's site and found the same thing. The dealer is advertising for less than MSRP. My guess is it does two things - makes inventory look bigger, and on the chance I don't take the truck it goes into inventory. I bet they already have a few names lined up to take it.

Finally showing as built. Now it says the shipping could take a few days to a week. Not quite 4 months like the first email said

I tried to buy a lot truck from Granger since my ETA went MIA or into the fall. They wouldn't honor my A-plan (figured maybe they would since they do order outs at 5% under invoice and get a kickback on A-plan). Instead they said no programs and MSRP or above. I quickly declined and found 2 other dealers ready to sell me a lot truck for A-plan.

So what is the timeline after it is shipped? is it still mid June or will it just show up in a week and you will get a call? is there tracking information? I want to sell my raptor private sell before my truck arrives but not too soon.

Hi all, been lurking since ordering on Jan 29th. I had my production week on 5/9, blend date 5/12 and website showing in production as of 5/13. I still show in production, was wondering how you can tell if you are on a parts hold? I ordered a 2022 Lariat with 501A group, so nothing (I don't think) extra that would hold it beyond a normal build. Thanks!

I have a 501A lariat built and on hold as well. 3.5 EB, moonroof, max tow, sport. You have more options than me. 63k vs 69k msrp. I figured ordering a truck with no "technology" would get me threw the process. It was a rapid backfire.

Now we wait until the Fall as it sits in a field.

I see in your tag line you are on hold until Sept. FFS. Did you have to call them to find out about the hold? Did they tell you specifically what you are on hold for chip wise? Like which feature it was related to? Thanks again.

I see that the three of us have the Max Tow and wonder if that is becoming an issue.

My cousin works for ford as an F150 engineer. He keeps track for me. He told me when it went into official microchip hold (that's what is says on his data) and the ETA date of 9/27. But he also said these dates should be taken with a grain of salt.

He mentioned that it looked like my truck was missing something with the wipers, most likely wiper motors. From what he could decipher from the end of production data and what was missing from it. But honestly it cannot be pin-pointed for sure.

Ford chat gives me different answers every day. Yesterday the lady said chip hold with no ETA. Its a fun game every day!

 

[JohnMcClane]

Mine had Max Tow, but I'm a KC truck and it seems like KC trucks are all shipped at this point.

I'm not sure what would hold up the max tow when it is actually built and rolling. The coolers need to be on the truck when it leave the assembly line, the thicker frame is already installed, the rear end has to be in the truck to roll off the line, the gas tank has to be installed to roll off the line, the upgraded trailer hitch is the only thing i could think of that would hold up a Max tow package?

Anyone have any other ideas of Max-Tow that could hold it up?
