05/09/22 Build week

[michaelh24]

What was your pervious ETA? Mine got pushed from 7/22 to 8/30! ??????

Previous was 7/10 - 7/16. Last time I got a delayed message like a week before shipping, this time I got it 3 days after it was supposed to arrive.

It's union. The pay is laid out right in front of them. They just re-upped the contract (which was in protest, they got what they wanted) not too long ago.

What they need to do is just let more companies come in and help until the situation is caught up. Smart thinking, problem solving solutions, doesn't go on with Ford LOL

That's a good point. There's good things for unions and bad things. Been in and around them my whole life. I've seen up in the NE section of the US have storms take out tons of people's power. They'll turn you away from helping if not union or from a different union. Crazy.

Well, this dealer, oddly enough the dealer I had ordered a Ford Maverick (that won’t be built lol), has this.
It has shipped, but not received yet. Talking to him now, hope the numbers work out. It’s same build + a couple extra options, but Carbon Grey.

Its ETA to dealer is a few days, 26th at latest assuming no issues, according the inventory specialist at dealer. Just a numbers game now, my salesman says he sees no issues with getting at least comparable numbers to my the other truck, which shall now be called Ford F150 DP (Delay Package).

Looks like my truck is just being sent to you LOL

I saw so many of my F150 with Delay Package being sent to others...built AFTER mine...makes no sense.

That is awesome, I didn't know which react to use. The "wow" for the Lada or the "laugh" that it should be the tow vehicle.
I have only seen one Lada ever in person and that was a car show in Atlanta.

It’s running great, I just don’t have a second driver so towing it was easier.

So I got an email this morning from Ford saying my truck has shipped. However, ordertrack and Ford tracking do not show it shipped. I know the Ford tracking can lag a day or two, but from what other's have said, it seems ordertrack is usually on top of things. So I wonder if it has really shipped or not. Hopefully it really has; currently shows delivery the same as yesterday, 7/28 - 8/3.

Mine did that. Got the email over night then later that day ordertrack showed it. Good news!

Like several of you, my truck was delayed yet again. I think think this is my 7th ETA push. Anyway, I was speaking to my salesperson and his inventory specialist at the dealership. They wanted to see if they could find something before I bailed on them. The inventory dude sits down to look, and happens upon an email…around 80% of his stock including customer orders is delayed! I read the email myself. Ford said they had some “priority“ orders to fulfill before fulfilling his and “other“ dealerships. Is Ford trying to lose customers? I

I doubt I could be so lucky, pretty sure Ford hates me at this point.

Maybe yours will come in the next week or so? Yours was "built" 2 weeks before mine. Maybe you are really on a chip hold, that's what I was told even though I was listed as built. My dealership said it wasn't, but the sales guy at Ford HQ said he showed it was. I haven't seen your sticker, but the main diff in our builds just on your tag is you have a powerboost, so maybe those have parts that are taking longer?

My sales team have checked and rechecked on that. Their contact at Ford has verified it’s not on any hold.

Yeah, that's what my sales team told me too and their regional sales rep at Ford told them the same thing. It was Nick Steiner at Ford who responded after I emailed Andrew Frick and said I was still showing on a chip hold. Did you ever email Andrew?

Yes, neither of them said it was on hold. I hope they would have said so if it were. One of them said they’d do whatever to get it shipped. The only change I saw after the email exchange was that the truck had a dealer stock code but got changed to customer order code. Customer codes *supposedly* have higher priority.

Maybe email them again and say WTF. That was over a month ago and I would have thought yours would ship out before mine.

I have sent them screenshots from various forums of similar builds built a month after that already shipped, with no response.
