Well only 2 of us have made it through. Since my google sheets doesn’t work anymore I would say there is at least 15 of us. Nobody has made it out since @Moc cock 8 had his built. I’m sure the others will chime in to let us know

It looks like they are going backwards on finishing these trucks. We are way back. I have seen trucks up to 8/22 build week been done. I know 8/15 build week is just like us. They are not getting done also. Would like to see some trucks get done in the 8/8-8/15 build weeks get done. 8/1 has a lot of trucks done also. Think they may have 1 or 2 left

Same. And I have seen the same regarding builds at my local dealerships with blends much later than our week.

I think Ford's management of inventory/scheduling is just in shambles still. As someone in a manufacturing business, it's seems like they have compounded issues by not setting themselves up for success by properly coordinating material, having multiple sources for parts, and then scheduling and building vehicles that can't be completed - also having no plan for completing those unfinished vehicles. Typically, materials are handled in a "first in, first out" manner, but obviously that's not the case for our orders.

LOL, I also work in manufacturing, and I just thought this yesterday - FIFO, where the hell is their FIFO......

Left a message for my dealers sales manager to see if he can find any info out what so ever on a true date. My salesman never has anything to give me so maybe this manager will.

How many trucks has Ford built since 09 Aug and they can't find one fucking IP cluster for my truck

Woah that's cool info. Where did you get that?

 

[BigDealBP]

So don't know how much this is smoke or if it is real information. Sales manager said he has the title for the vehicle now. Said usually they don't release the title to him until it's ready to be sent over. Said may just be a week or two more to ship. Tracker doesn't have any updates. Has anyone heard of something like this before so I know if I'm being smoke screened or not?

Still waiting here as well. Nothing new since blend date. Modules sitting at <1k. Salesman called out of the blue the other day saying he is in the dark as well. I haven't pushed or prodded anywhere because I can read from all these forums that it doesn't get the ball moving forward whatsoever. Frustrated. I've also looked at other brands, used lots, etc. However, I still don't like the other brands and I have the X plan discount before these price increases. Wish I had the zero percent though because this 4+% financing sucks. I live in SW Michigan. Any good financing options out there?

Ford is offering 2.9% right now.

Ford is offering 2.9% right now.

Is that regardless of dealership because my salesman just told me a couple days ago that the best he could do (credit pull pending) was 4%.

Anyone know if the tracker is working correctly? Last I checked was 60+ days in production.. When I check modules I'm still not populating a list of any modules being attached to my VIN.

About to reach out to Granger to get an updated VVR. *Edit-New dates are 10/17-10-23*
