11/21/22 - Build Week - MY 23

[J17GT]

I haven't been watching for invoice date changes but when I checked today, it had changed from 11/18/2022 (as it was when I printed it before marching into my dealer to gripe about the surprise heated steering wheel removal) to 12/16/2022. I still have the blend date of 20221127 on the sticker. My order (PB, platinum) has supposedly been sitting in Dearborn, built as of 12/4, trying to hitch a ride to New Mexico.

I suppose that invoicing the dealer more than a month before you ship the thing is not cool?

One thing makes me wonder, though, about that word "built". Is anyone else still short as-built data, on a truck that has been "built" for a while now? I've been downloading mine as part of my morning check-on-the-truck ritual. AFAICT this trim should have something like 1800 data records, and mine has been sitting at 1136 since two days after its blend date.

I tried Ford Chat yesterday. They were willing to tell me what I could read on the status page and refer me to my dealer, who last put my ETA at January 9.

I think my invoice date was originally 11/17 with a 11/23 blend. Invoice date now shows 12/9 as I mentioned, but no blend on the sticker any longer.

My module count has been at 1039 since the the blend date and 'built' communication. Has not changed since.

I'm hoping with a more recent invoice date means they have intention of shipping the truck sooner than later.

Have you tried using the direct window sticker link below? Mine has not worked on the Ford Tracker site in weeks. Put your VIN number after the =

HEY!!! Thanks. that worked. whew!

and they dropped the price, a reflection of removing the $1495 for the 20" wheels.

but my blend date is gone now too

Ah! OK! So it's not just me. ? Yes, good to see the price drop with the $1495 20" sport package wheels included (as they stated on the build & price website).

What is your invoice date now ?

weirdly similar to yours. I wonder if the 6 digit number was a filing order

Yeah, probably some processing / sequence number of some sort. Hopefully Ford is trying to get our build week trucks shipped out the door.

I tried to activate my FP today and got the following message.

Sorry there was an error and we were unable to complete your request to change authorization rights on the Lariat. please try again latter.

Does this mean someone already activated it?

Could be because the truck is in 'shipping mode' so it isn't fully 'alive' at this time? Just a guess, but I do believe there is some shipping/transport mode the trucks are put in so some of the systems are asleep or not active.

I have not tried to activate mine.

I soo hope your right. Not too concerned about it. Just wanted to make sure the damn thing was actually built. Also would be nice to be able to see it on a MAP to see it's progress. but that means someone would need to accept it

Truck Driver dropped off my truck from Granger last night! For those of you shipping Montway has been decent to deal with.

 

[jpsmitty16]

Tracker says built. VRR form Granger says awaiting shipping and Ford chat confirmed the same:

Where did you get this detailed production/shipping info?

 

[evlop11]

Where did you get this detailed production/shipping info?

From the dealer. Not sure who you ordered with. With Granger I’ve been getting the VRR every time I asked for an update.

 

[J17GT]

Where did you get this detailed production/shipping info?

As mentioned, the dealer provided it the one time I reached out for an update. Still waiting on that shipping confirmation...

 

[F150 hopefull]

Still no shipment. grrr

and my 20 year old ranger is now starting to have issues. leaking break fluid from the left rear drum.

need my 150 order soon, really don't want to fix it during the winter when everything is cold as fuk

 

[J17GT]

Still no shipment. grrr

Same deal here... with this winter storm coming, they'll be under a foot or so of snow by the end of the week. Awesome.
