02/13/2023 - Build Week

[FTMS]

For those that recently got built what is the best way to check status right after 'build day'. My buidl day is supposed to be Saturday. Is that the day the truck really starts to some together and I can see modules in 'as built lookup'. Do I just need to wait a few days an email Granger to see if it sent okay?

Like what is the fasest I might see something? Thanks..

Build date won't get you anything extra to be able to see. I would expect to wait at least a week or two before hearing anything from Ford. Some are quicker than others.

I was able to see modules populate the evening of my blend date. Another indication was FordPass app showed an activation link and a picture of my truck. Otherwise, you can reach out to Granger for a status maybe a couple days after your blend date.

That's great news! Can I ask...on the Ford tracker, down below under Vehicle Details where it shows your VIN...what date is displayed for "Last Updated"?

Cool. It appears that Vehi-Ship is an actual transportation company. So I'd think you've got one foot out the door already.

My tracker hasn't been updated since 2/15.

It has the trucks current location as Dearborn AP 59 (Probably ramp 59) so hopefully it isn't there for too long.

Yeah, here's hoping! Keep us updated! I hope to see some movement on mine soon.

We are now at "built" waiting shipment.

Same here. I would have been really disappointed with that "sorry 45 days" email if I hadn't just got my new status about waiting for shipment from Granger. Seems to be moving along well.

Now that our trucks are about to get shipped, does anyone have any checklist for the delivery? I've never owned a truck before, and this will be my first truck. What do I look for when inspecting? I'm guessing I will have an opportunity to test drive before I sign the paper?

 

[Aaron34]

Well, still no update since 2/15, still In Production, but someone was just in the truck today. The denied my FordPass activation. ? Hopefully they're moving it along...

Lol, had the same thing happen to me once it reached the rail yard in KC:

Take a look at this thread. Someone put together a checklist and yes, you can and should test drive before you buy.

The tracker hasn’t updated mine since 2/19 when I was sent off-site and what’s interesting is that is the same status Ford chat gave yesterday. Even though VinView showed I was released from the hold and assigned a carrier. Makes me wonder if Ford chat is limited to the same information that feeds the tracking website.

I'm hoping I get a tracker update this Thur/Fri. Last one was 2/14. Ready to see it flip to "Built" and get an official ETA.
