Posted my order R650. Dealer said they couldn't put my email against the order, so I'm basically having to rely on them for updates. No actual order #, just that order code was provided...feels off to me?
The order code is your order number, usually a few letters and numbers long. Should be 4 characters total, mine for example is J005. You can't really track much of anything until you have a VIN to go along with it though, so once they get that (I just waited 3 weeks to email my dealer and they had it by then) you can use the order number and VIN to track it on Ford's website here, or some of the other tools like this one.

Edit: duh, just realized you had the order code right in your post... So you have half of it - once you get the VIN from them you'll be all set to track the order yourself.

got the eta date 1990 -01-01 , I guess they are mad we want our vehicles , the deposit , might just go looked at a dodge ram they might just have one on the lot .
Order 3/3/2021
Blend 04/21/2021
Dealer delivery date 05/19/2021
No news of if the truck was ever started or a projection date would help , but Ford is saying nothing , I understand there are many waiting longer but why are they producing a newer vehicle before settling with those that are willing to buy American , now there best selling truck could go away with this failure , very sad way to treat customers.

I've got a blend date of 5/23 which is a Sunday. Does Dearborn assemble the trucks 7 days a week?

I also had my ETA change from 6/19 to N/A (1990 in the raw code). Did anyone else get this the week of scheduled build yet everything still went on schedule?

In the 5/17 build week thread there do appear to be some who have progressed to built and are on their way, so yes, it does seem like things are moving along for at least some people.
I’ve seen the ETA come and go as well, so I wouldn’t worry too much about that yet. Sometimes it’ll say nothing, other times it shows a date.

They do indeed, normal production is 3 shifts per day, 7 days per week, if they are open, they'll be open 7 days, but they do have some weeks coming up that are down to 2 or 1 shifts

So after a week of prodding a few dealers as well as Ford I have come to this conclusion. My order date 1/15 Production date 3/24 Delivery 4/17 Status in production today. I finally heard from a Ford rep that my truck would not be delivered until the end of June or early July. The BS Ford has been feeding that customer orders were going to be prepared and shipped before dealer inventory is nothing but lip service. A truck arrived at my local dealer identical to my order this week. Based on the VIN it was ordered 3/10. The dealer will not allow me to take this truck. I looked around and several of the metro dealers are also receiving inventory of trucks equipped similar to or identical to mine. ALL of them have a ADM of $2500 -5K over MSRP. Here is my opinion. Ford could care less about their customers. They are trying to appease their dealers. This advance delivery of vehicles to the dealer allows them to rape customers for a few months to try and make up for the losses they have faced with no inventory for the last few months. I don't know about you but I think this is really bad customer service. Sorry for the bad news but I wouldn't look for your ordered trucks any time soon.

Exactly what I have been seeing.
Extreme corporate greed.

Which is precisely why I'm on the edge of my seat contemplating ditching my order and waiting until September to order a 2022 Silverado Trail Boss. I've been a GM guy my whole life, but admittedly had a damn good 2007 F-150 XLT. And I really like my Ford dealer personally. But.... it's also a business decision.

I'm seeing "stock" orders ordered around the date of mine and after mine (2/15) and build dates around and after mine (3/14 blend, 3/16 produced) getting delivered to dealers within a 60 mile radius from me. What's up with that ? Mine is still stuck on a 4/16 delivery date to my dealer. Visibility is still saying "produced" and "waiting update". Way to go Ford.

You can go here or here and enter with your VIN and order number see what sort of status it's in. If you have s window sticker that means it's either very close to production or has already been produced.

Ordered: 4/12
Estimate built: 05/13/21
Priority: 10
Plant: Dearborn
Blend: 05/13/21
Status: In Production
ETA: 06/09/21
Order: 2021 Platinum Supercrew 5.5FT, Iconic Silver, 3.5 Powerboost, Twin Panel, Pro Power 7.2KW, Work Surface, Max Tow, Trailer Mirror, Off-Road

Hoping this moves from "In Production" to shipping pretty quick!

Been checking the window sticker, tracker and palsapp way too much.

Since the tracker shows the status as "In Production" and the palsapp shows the status as "pending" does that mean the truck is likely sitting on a lot waiting for a chip?

The window sticker shows ramp one as RA68 and method of transport as rail.

I’m in the same boat as you. I ordered 1 day later, was built on 5/19, and am now anxiously awaiting the move to “Built” on the tracker. I had an ETA of 6/14, but the day after my blend date, when it changed the “In Production” status to show a date of 5/20 and my window sticker got updated, it moved the ETA to 6/24.

Order submitted : 2021-02-16
Truck Built : 2021-04-25

Yesterday went to look to see if my window sticker was updated and it's no longer available for view.
Original Delivery to Dealer was scheduled for 2021-05-22.
Now showing 2021-08-20...

I now need to purchase my expired Jeep lease so I continue to have a vehicle to drive.
This situation has gotten fucking stupid, and the fact that I continue to see trucks arriving at local dealerships with build dates later than mine with similar builds is infuriating.

At this point I may just say fuck it, and re-order, or wait to see what Toyota does with the new Tundra. Anyone around Richmond VA looking for a still in the box Retrax Pro XR?

Yep
I have been lied to or misled by a couple Ford folks I considered friends. My order date was 1/15. I have seen at least 5 trucks basically the same as mine arrive at local dealers for inventory. All are being sold for thousands over MSRP. I was able to find out at least 2 were ordered by the dealers after 3/1. Ford is playing its loyal customers like fiddles. I have driven a F150 since 1977 but I am about to forget my order and go buy a Tundra.
