4/26 Build Week

[Mikeg1906]

Ordered 3/19, got VIN and build week today from the dealer. Also surprised at how relatively soon it was. I was honestly expecting more like June/July given all the delays everyone else seems to be having. Fingers crossed it happens as scheduled ?

I ordered 4/16 dealer says it's supposed to be built in June delivered August 9th but when I run the vin on the site we got here it don't say that.

Has anyone else gotten static from their dealer when trying to cancel their order? My dealer is telling me that my $1000 deposit is non refundable, but they can sell me a platinum (which is not even built yet, ETA in august) for MSRP, which is about 15k more than my xplan pricing on my lariat. They have also refused to reorder.

I could see them trying to pull this if they had done everything they were supposed to to honor the deal. The problem is not that you don't want the truck, the problem is they don't have a truck to sell you. I think it would be easy to argue the failure is on their side not yours. I think if my dealer tried to pull this on me, I would have my lawyer draft an intent to sue to the dealership and I bet they would change their mind pretty quick. It may cost you the $100 for the letter but thats better than losing $1000

It is an emotional roller coaster for sure, it’s like being in the grip of a terrible drug, some good days, some bad, but for the most part this forum and the people on here have been amazing and supportive! I am obviously excluding the posts regarding toxic mutated rat nests and locust infestations in the trucks. My name is Mark and I am a truckaholic.

Update:

Attached my CSV this time

Total trucks: 283
Trucks built before May 1st: 62
Percentage: 21.9%

Things are looking good. Since my last update 19 new trucks were delivered of those, 16! were built before May 1st.

So the percentage of trucks built before May 1st that have been delivered since my update is 84%

And the numbers for just this week are below, percentage of trucks before May 1st: 87%

Huge jump in deliveries yesterday!

Total deliveries just yesterday June 16th: 28
Before May 1st: 26
Percentage: 93%

Any coincidence that just 6 of these are 1FTEW vs the rest 1FTFW? not sure the difference?

Did a quick check it seems that all the "E"'s are blue stickers (stock) and all the "F"s are green stickers (retail customer orders).

Edit:
That just seems to be a coincidence

The E is below 7000 and the F is above 7001 gross vehicle weight.

I lumped him in with the Monday crew bc that's when his ETA changed from 10/31 to n/a. He had that disappearing window sticker issue right before his ETA update.

F150 2021 orders are no longer being accepted by plants. I have a non-refundable 1k deposit as well, so your dealer is just being as reasonable as mine. That being said, I think the spirit of the deposit was so that it would make it easier to sell a custom order to another customer should the build be abandoned. I think the circumstances of the chip extending deliveries well beyond the normal 6-8 week time frame would cause a dealer that's interested in good business refunding deposits. I hate hearing that dealers aren't refunding deposits given current circumstances. Dealers aren't having any issues selling anything in this market.

They should be able to refund deposit based on truck delivered being way over 8-12 weeks. If they can't deliver the product in original said time they should almost have to give the deposit back. When I was considering backing out my dealer basically said "no problem, we will give you your money back"

Well, for my 3/30 truck that's a bit disappointing, seems to confirm they're going backwards from 4/30, so I'm looking at August/September for sure... Thanks Ford for punishing me for ordering earlier.

My blend is 04/28 production 04/29 and no updates.

Also my dealer hasn't received a new truck for almost 2 weeks now.

This is all to be expected though. With both plants recently down, and nearly every truck built in early May already delivered, we should expect the majority of trucks being delivered now to be the ones from storage.

The positive here is that this shows waiting trucks are being completed, however, the current percentage seems meaningless. Even when we start seeing trucks being delivered in about 4 weeks that were built this week, I'm not sure what the delivery percentages will tell us, without knowing how many trucks are coming off the line.

It amazing that Dearborne has not stopped making trucks and most of us waiting had trucks being built in Kansas City Plant , , have checked new deliveries in Northern California and blend dates and productions dates are all later and getting built/delivered, glad this is my last Ford truck , never by Ford again ,

Dearborn had a 3-5 week period where it was shut down and KC was pumping out trucks left and right. It was back in January/February I believe. We all felt the same thing you are now. It sucks to see one plant running continuously and the other limping along. Hopefully with KC back up your truck will get built and not stuck in purgatory like many of us here.
