...just transferring over from the 6/14 club: Chip at Granger notified me I've been re-set to 6/23/2021.

Here's what I know:

• 4/2/2021: Ordered, w/ $500 deposit on credit card;
• 4/17/2021: VIN received from Dealer (also, advised Scheduled build week is 6/14/2021);
• 6/11/2021 Dealer emailed to say "Build date was moved to June 23rd. Ford has cut off the orders for 2021s at this point (except Tremor and Raptor models only) and I'm told they're allowing all the overtime the plant workers want to get the 21's on the road asap."
• 6/15/2021: All pertinent trackers updated from "in order processing" to "in production."
  
  Monroney available for downloading, showing Blend Date "220210623" (matching build date reported by Dealer); Ramp One box on sticker shows "RL6R" {yippee, Not the dreaded "Ramp 59"}!!

Build Details:
Dearborn Loaded Lariat Chrome 502A, 4x4 SuperCrew 157" Powerboost Hybrid, Antimatter Blue, Power Running Boards, Co-Pilot Prep., Active Park Assist, Moonroof, 7.2kW Pro Power, Work Surface, Trailer Tow, Trailer Mirrors, Unleashed, Power Tailgate, 20" Chrome wheels, Wheel well liner.



P.S. Granger Ford has been fabulous!!! None of the local dealers (I checked 'em all!), including CostcoAuto, would do anything the least bit favorable on a custom-order truck ~ugh! Even when I showed Granger's build sheet to each and every one ~~ they would not budge one iota!...
just startin' to plan my little jaunt to Iowa, maybe mid-July (hopin'!!).

Dumb question, what is the blend date?

Blend date is the day they put all the parts on the line to build your truck. Then the truck should get built in the next day or two.

Thanks for info. I just see it is switched to “in production” and I now have my window sticker. I feel like a kid during Christmas. I hope it continues through without too many stoppages.

I too am in the Christmas spirit ? Maybe I’ll put the tree back up. Haha

Good luck to you! I’m scheduled for next week… Hopefully no delays.

My blend date is 220210624, which I now learned is a June 24 build date or around that date. Fingers crossed.

Your blend date is at the very bottom right side of the Window sticker. It is numbers 2- 9 of the 13 digit number.
Edit: just saw you post of the date.

On the bottom right it is 2202106240622. June 24th??

Numbers 2 -9, so your blend date is 2021/06/24. The 0622 is just the order of parts going on the line. It doesn't mean much it rotates from 0001 to 9999 and can rollover to 0001 any time they hit 9999

Status updated today and for the first time a window sticker became available, ?. I am now in this club. Being a reschedule after reopening my hope is they have what they need to make it through.

KC build ordered 3/27… blend date of 6/26. Fingers crossed everything runs smooth for the next few weeks.

Welcome to this ever growing club! Hopefully no more shutdowns are in order and they sail through!!

I also ordered from Chip at Granger. That is good news as I suspect the trucks will be together in production line and on transport to IA. Maybe this was done to speed up the process. At least I can hope.

I’m with you… You would think Ford has spent the last couple weeks if not months of planning for the next couple build weeks. This is hopefully like a fresh start for them and they should know exactly how many chips they have vs how many they need.

Our build week is coming up fast! Few more days, WHO's EXCITED????
