Mine just updated to shipped, maybe they really are moving them now.
That was quick from built to shipped. Didn’t you just move to built around Saturday. Hope mine gets shipped that quickly. Got updated today to built.

Still at 10/31. Visibility still says Produced.
Ordering in March I kind of needed by end of July for a trip to MI and then in Aug to the west coast to pick up my trailer. May be waiting further to retire.
Mine changed to built yesterday and it says 08/02 for ETA. So if yours still says in production right now, I think there's a low chance you'll get it by end of this month

Yes I think it was Saturday, I agree I was surprised to see it shipped that fast. Makes me wonder if it was really built earlier and tracker just updated Saturday.

Mine moved Built to Shipped in 3 days.
Gives me hope that’ll see my truck before the end this month.

Lol, I’m a grown damn man yet for some reason I’m like a kid on Christmas Eve waiting on delivery of this truck. FULL DISCLOSURE….I’m a lifelong GM/Chevy guy. This will be my first F-150. I wanted to do the right thing for my community & local economy so I ordered from my local Ford dealer. Made a verbal $$$ agreement & handshake (oh-oh) with salesman and ordered exactly what I wanted. LESSON LEARNED. Now, with truck expected hopefully in a matter of weeks, my local dealers GM tells me be that because of the inventory issues Ford dealers are facing, they will not be honoring my originally agreed to drive out price back in late February. They now will want $2500 OVER sticker price. Very professional I must say. I tell them I sympathize with them. I say that if I “walked in off the street today” I would understand the price metrics on a truck sitting on their lot. It’s called supply & demand. I truly do understand. But that’s not what the financial environment was at the time of my order. Anyway, we won’t know until my truck comes in but I know all the ace cards are in the dealerships hand. If I want the truck I’ve got to pay more. If I tell dealer to piss off, then the worse case scenario is the dealer gets a new F-150 to put on his lot for $2500 over window & I’ve waited 6 months for nothing. Thank God I did not sell my exist truck. Was I wrong for not putting a deposit down & signing a contract…of course. However, I’ve ordered 5 previous vehicles and ordered all but 1 of them on a handshake. NEVER was an issue. The point to this long and “whinny/tearful“ post is I agree, once you find a good dealer hang onto him.
Well said. I have two Ford dealerships near me. There's one that feel like I need to take a shower after leave them and the other, like you said, is a smaller family run, no pressure dealership. Guess which one I buy my vehicles from.....
Most dealers do in fact give me that shit taste in my mouth and i can pick them out of the crowd real quick. This is going to be my 28th Ford, plus a few other brands. I've dealt with all dealers within a 1 hour drive from me several times and would never buy from any of them again. My dealer of choice for the last 12 or so vehicles is a small rural area Family run Ford dealership. Unbelievably honest and no pressure whatsoever. Good dealers are hard to find, but if you do, keep them even if you move away from them.
I had exactly the same concerns having just ordered the truck, no deposit and getting a verbal price from my salesman before incentives, which at point of order were $500. When I picked up my truck, not only did they honor the price I was told, which was around 5000 under sticker, but now there were 2600 in incentives which I got also, they could have easily have increased the price by a couple of grand and still given me a better deal than previously agreed upon, but they held true to the initial deal. My trade was also valued at 6100 more than when it was first appraised shortly before ordering. Couldn’t be happier with the dealership. They will have my business as long as I am buying Ford vehicles.
