I don't want to add to your stress but I got 5.5ft bed on my '20 after having '16 with 6.5ft bed, I have regretted it most days since I have had the truck. When the opportunity arose to trade in my '20 for basically what we paid for it a year earlier I jumped at it. So I am still waiting for essentially the same spec truck but 6.5ft bed.
Yeah, definitely just added to my stress...lol! I've given them all the info on my '20, and just waiting for an appraisal. Part of me hopes they make the decision easy for me, and part of me just wants to have the whole truck saga over with. I need a truck within about 3 weeks from now, as I don't want to rack up another 4-5k miles on my '20. There are some regular 3.5's out there with 6.5' beds with 2kW generators, but I think ditching the Powerboost and 7.2 would be a much bigger regret.

I know Ford is still shipping trucks.... How is it no one in this group is seeing movement on their trucks? I see trucks in the build weeks after ours getting delivered! Come on FORD! You have me typing in all caps.

Well, finally got a response from my dealer. Vvr does show chip hold. They said sometimes the trucks just show up too tho.

I'll update again whenever the tracker updates.
chip hold is removed from my VVR, buddy at ford checked and send me a pic.

That's fantastic news. Hoping some of you guys start seeing delivery dates very soon.

Has your public tracker status changed to "built"?

Mind sharing that picture to compare and eyeball anticipated delivery dates?

Went by my dealer to ask about the chip hold. They had this on the lot and I'm pretty sure it was built after mine. They offered to let me buy this one and they would keep mine when it came in LOL. Short box, no B&O Unleashed and no max tow. I'm guessing the max tow has the missing chips. I'm happy waiting especially with the +$3000 "market adjustment".

Im getting a system error on the Ford tracking site. Hoping that's a good sign. Just for reference, I ordered the regular towing pkg, so I know that isn't holding mine up.

Max tow, tow tech, auto start/stop, powerboost... completing one truck's build over another could be due to any number of subsystems and factors.

Hoping to see some positive updates this week for us all.

By the by, what is "Vehicle theft registration" and why is it 499$. Is that a Colorado thing? Sounds fishy.
