    I complained to ford enough that they offered me any truck on the lots for one of their "plan" pricing. I couldn't find my exact truck but I got the same basic truck with a 5.0 and not the 3.5. I think I will be happy. Pick it up tomorrow and my drama is over. Good luck gents.

    This still doesn't explain why truck blended after ours are making it to dealer lots. This tells me they are prioritized the trucks on the production lines and not ones waiting for chips.

    This is just complete BS. Why FORD is choosing (And yes this is a deliberate choice) to prioritize the chips to trucks coming off the line, and not the ones sitting 1/2 done in their storage lots is beyond me. I was told by the dealer that the special orders get priority and that is the exact...

    My dealer said it would be here on the 4th. I think that is my 4th delivery date but I think I lost count. Still hopeful but not holding my breath

    I agree. I had 3 or more windows of completion. They just push it out another week. I am coming up on 7 weeks "In Production". That is not bad for some folks out here. I am not holding my breath to get this truck in the first half of 2022.

    I am at the same point. I looked hard at a toyota. I am wishing that is the route I went. This has been a horrible experience and I would rather go back to a chevy 5.3l that couldn't keep oil in it than go through this again. If the topper didn't already arrive, I would be walking away today.

    The worst part in my mind is that I am seeing trucks built on the same line DRB MI built on the same day or after sitting on dealers lots. With the same features I ordered. It is like they are prioritizing shipping for lot stock, But that doesn't make sense to me. you will get paid when mine...

    I am not even entertaining chatting with Ford. I don't know what is going one and why some trucks are getting shipped but I am right on the cusp of moving on. Trucks like mine are sitting on lot across my state (WI) but mine is stuck in limbo. Maybe I should just go buy one of those. It is...

  10. ⏱ 2022 F-150 Scheduling Next Week (5/2) For Build Week 5/23

    I ordered 1/25, built 3/24 been on hold ever since. Nothing from Ford. Dealer just says chip hold. Trucks ordered for dealer lots built after mine are showing up. This is a bad ordering system and the secrecy is making it worse. My truck will be 6 months old when I get it. Hell, maybe the...

    I am looking at trucks on lots built the week ours were. I got the 360 camera system and none that are on the lot have the 360. Maybe that is what is causing delay? If yours is delayed, did you order the 360 camera?

    Congrats. Your truck was ordered, In Production and Built all after mine and mine is still stuck for some reason. I am glad your's is move. hoping for mine to do the same.

  13. 03/21/22 Build Week Group

    I just filed a complaint. I will see if I get any offers. One thing I did notice is a local dealer has a truck pretty close to mine, made the same day, but that one is on the lot and mine is held. It's like they are prioritizing the orders to the dealers and not the orders. That doesn't seem...

    Good catch. I saw 4/16 and overlooked the rest
