I ordered in March with a build week of 6/14 - we shall see if that keeps. With the ongoing chip shortage + fire at the Renesas plant which makes many of the microchips for Ford, its been a tough few months.

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but there will be no F150s built during this week as per a letter to employees released today. From the Detroit Free Press: Dearborn Truck Plant, and Kansas City Assembly Plant — F-150 truck line — will be down the weeks of May 31 and June 7 and will...

Just saw that the KC plant will not re-open until the week of 6/14. At that point they will operate on a reduced schedule so some trucks are gonna get pushed out further.

Update: both the KC and the Dearborn plants will be down the weeks of 5/31 and 6/7. KC will operate on a reduced schedule 6/14. https://www.wdrb.com/in-depth/ford-to-shutter-louisville-assembly-plant-until-mid-july/article_d1dc72c0-b8c3-11eb-aba9-2f10c4127fb2.html

For everyone who is going to wait for a 2022 and do an order then - it seems the 2021 build year for an F150 is a bit more extended this year: The full 2022 production startup (job 1) is 12/6/2021. You can start ordering 2022s on 9/5/2021. With all the craziness of this year I do not expect...

I don't 100% believe that once you get a VIN you are locked. I have seen on multiple forums for Fords, the following line has been said a number of times: Dealers can change vehicle specifications for a scheduled vehicle up until the vehicle is “locked in” for production or about two weeks...

I ordered 3/15. 302A 2.7 XLT 5.5' bed w/ tow tech, dual panel roof, sport. I think you were also on the same build week as me before, so it seems like they are keeping somewhat the order of scheduling when they move it to a new week. I know Ford wants to send the KRs, Platinums and...

I know they are gearing up for MY 2021 Job 2 which I know in previous years lasted until early fall, but with the year we have been having who knows - they may be building 21s until new years eve. I know the Super Duty trucks are going to start 2022 models this summer, with the new giant Sync 4...

I was originally scheduled for a 5/29 build date, but since KC will still be shut down for that week, I have been bumped to the 6/14 build week. Who else has this week? Space White 302A XLT 2.7 V6 - "planned" build date of 6/16

I know that where I work the hardware team has already been told by one of the suppliers that there will be both parts shortages throughout 2022 and the price of new devices will be increasing. So this looks like its going to be a one two punch of paying more and receiving less.

What I am starting to see is a number of trucks that were listed on local dealers websites which had build dates in late Jan - early Feb are starting to go from 'in production' to 'in transit' in the last week. It looks like they are at least beginning to process those trucks with the missing...

This was just posted. No other news reporting this right now, so take with a grain of salt. https://fordauthority.com/2021/05/ford-dearborn-truck-plant-will-shut-down-for-two-additional-weeks/

Incase anyone hasn't heard - KC will not be operating the week of 5/24. :( Looks like many of our builds are getting pushed out yet again. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/05/semiconductor-shortage-hits-ford-bronco-suv-ranger-pickup-production.html

From my previous experiences - it usually takes a day or 2 to update. I know with my mustang it was 2 days later it went from "sent to plant" to "produced."

I picked a random one there, since I know that they have quite a few ordered trucks. Guess I made a good pick. As for the price difference, I know most trucks on the lot had a $400-$500 upcharge for 'paint and fabric protection' - they must bake it into the advertised price online as well.

The other oddity that I have been seeing are trucks that are not complete yet showing in dealer inventory. This truck shows as in stock, and at the same time the picture says "In Transit" - but according to the window sticker - it just got made. This one does have the CV2G code - so it appears...

I have been checking multiple dealers in my area who have trucks. All the trucks that are in stock / were delivered have the CV2G designation. I did run across one that was built but is stuck on Ramp 59 that was a dealer stock order. That one has a totally different number - CA43 -than the...

I think the chip shortage will continue through at least the end of 2021. Where I work our orders for devices have been cut by 40% by the manufacturer because they don't have the microchips to complete units, and they are advising us that it will be at least summer of 2022 when they can fulfill...

My dealer said that when I ordered in March the wheel well liners delays were about 8-12 weeks and the work surface had delays of about 6-8 weeks. I opted to skip those when ordering and he expects my order to arrive at the dealership at the end of June. He put in an order in Feb with the work...

Just got word my truck will be built the week of 5/24 - specifically 5/29. Ordered 3/15 and VIN'd on 4/15. Anyone else's truck getting made this week?
