01/03/22 Build Week

[kb2755]

I’m extremely late to this thread, but can I get added for tracking as well?

I ordered 11-04-21, XLT 302a 4x4 Powerboost through Granger Ford. VIN is 1FTFW1ED7NFA49016. My build date was 01-06-22, and like everyone else, the delivery date has been pushed multiple times. The latest date is now 02-25-22.

Here’s hoping we all get these trucks soon! I really want to get my financing done before interest rates go up.

I’ll add you today. Any other updates from anyone?

no real updates.

I did get this email back from Jack Cooper Transportation that basically says "yeah, not our problem"

Good Evening,

Unfortunately, per our contracts with the vehicle manufacturers, we are unable to give out ETAs, vehicle status, or transport times to end customers. All shipping updates must go through the dealer that ordered the vehicle.

In this case however they would want to reach out to their Dealer Business Center or Business Contact as it has not shipped yet.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

And now the Ford Tracking site isn't working either, so I have no idea what's going on.

Well, apparently mine was delivered today! I still haven't heard anything from Granger, but hopefully I'll be flying out there soon to pick it up.

Congratulations!

I checked mine just now and the expected delivery date jumped to 02/27.

3 weeks after shipping, my truck has moved about an hour north to Oakwood, MI. Supposedly it shipped out again yesterday with a new expected delivery of 3/5

 

[thudnblunder]

I called Ford customer service earlier today to ask. Still hasn't shipped from Dearborn but expecting a delivery between 2/22-2/27 to Granger.

I asked how could it possibly reach Granger in the next 4 days if it hasn't even shipped yet and they had no answer.

As a first time Ford buyer, this isn't giving me any warm fuzzies about what post sales customer service will be like. I understand the delays from logistics, supply chain, weather, labor shortage etc. but I do not understand or excuse the piss poor communication from Ford.

And this is when they're selling a vehicle, not even supporting one.

Right there with you. My tracker hasn't worked in weeks, but it's just as well. I don't want to keep refreshing it just to see a fake ETA that gets pushed out every 5 days or so. I keep watching the dealer's deliveries, and as long as I don't see any new DRB trucks show up ahead of mine.. I won't freak out. No DRB F-150s to them in about 3 weeks. Lots of Explorers and a bunch of Mavericks recently. At least the United Road tracker stays up!

In my case Granger has been getting a bunch of DRB F-150s from later weeks, just not mine. They've got mine at the back of the lot buried under unfinished trucks I bet.

Y'all need to get a Vehicle Visibility report from your dealer. All dealers can run this report.

It should provide the complete history from initial order to where it is now.

 

[thudnblunder]

Well I got my wish. Ford emailed me that my expected delivery date is now March 14th.

“To ensure your complete satisfaction, we will require additional time before your 2022F-150 Platinum is delivered to Granger Motors, Inc.. Your vehicle’s previous estimated delivery range of February 12, 2022, and February 18, 2022, has been updated to between March 8, 2022, and March 14, 2022.

We will continue to keep you informed regarding your vehicle’s estimated time of delivery.

Thank you.”

Does anyone know if Ford keeps trucks awaiting parts in Oakdale? Can’t think of another reason they would’ve put it there for 3 weeks.

 

[4Justice]

Where we are all really going to be screwed - given we are forced to pay pretty much top dollar for unavailable trucks right now - is when they get big supplies of chips all those trucks sitting in the lots are going to flood the market and resale prices are gonna tank

 

[BCM]

oh man! that's the wrong direction. Hopefully you'll get some good news soon.

Are you sure they didn’t mean 02/27/2023 at this point?
