Can I join in this small but quality support group for this roller coaster of a process? 10/20 order, Iowa destination, Lariat powerboost, Dearborn VIN. Ordered the worksurface, but do not have any of the bedliner, wheel well liner or BAP options that folks are monitoring for delay issues. I was on a 12/13 build week and got the delay email about a week before production and now in the 1/3 production week. I've held off on adding myself to this tread for risk of jinxing my build week. Either way, I would still be happy for a Jan production to keep timing to 3-4 months from order to delivery. Also, hopefully this holiday was the last family road trip in the soon to be replaced 2009 Tahoe. Great and reliable SUV, but it is on its last leg and I'm ready for a truck again. Happy Holidays Y'all.

A nice change of pace adding someone instead of removing! Welcome! I’ll update the table by EOD

I emailed the dealer a couple of days ago. He said I was still on track for the January build date, which I assume he means is still the build week of 01/03/22.

I’d assume you have a build date (day) since we’re only 4 days away from our week. For reference here’s what mine shows since my last update from the dealer

Oddly enough, I do not. My VIN tracking returns the usual "can't be tracked yet, try later" message. I've never seen that pic you attached.

It’s from the dealer software, that’s usually what they’re looking at when you ask for info. They can select any of the orders they placed for quick at a glance status info.

I emailed my dealer again asking about a build day. His response was , "No, because it is actually in production for that week. I don't believe we can see anything of the actual assembly part of it. But as soon as it finishes and is ready to ship, Ford will send an email with more ETA dates."

So, I'm 5 days out without a blend date, build date or window sticker. This should be fun! I pray I don't wind up with a Lightning!

That’s wild. I never asked my dealer explicitly to share any of his views with me, he just shows me the screenshots from WBDO.
Here’s a video showing the full ins and outs of it:
As you can see, there’s different statuses. “Unscheduled clean”, “scheduled to week” and “scheduled to day”. Your dealer can absolutely see what day it’s scheduled for in advance.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. No idea why my sales guy doesn't offer up more details. You'd think he'd know about WBDO. We'll see what happens on Monday.

Just checked in with my dealer and I am showing a build date of 1/6. Fingers crossed it stays that way!
