01/10/22 Build Week Club

[Ryan091]

That’s frustrating!
I think that our trucks are parked wayyyyy in the back behind later blend dates which means we’re at the back of the line. This whole ordeal is draining

My blend date was 3/3 and dealer just emailed me saying it’s getting delivered tomorrow, only 2 hours from Dearborn.

Glad to hear that some people in this group and in other build weeks are seeing progress with their trucks. I don't think I will see my truck any time soon. I called Ford Canada on Mar. 3 and was told that my truck is still on hold but has delivery ETA between Apr. 27 and May 3. About a week later my dealer told me that my truck is finished and waiting to be shipped but there's no delivery ETA. Today I called Ford Canada again and was told that my truck is still on hold and the Apr. 27 date is when it's supposed to go back to the factory to have the missing chips installed.
I'm not sure what to believe at this point but I pretty much gave up hope of seeing my truck before the summer

The rail car holding my truck arrived in Toronto on March 18th as per the CSX telephone service. Im
Only a 2hr drive from the rail yard. This truck could potentially land this week.

This is great news! What was your blend date? You are the 1st tremor I’ve seen from the group that’s expecting delivery, that gives me hope for mine especially since I’m in Toronto as well. What is your dealer?

Was just passing by a Ford dealer in Edmonton, decided to check out their listings online as a Tremor came on to their lot. Assuming I have the correct one on their website, it is in the same build week as ours, blend date Jan 13.
Some hope, but then again, everything I look at shows my truck still waiting... something really odd too, https://ordertrack.app/# says my truck is going on convoy rather than rail... whereas the sticker says rail. Not sure if it goes on a convoy before getting on a railcar or what? But that would be a long drive to Edmonton on convoy lol

Im out in BC and mine says rail on my sticker but the same tracking site says convoy as well.. who knows
It’s tough to see that a tremor made it to Edmonton that has the exact same blend date as I did and mine is still on hold…

Finally picked up the truck yesterday (March 21). All I can say is that it's a huge upgrade from the 2017 300A I traded in. Loved the old truck but the technology is crazy in the 2022, even with it only being a 302A. I haven't played with it much but the Auto high beams, lane keeping and all that jazz is very sweet. The neatest feature so far happens when you leave it in drive, undo your seatbelt and open the drivers door, the column shifter switches automatically into park.. Not sure how often that will be needed but it's cool nonetheless and its weird seeing it move on its own.

I've added a couple pictures, for anyone interested. Also took a picture of a weird hook thing that is located below the temperature controls. Salesman and I couldn't figure out what it is. He said that its new to the 22's because the 21's had a plug in that spot. This was the first 22 they've got in with the bench seat and not the console. He mentioned that it might be related to the FITS (Ford Integrated Tether System) found in the Maverick. After staring at it I think it might be something to hold sunglasses, not sure. Any ideas from the group?

Color is Stone Grey, had the Caribou before and it's very similar, just a tad lighter. My wife thought it was the same truck until she got in

Hope everyone gets theirs soon.

I wonder if it automatically shifts to Park if the vehicle is in reverse and the door is opened? It would reduce the # of videos of trucks going into the water at the boat ramp!!

I thought I would provide a little update of the 44 Trucks I'm tracking for Build Weeks 1/10, 1/17, and 1/24. Also, 11 Trucks for weeks after 1/24 specific to my dealer were tracked.

Of the 44 Trucks for the Chip Hold weeks, 3 were Built, Shipped, & Delivered in February and 11 were Built so far in March. Of the 11 Built in March, 6 have shipped and 1 has been delivered.

Regarding the 11 Trucks with Build weeks after 1/24, all 11 have been Built, 10 have been shipped, and 7 have been delivered. The 1 that has not been shipped is a Tremor with a Built date of 3/9.

Not really exciting news for us, but better than nothing. For those waiting for Trucks with Build Dates right after us, it looks like they are better off.

The Good news I guess is that for the Trucks going to the Maryland, DC, & Virginia area, most Trucks are shipped fairly quickly after they are Built and are delivered to the dealer within 15 days of the Built date.

I'll test it out and get back to you on that..

The ordertrack.app website states my truck is in transit. How accurate is that website?
Thanks.

That is to hold the phone charging cord so its not flopping around everywhere. Phone on shelf, cord wrapped around hook and plugged in usb port.

I just tested it out while backing into the driveway. Left the vehicle in reverse, took off seat belt and opened the drivers door. The shifter did switch into Park all on its own. I have the shifter on the column so I don't know if this behavior would be the same for trucks with the console shifter. It's probably not going to get much use but nice to know its there just in case. All those videos were Dodge owners anyway right?

Well, I don't think it really matters. Now we know that the Ford F-150 is smarter than those trucks and owners.

This calls for a new Youtube video at the boat ramp

Well, I got the dreaded delay email also. Looks like the crossed fingers didn't work too well.
