01/17/2022 Build Week Group

[Jaybird2022]

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.

Do you work at ford? Tracker hasn’t been working for me. Been stuck in production since 1/18.

No just a regular buyer waiting patiently.

I've not kept up on which PowerBoost trucks have been shipped in the January "chip hold" weeks. Perhaps @stans2000 might be able to answer. But I'm wondering if those PB trucks (like mine) might be on hold because of a defective heat exchanger. Reading through this thread ... especially when you get to the later pages...a supplier change (?), a huge part backlog and even one owner offered a buyback. Maybe Dearborn is holding PBs to exchange parts, thus avoiding a potential recall.

Or maybe I just have too much time on my hands.

Better to have some sort of info than nothing like they don’t like me.

You're preaching to the choir..lol. I've not been in the tracker for 2 weeks. Dealer texts "chip hold" with zero other info.

My dealer just received an XLT PB with a 1/13 blend. I hope our hybrids aren’t being held extra long.

Don’t know it’s so much held by hybrids. Mine is a regular 3.5 and I’m MIA too

I thought that was weird too with you not being a pb.

Maybe something to do with max tow package? Only think I really noticed is not as many trucks built have it, just regular tow pack

I have a 5.0 and just regular tow pack. No rhyme or reason to any of this. I think the Ford employees are just waiting for spring to warm up before they go out and get our trucks from the lot. Much nicer to stay inside where it is warm and build additional new trucks instead of taking care of already built units.

I was thinking the same thing earlier today.

A few more PB's getting delivered to a local dealer. They have the Max Tow package (Blend of 1/15) but none have the "Ford Co-Pilot Active 2.0" or Blue cruise. Could this be the hold up? Who knows.

Put Money down on a 22 Powerboost, Can't wait. Ford confirmed the build week was that of 1/17. Chip hold. Platinum 701A with Max Tow

Don't bother. I've had mine for a month.
