[thechester]

@RalpL i just picked up my truck tonight and it’s awesome. Thanks for everything you do on this thread and keeping us sane. Also, the guys at granger are great.

Awesome! I've got a STX on order from Granger as well.

I think I'm gonna cry. Woke up this in my email this morning!

FWIW, my history/info is:

Ordered - 11/23/21
Blend - 1/29/2022
Original ETA - 3/12/2022
Revised ETA - 6/9/2022 (before disappearing completely)

Options I have that I've heard impact build time:

Auto stop/start (apparently didn't get removed)
Co-pilot 360 Active w/Bluecruise
Tow Technology package
B&O Unleashed
Tonneau cover (hard)

Shipping to Portland, OR, which I've heard takes about a month, normally.

I don't see you on our spreadsheet, so I'm going to add you.

Edit: Which engine did you order and are you a Kansas or Dearborn build?

I got another email from Ford this morning. The palsapp tracking is way over my head so I'll just keep my fingers crossed that it really shipped.

Talked to the sales manager at my dealer. My truck has been banished to ramp 51 in Flat Rock, MI.

Congrats to everyone getting their trucks. Keep the pictures coming (unless you have a rapid red lariat sport, I might cry if I see one of those).

I just edited the spreadsheet above in Post #1005 with your update and the shipped info for @llsjubal .

While I try to be the voice of optimism, just imagine the thousands of trucks parked all around the factories missing various modules and parts. All of them are missing whatever part(s) wasn't/weren't available on their particular build day. Perhaps ours are missing something different at Ramp 51 from the other trucks parked beside us who are missing something different from the trucks parked beside them, etc, etc, etc. What a mess! Hope Ford has some sort of matrix or something to sort it all out. Does anyone know if every single 2021 truck on chip, module or part hold was eventually finished and shipped?

3.5 EB

Finally picked it up today, and it was worth the wait. Everything about the truck is top notch and a huge step up from my 2016 XLT.

I can’t say enough about Chip and the rest of the team at Granger. The pickup was quick and painless.

I put 350 miles on today and averaged 20.8 mpg per the trip computer.

The truck is quiet on the road and it does not feel like it’s going nearly as fast as it is! The ride is smooth and comfortable.

The overall power and drive is way better than the 3.5 EB in my current truck. I’m sure some is due to the PB vs EB, but I think they have really refined the engine and transmission and it shows.

I’m still learning and getting used to Bluecruise, adaptive cruise, lane assist, CarPlay and the other features. The B&O system is good for a factory system and I’m not disappointed with it. It’s not as good as the aftermarket system in my 2016 though but I didn’t expect that it would be.

The tow mirrors still look a tad big to me (IMO the standard mirrors on the prior gen were just the right size) but the visibility they provide is excellent. I’m happy with that choice.

Here are a couple pics. The AMB and Carmelo interior is a great combo. I had not seen it in person before I ordered.

Congratulations to the few who have gotten shipping notifications recently.

And good luck to everyone else. It’s been a long road for me but worth it.

My window sticker updated today and nothing has changed which I guess isn't surprising. I am not going to bug the dealer but its looking more and more like I'm just going to end up grabbing this 2021 platinum. Dealer is taking possession of it thursday and I'll be heading down on friday to take a look at it.

Mine did too - updated today with no changes that I could discern.

Congrats! I'm from the 2/1 build week, and for what it's worth, it took my Limited 1 month to get from Dearborn to Spokane (where I live), my dealer is in Pasco however, and it was unloaded and awaiting a truck to get my truck down to Pasco. So I'm still waiting,

The truck left on a train from Dearborn on 2/10. Got to Spokane on 3/11.

I was wondering about your status - whether or not you had taken delivery yet. Should be soon - at least much sooner than many of us! Post some photos on the big day.

I'm thinking it might get to the dealer today.. that is the hope at least. I have a HS buddy who works for the railroad here in Spokane, and he sent me a picture of my truck in the lot after it was unloaded, last night he told me he didn't see the truck anymore. It's a 2.5 hour long haul drive to Pasco, so I'm hoping it's there today! Hopefully by midweek next week, I will be able to post some pics of the new dream.

It has indeed been delivered to my dealer! I received some gorgeous pictures of the Antimatter Limited, and CANNOT wait to drive down there to get it.
