I've been on plant hold for a while, I think the hold up is something to do with the powerboost, it seems these power trains are the common here. But I guess I'm just stupid for making that assumption.

Yea I was pretty surprised this morning with the built in the tracker. No email from Ford of course. But the Ford tracker says built and the App says awaiting shipment

I definitely think it’s the powerboost holding us up.

I still show in production on the tracker but the truck is now listed for sale my dealer site- anyone else?

03/22 blend status "In Production"

latest ETA/hold release was 06/04 to 06/10 from ford chat

 

[NomadV]

So the chat said that even though it’s built, the shipping eta is 7/11

Here are a couple of things that I have been told by my dealer rep that may shed light on your situation.
1. The Ford Tracker is just as likely to be wrong, as it is to be right. The dealer said they sometimes receive vehicles that still do not show as shipped in the system & even worse for them, Customers sometimes receive "delivered" emails for vehicles that have not even shipped, & those Customers go nuts when they tell them that the vehicles are not at the dealership.
2. Ford apparently invoices the dealer & transfers the vehicle into the dealership inventory at, or about, blend date & some dealers post all inventoried vehicles online, until the sale is closed. The dealer rep also said that their Customers get really upset when they see their ordered vehicle listed for sale on the dealer website, so they try to block them from showing online. This also is a big clue as to why Ford doesn't do a much better job of shipping every vehicle in a timely manner. Since Ford is invoicing dealerships off of vehicles pushed down the production line, as opposed to shipped vehicles, shipping is apparently less of a priority, than just getting them built.

My dealer rep told me today that they have multiple vehicles 10 weeks past production dates that still haven't shipped, including my Powerboost & another ICE F150 that were both built on the same day. I was told that the dealership has filed an inquiry with Ford about the delays & will keep me posted. I guess that I'll see if that turns out to be true. The funny thing is that the dealership did not seem nearly as concerned about taking care of me as a Customer, as they were about being invoiced 10 weeks ago, for vehicles that still haven't yet shipped.

ALL assumptions are valid when it comes to what is in the mind and actions of Ford. That said, I was a week 3/14 build with PB and it arrived at the dealer on 5/3. No chip hold just time for adding wheel liner/bed liner, time sitting at ramps, and time sitting at the rail yard.
