03/21/22 Build Week Group

[MJ Heat]

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.

I am genuinely happy for you, that you have received your truck. How are you liking it so far?

You may recall that I am not too far from you & that our trucks were both built about the same time with similar configurations. My truck status was "Awaiting Shipping" for the 1st 6 weeks after it was built. Then it spent 3 weeks on "Plant Hold". As of late it has toggled back & forth between the 2, on a sometimes daily basis. Today it has reached the exalted status of being both on "Plant Hold" & "Awaiting Shipping". Curiously, according to Ford, it can only be 1 or the other, & they have no explanation, as to how it shows dual status in their system, but then again, in my experience, they never can really tell you anything anyway. Not that any of this really matters. What really matters is that 10 weeks out of "Built" status, THE TRUCK STILL HAS NOT BEEN SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely no logic to anything at Ford right now. I did read where they are having delays with rail shipments (our supply chains are so messed up right now). I do love the truck. Only been able to log 600 miles but will be leaving on a LONG trip with it in the coming days. The MPG is quite impressive, I get in the 20's on every around town trip. I really love the generator. We have a Travel Trailer that we keep in a storage area, I've used the generator many times over the last week as we've been preparing it for the long trip. Discovered extra camera features today, it's great for hitching up and we've used it while driving down the highway (novelty item). I really hate that they removed some of the ambient lighting and only one 12v outlet is a bummer as I use that for trailering accessories. I waited 8 months and 3 days for this truck, so far I have to say that the wait was worth it.

This whole situation production/shipping is just so sad. Hang in there.

Does anyone know what ramp 51 is?

 

[brightjb]

I am at Ramp CH35 - every single Dearborn build my dealer has on their site comes from this ramp.

 

[NewToFord]

I tried a dozen different ways to slice and dice the builds to see what was holding things up, I could not find any common deno

So ramp 51 is where it goes to be shipped? I’m 10 mins away from the Dearborn truck plant so it doesn’t have to go far lol.

 

[Thomasjr51]

So my dealer said it’s at ramp 51 which is a staging area where carriers go to grab trucks. I’m assuming I’m off chip hold since it left Dearborn truck plant. Fingers crossed!

That’s where the chat said I have been for a few days now

Oh yeah, waiting to get shipped out. I’m thankful I live in Michigan so the shipping isn’t as bad. I don’t have to deal with any trains lol. Just a truck from ramp 51 to my dealer which is like 15 mins away.

That’s nice. Some of the other guys who bought in Vegas had it take about 9 days once it was on the train to arrival

All the delivered vehicles have these filled in at top middle of sticker next to blend date - assume its the progress of transit.

It should be filled out from printing. Mine has been the same and never changed since the week before my blend.

I known BUMP is state of delivery, so for me IA (Granger).

It looks like TRD, RAMP, and CAMP are the same on all the custom orders I've seen.

Wait, just saw this one where it was empty.

TL;DR: it doesn't tell you anything of importance.

 

[malbitz]

I complained to ford enough that they offered me any truck on the lots for one of their "plan" pricing. I couldn't find my exact truck but I got the same basic truck with a 5.0 and not the 3.5. I think I will be happy. Pick it up tomorrow and my drama is over. Good luck gents.

 

[gblakeb]

How do you track with VehiShip?

 

[Larry812]

As stated this morning my card changed to ship. Got on chat tonight they say it been delivered and I noticed ordertrackapp changed to delivered as well. Currently on vacation till next wed so I guess we will wait and see if my dealer calls me
