On Ordertrack my vehicle status is "picked" currently. Is that how you all are seeing it too? I dont remember that being there last time I looked

Just figured out that Birmingham MO is where the vehicles get stored/staged after coming off the line

Something I hadn't realized till now was when the Ford Tracker isn't working its for the vin you're trying to see. I sat here and thought it was website/server issues and everyone couldn't as well. Wonder why it goes down for individual searches?

Just saw the “Activate Vehicle” button appear in Ford Pass. This is first update outside of seeing the modules appear earlier. Still no official “your truck is built” or delivery estimates.

This is my first brand new vehicle and something I have looked forward to buying my entire life. This entire ordeal from the moment I ordered is not something I can handle again. I am an impatient person and this process has nearly killed me. Today is my blend date but I just know that there will be countless tracker refreshes, ford chat inquires, dealer texts, and forum checks still to go. I really hope this is all worth it and this is not indicative how the industry will be in the coming years. The joy and excitement of my first truck has been completely overshadowed and suppressed by this cruel waiting game. I fully recognize and have compassion for those that have been and will be waiting longer than me. I feel like I have formed a bond with all you people sharing in this misery. This is a great forum/community and will be an invaluable resource in the future for ownership questions. That said, I hope I get this damn this soon and don't have to log in here for at least six months+. Peace be with all ya'll.

Not sure this is where they all end up. I know there's at least two rail yards trucks go two out of the KC plant via convoy, I thought I remember seeing there are four at one point, but can't find the information.

Edit: Based on this there's three rail yards, if you're in Birmingham, you're probably already shipped and probably track via palsapp.

You could be right I should've just specified "my truck"

I can't tell if this is satire or not.

In case it is not, you may consider talking to someone. You should not be this affected by the purchase of a vehicle. It's just a truck man, there are much more important things in life.

In a satirical context. But there is a little bit of truth to it. There are more important things in life. I will live. It is a privilege to be able to be in this position.

Ohh man, it took a long time to type this without cackling...

"But Johnson, it's my 16th birthday and if I don't get the exact truck I ordered by then, my life will be ruined! RUINED!D!!DD!!!!!!"

Haha, just wanted to make sure we all have some perspective. Don't need anyone Epstein-ing themselves over the delay of a pick-up truck.

EDIT: And yes I know Epstein didn't really kill himself.

Thanks for having my back. Also.....35 not 16 @JohnMcClane. Been looking forward to buying a truck a little bit longer than a teenager. I appreciate you all bringing me back down to planet earth. Good luck and carry on.

I'm 36 and if it's any consolation I'll be as excited as a kid on Christmas too when I finally get to crank my Tremor up!

My post wasn't directed at you, the exchange between you and Johnson reminded me of some TV show ad for I think "Sweet 16" or some barf worthy MTV or TLC crap where some soon to be 16 year old said something along the lines of what I typed, man I don't miss cable.

Chatted with Ford. My WS says blend of 5/14 but ordertrack.app says 5/13, thought I'd shoot in the dark and see if maybe it was the earlier day. The sequence number is pretty high, 1603/1781. So I'm guessing it'll be very late in the day when it does get built.

Anyway, I was told my status is "in production," but no build date shows and no delivery ETA. I've also never had delivery info in my ordertrack.app. Not sure if this is all a "bad" sign, but it certainly makes me feel like things are very fluid. Best case scenario seems I'll get built late Saturday or early Sunday.

Another thing, I've been asking if any holds or commodity restrictions show, and today I got a response that the chat people no longer have access to that info. Not sure if anyone else has been told that. I've been holding off contacting the dealer until the truck is built (or if it lingers in production days past by blend date), but the chat guy directed me to the dealer for any specific requests.

Just sharing to compare and see if others have heard any of the same.
