05/09/22 Build week

Was dropping the camera your idea or your dealers?

Thats about the only option i haven't dropped yet...

In my case the dealer suggested dropping spray-in bed liner and the auto start/stop function. A week later I got a VIN and my original build week.

Dealer said if I didn't I would either get pushed to 2023 or Ford would remove it

I've already dropped those. (Bedliner, and Tonneu) My engine is the powerboost so dropping the start stop is redundant but my dealer said theirs no option/tool to drop it.

360 Camera is a new one to me, though it makes sense. Any idea if that is something that can be added at a later date? It is kinda handy for parking, trailers and what not.

Dropping the 360 camera would I think be a deal killer for me. I've got a Lariat on order and hopefully something that sticks. Don't think it's real easy to add 360 camera as a few of those cameras are on side mirrors but I do know there are aftermarket backup cameras for RVs that might work for you. Who knows, maybe something Ford will come up with in the future.

Taking a look at my “scheduling” e-mails from Ford.

All have come within 10 minutes of 8pm EST.

So at least they’re consistent in that regard.

Remember, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays they can’t hurt us.

Well, they haven’t yet

You speak the truth about my 'bump' email. I wonder what day/time older confirmed builds get notified. Sort of like waiting to get laid off or not.

Ordered 4/6, received build day on 4/14 of 5/9. 22 Screw 3.5EB XLT with mid package. Seems like a fairly quick turnaround time.. hoping I don’t get bumped.

Wow! That is quick. Most here have been waiting at least three months to get a VIN and build week only to be bumped a few times at least. Congratulations!

I ordered 12/20 and have been bumped six times thus far. Good luck.

Just going to wait and see if I get to Friday without an e-mail for my 9th re-schedule. Then I might incur about what has become a farce to me, a "production day."

I want to give up, but then I also want a truck!

I just called FMC Marketing, they are friendly but similarly clueless. The lady told me my delivery date for my 3/31 blend date build is 5/4-5/10, but it is on chip hold. She suggested I call my dealer and ask them to remove "adaptive cruise control" as that is what is holding up my production completion. I tried to reason with her and not make her feel completely incompetent about her suggestion, but I laughed and cried at the same time.

She also confirmed that my 2nd order s still scheduled for 5/23 week, also 4 reschedules on that one(at least not 9)

Click the 5/9 build week tab in the linked sheet. Not a lot of participants here this week, or is Ford really slowing down? The 5/16 week looks even worse.
