The longer I wait, the bigger my down payment, is how I'm choosing to look at it. It could be much worse, IMO.

Same. Nothing I can do will make a difference in getting the truck I ordered. Might as well enjoy the summer.

Hmm okay. I asked Ford chat yesterday and they just said it was still in production. I guess I am in limbo until I get a different answer.

In case you didn't, I would suggest directly asking if you are on a part hold or chip hold. If you did and they said they don't see that, then my next guess would be that the bedliner is causing your delay. Others will have to chime in with what kind of delay to expect, but I would not be surprised if it's longer than you think it ought to be. Many on this forum, myself included, omitted or removed a spray-in bedliner due to warnings that it was causing production delays.

I won't be paying cash outright unfortunately, but between down-payment and trade-in, I'll be putting down a considerable amount, which helps take the sting out of watching interest rates climb.

My dealership said they locked in my trade value so whether it takes 2 more months or 5 more months they will give me the same amount. That is the only positive here for me lol

Damn I wish I had that, traded in my car when I signed for the reservation.

I am surprised and have asked them probably 3 times to confirm and they have in writing. So I will be getting all my money back from the next couple months on a down payment

As of this moment ....
Ford tracker shows "Built" but not shipped
Order Track shows "delivered"

Per my request Chip@Granger just sent me a pic of my payload sticker so I KNOW it is at the dealer and I exceeded the payload rating I was hoping for (wanted to meet the 1729# of my current 2005 XLT, the new Lariat even with full-power tailgate is rated for 1848# )

So, it's obvious that Ford Tracker can 'lag', not keeping up with latest reality. The independent Order Track seems to have been spot-on with updates.

And so my tracking days are done, I sincerely wish the very best for everyone in your F150 delivery sagas, have hope!

my truck is finally showing as delivered as well in the Ford tracker. A day delay between palsapp and ford tracker. Now to buy my plane ticket to Des Moines!

So, I was told June 10th delivery date about a week ago, then like many was told "October due to chip shortage", now I am being told June again. Today, I both called and used the chat with Ford the two reps each told me that it has again been "re-updated to June". Anyone else feeling like a pin-ball and getting bounced around. Edit: My dealer got same info as I did today as well.

I just got the email my truck has been built, and has an expected delivery date of 9/20-9/25. Hard to believe the truck can really be built and then also take 4+ months to get delivered.

OH good lord. Is this something we can all look forward to? 4 months between ACTUAL Build and delivery? Is this a joke?

So out of boredom I tracked every “Shipped” truck out of KC who’s shared there VIN in the sheet. So far we are all still KC metro.

@Brego where was your truck built and what are it's stats?

 

[Brego]

Got my built e-mail this morning, my “Activate Vehicle” is still messed up. There’s no ETA in the tracker, but the e-mail says June 19-25.

Let’s hope those of us with June ETAs are being told the correct info. I really don’t know what to think now, after being told June, then October, now June again. ?

Just talked to dealer and my truck was dropped at the dealer last night.

The order track app never changed the info below. It just went to delivered status.

That’s wild… when I tried yours in Palsapp, it had the null “pending”

Are you near the plant?

Yep. I got the same with the Palsapp as well. I'm about 650 miles southeast of the plant near the AL/TN line.
