11/29 Build Week

[Pioneer74]

Thanks for all the insight! We appreciate all your hard work making our trucks come alive! We are all very excited to take delivery if you can’t tell!

I can tell. That's why I try to give out any information I can to keep you guys in the loop.

Yes.

What is it that caused the shutdown exactly? Somebody said not chips but other parts...? My oxford white tremor I think is sitting on the line :-(

I think the current one is for shocks.

So weird but thats the life we live in now, hard to get about everything. Do you know how long you will be down?

At least until Monday. Rumors are we will be up and down for the rest of the year for commodity shortages. Next year is TBD.

Well I guess thank goodness mine is supposedly in production. I have waited since June and I know some have waited longer. Thank you for what you do! What does the "blend date" mean at the top of the window sticker? Mine was 12/02/21.

@Pioneer74 will this impact vehicles already produced? Not sure of the shipping process but my guess is Ford holds vehicles until a “batch” can be transported to the same area together?

Not sure if anyone else was lucky enough to get any confirmation on completed build this week. But, my build is currently showing to the dealer in a “Produced” Status and no ETA on shipping. Blend day was 11/29, Build day 12/01, she “came alive” on the Ford Pass App on 12/02 and the module codes popped up later that night. None of the trackers are working for me, anywhere.

The Blend date is when assembly of the body of the truck is first started.

It shouldn't. I think there are people working in the MOD center today. To be honest, I don't know if the 2022 model is being held in batches after the model year change or of they are being shipped.

How many days does it take from start of the body to finish of the truck? Sorry to ask so many questions, never ordered a new truck.

Thank you for the intel and even more so for taking the time to hop on and help us all out. As a fellow Michigan man, I know it’s in your DNA to work hard and take pride in your work, your willingness to hop on here is a reflection of that.
Thanks again, stay warm up there!

It could be the same day. But generally the Produced date is the day of or after Blend.
