12/13 Build Week

[sysop]

Congrats! A sleeper we weren't tracking and it's delivered!
So a few questions:
State delivered to?
Plant built at?
Order date?
And the most important question now:
Work Surface?

WV, Dearborn, first day of '22 orders, and the work surface is not applicable with 6 passenger seating. My co-pilot needs to be able to get from the driver's side floorboard to the passenger seat via the transmission hump. He's too old to make the jump into the driver's seat to go across the console and I'm too old to lift him all the time. That's really one of the main reasons I ordered one. I've watched for a few years, but they never seem to stock any long wheelbase Lariats with the 6 passenger seating, all have the console.

I like the full seat w/ no console. I'm weird, I guess. Down here in the Richmond area, I bet 99.5% of the F150's are ordered with the 5.5' bed, and console, plus FX4.

I see the same here. I think there is a push from the top for them to sell consoles when possible. Same with the sunroofs. Every pickup owner with a sunroof I've spoken to has said they never use them and wouldn't have ordered them with a sunroof, it just happened to be what the dealer had. They charge an absolute mint for sunroofs and consoles, there has to be a ton of profit in them. At least there are those that do prefer a console, even if I'm not one of them.

I hardly open it fully, but I do enjoy opening the shade & getting light in through the roof. I'm so used to having it open now that it feels closed in when the shade isn't open.... So I added it to my order.

Some people like them.

X2, wouldn't order a truck without the sunroof.

LOL. It's mind boggling that there has been an issue with the trackers for weeks now. The odd thing is that it seems to be working OK for the guys in the 12/6 Build group.

When I called Ford Marketing yesterday she kept telling me to try the tracker, I had to try very hard to keep my mouth shut. She said to use Chrome because "it's the best browser". Why would I call her if I could track it myself?

Are there 22's that work in the tracker for that week?

Question for anyone in the know...

Is it possible for a truck to get built without the modules populating?

I was originally in the 12/13 build week. Never heard anything until I reached out to my dealer last week, who said it was "scheduled to be finished on the 23rd. I reached out yesterday to see if it was delayed again, because I have no modules and they said it was "at the plant and in production." That was yesterday.

Based on the 20-hour estimate for a truck to be built, how is it possible that I don't have module information yet? Or is my dealer just full of it?

My truck was in the bay paired for shipping for a day or two before modules showed up. It’s possible that this is a batched process done by a human after it’s built? It definitely took mine a bit longer to show up.

My truck was built the week of December 13th as well. It just arrived at the dealer yesterday (12/26) and I got a call today that it will be ready later today. Being a rainy day and needing to strip my stuff off my 2015, I'll likely be unable to get it until tomorrow.

Truck looks stunning! Enjoy the new ride

Ford, can you please comment on when / if the tracker and window sticker links will work for MY22 trucks?

It would be great to at least be able to see the window stickers for our trucks.

For instance, my truck has been built + shipped yet I can't track it or download a window sticker from your site.

+1 on that request.
