4/19 Build Week

[cghall77]

Wishful thinking is all we got! I would think that Ford wants as many shipped out and delivered as possible by the end of QTR June 30th. Let's hope the bean counters put the pressure on.... I used to work very closing with investor relations in a public company, so I know all about the QTR ends!

I work in manufacturing sector here in North America and totally understand the qrt by qtr share holder drive. It really sucks when your results are gated by your vendors. Only way to fix that is to build everything in house but that can't be done over night and can't be done with the share holder value in mind unless the consumer is willing to pay a whole bunch more. Even then, freak accidents like plant fires must make the commodity teams cringe when they have sole sourced contracts. I know the Forest River RV plant was also been having issues with a fire delaying deliveries separate from the current chip issue.

Mine is in offsite storage. Bedliner has been installed. It's missing a module. Dealer called me today as they were attempting to escalate the order. In the process of the call, they mentioned that the offsite storage facility that mine is at currently has over 20K trucks waiting for modules. What is frustrating is that they are moving metal that has blend dates after ours. My question is has anyone received their powerboost with the 7.2 kw propower within the last month?

My window sticker is also no longer available, but I have copies of all the changes to date.

14 different F150 Super Crew PB w 7.2KW Lariats have arrived at a few dealers within a 40 mile radius of here. All are dealer ordered trucks and not customer trucks. Mine (Leadfoot) has been sitting offsite since 4/1. Latest ETA from the regional Ford rep is early July. This is just an old fashion screwing from Ford. all of these dealer trucks are at least 5K over MSRP.

How'd you get the contact info for the regional rep

Thanks for the reply. That sheds some light, but not much. I was mainly wondering on the ones that are in this group here. FWIW - There two currently transit / already sold in DFW, with 14 on order...

Neither of the ones on the "ground" are a color that I'd accept. (Not paying for white, and I'm done with black) Both have blend dates in May (5.13 & 5.17), although the dealer sites do not show the trucks for sale. This leads me to believe that they've already sold and the Ford site is out of date.

Here's my thought: most if not all PB trucks that are now arriving were built in the week just before the shutdowns or after ours. It seems like ours (PB trucks & Dearborn builds in general) with this scheduled week got caught in a crossfire. They had 98% of the parts to build them, and sent them down the line anyways. We are now waiting for (1) module to complete the trucks. I am taking a guess that it is related to the hybrid system or pro power, as mine needed a bedliner (Which is complete) and is now back at offsite storage waiting on the module. If it was something more major, they would not have been able to send it offsite to get the bedliner.

Sorry for the dissertation. I'm consigned to wait until August for mine. It's still the exact truck that I want and I'll enjoy it more once I get it....

OCTOBER!!!! That’s out of control. I’m probably going to tap out soon and find something off the lot. My current truck is about to die.

so would that make it a '22?

Nah I think the 22 list said orders started in Sept but no production until November.

I'm hoping this isn't real and I'm just having a bad dream. If it ain't here by July I'm cancelling as I'm moving states and trying again with a 22. Some dealers already offering under invoice for 22 orders closer to where I am moving.

Im hoping these dates are generic considering everyone's eta date got move out to Aug, but in your case I'm not too sure.

Nothing has changed for me in about a month. Still can’t see my window sticker that disappeared about a month ago. I’m starting to think Ford PR people are geniuses because I cannot find hardly any news about this clusterF@#k. All the recent news is about the new Lightning. Nothing (well....very very little) about the current mess. Such a Doctor Evil move!!!!!!

Mine was bumped to 10/31 on this tracker but is still showing 5/14 everywhere else. Ordered 2/26 - Produced 4/22.

 

[JDMan]

On which tracker? The tracker from this website?

Yes

That's odd.. it just queries the backend JSON from this: https://shop.ford.com/aemservices/s...*&vin=YOURVINHERE&orderNumber=YOURORDERNUMBER

You should always check the RAW json link ^.. that's the one source that isn't cached.
