Can confirm the same here on the Forum Tracker. Ford Tracker still shows an error. I had checked around tuesday or wednesday this week for S&Gs with nothing.

My 1/15 order window sticker disappeared a month ago from Ford but has always shown up the Forum Tracker

Both my window stickers have been up since the day I got a VIN. Only chages I ever see are the weekly date change at the bottom.

Latest update from dealer, on hold pending chips. ? They are seeing some of the ramp 59 being released, but in very very small numbers. No further info from corporate Ford at this point.

Mine was a Ramp CA22, one shipped other on hold still.

I have been a lurker on this thread since inception. So beyond frustrated by Ford, and their lack of customer service I doubt I will ever buy a Ford again due to this experience.

Order Confirmed 1/28/2021
In Production 4/24/2021
Delivery Est 10/31/2021

While Ford is probably using their resources to maximize productivity they should change their corporate vision statement.

Ford’s corporate vision is “to become the world’s most trusted company, designing smart vehicles for a smart world.”

Ford is forcing those of us in this dilemma to loose trust. Trust is built with open, honest, two-way communication. For Ford to not communicate with those who have placed orders with a deposit on this issue does not build trust. Ford being quiet is not satisfactory.

Ford's PR resources are massive; however, if they placed just a small amount of resources into serving those loyal customers who are trusting them with their order, it would bring substantial change to this dilemma, and build on the vision that they have claimed. It would be worth so much more than chasing random people with catchy commercials. Ford created a hole in their customer bucket and is losing both customers and trust at a faster pace than gaining new ones. They need to put some emphasis on building trust.

Sorry about the rant. I am just so disappointed in Ford's lack of leadership.

I am with you 100%. Jim Farley needs to go. It is all about Wall Street and damage control, it has nothing to do with customer satisfaction. I wonder how many of those purchase surveys are going to ding the dealer bonus. I know mine will. Why do you think there has been such a push to release the Lightning and the Maverick. Does anyone really believe these will be built on the advertised schedule? Right? Maverick in September for $19,999. Sure. 70,000 reservations for F150 Lightnings in the first week? Sure? It's all about deflecting focus.

In my case, the dealer isn't the problem. They let me know what they know when they know it. Problem is that information isn't flowing to anyone from above.

I’ve bought 3 F150s off the same sales guy over the last few years. He keeps me posted on what he knows. For just his clients, he’s waiting for 18 trucks. The dealer as a whole is 64. There were a few that arrived “unannounced” and sold before they got off the hauler!

I’m just a bit surprised that they don’t give the customers that have been waiting a choice. Of the ones that are arriving that are close to what we ordered, we could jump on those with the agreed upon deal. Let them sell our Ramp 59 trucks whenever they come in at MSRP.

Glad seeing everyone’s input! Hope it’s sooner rather than later

PS The GM dealer in town has ZERO trucks on their lot.??

Built 4/28
ETA 10/31

I've been on the phone a lot over the last 2 weeks with dealers from Toronto to Ottawa, to Windsor to the Sault and Thunder Bay. Nothing even on the order books for something like mine or I would jump all over it if it was on route. Finding a GM 1500 has been hard, lots of 2500 available. Wish the GMs on the lots were the 2022 with the updated interior. Having done a lot of test drives with the 12" screen and then hoping into the GMC, the screen looks so tiny.

Ya totally drove a Elevation before I ordered my F150 in February just to see if I’d jump to GM. All aluminum in the Fords make it feel lighter with better drive feel I find. Plus I’m not a column shift guy lol

I like the AT4, but the interior still feels cheap to me. With our f150 and being a family vehicle, we needed that 1 seat up front for the short trips where kids bring friends along so we will have the column shift. No different than the impala I drive for years. Like the console but just doesn't work for us.

Well, I finally abandoned ship on the F150 I ordered. I wasn’t in a dire crunch like some to get a truck, but not having one for years and finally making a decision to purchase one and put in an order for what I wanted to have it sit with no clue to when it will make it in, I let it go. We originally thought we could still get the x-plan when we ordered, but later found out the company opted out of renewing whatever they needed to back in Oct 2020. So we didn’t agree to any special pricing since we thought we were doing x-plan.

So I started looking at F250s again and found one that was just built end of May and got to the dealer on Thurs. We picked it up today.

I hope all of you that have a good offer locked in can get something soon. I would have liked a lighter truck, we pull our’s behind a motorhome, and the powerboost, but I wanted a SD diesel when we let our 350 DRW go so that was what I ended up getting after all.
