4/26 Build Week

[succeed23]

Mine still shows ETA May 10. Window sticker is still up. Don't know what that means.

Is that a good sign?

It means nothing.

The window sticker disappearing has to be some type of a glitch in the tracking system or with the web browser and I doubt means anything other than that (my guess at least). My sticker disappeared last week. My delivery eta is so far unchanged (5/30).

The sticker still populates for me when I use my phone and the tracker on this site. However, it’s no longer available via web browser on my computer. When I pull it up on my phone it shows an updated sticker date at the bottom and everything else is unchanged.

That link says that "produced" status means it is complete and ready to ship. I think that's incorrect, there's a status that says "released" which means it is released by the plant and ready to ship

It says Built/Produced is ready to ship. They mention a sub status of in production that is produced as well. The information seems to be largely accurate to me. ??‍

Ordered 2/9/21 and build date of 4/27/21. Just lost my window sticker....ETA still 5/24/21.

I am going to assume my ETA will be pushed to August like everyone else this week.......Might be time to find something different.

Ordered 3/1, built 4/24, ETA was....two days ago. Window sticker is no longer viewable...just a 404 error. Salesperson told me that it's been pushed to Jun 22nd.

I'm guessing that there are a few people up at Ford HQ that are downing pepto-bismol bottles by the case.

So guys. There is a lot of pages here and I went through a good amount but I can't see the link of where you're getting all this info. I feel like I take the cake too. I ordered my 502a lariat in july of 2020 and still don't have it. It was built and waiting and I don't know what the heck is next, just that's it's at ramp 59.....

I'm pretty sure the order banks were not even open July 2020. When was the actual date the dealer placed the order? What's your VIN and order number?

When are y’all going to say screw it and buy one off the lot? I think if my ETA goes to August I’m going to cancel and get one as close as I can find to what I ordered.

Here in PA, the lots are bare.......and I mean bare. The two largest dealers near me have like 4 trucks between them.

It’s slim pickens in my part of TX, as well. There’s really only a handful that come close and always have to compromise. I guess that’s only going to get worse the longer this takes.

The last few days, as I drove past about a half dozen or so various dealerships (Ford, Chevy, Dodge, etc), I think only one (a Nissan dealer) even had a 2021 truck left on the lot. Most of them only had a few used trucks, and some of them even had barely a fraction of their normal inventory of cars/trucks.

Finding and new vehicle is getting to be pretty slim on choices.

Right you are. Produced means it's build, where staying "in production" as most our trucks are and have been, are obviously waiting to be completed. Once we see the " released", "awaiting shipment" usually happens at the same time and we can get exited. I tend to think that with the 2 down-weeks coming up, they'll use the chips they have and get all those vehicles already build to the dealers before long!

Mine shows in Production but the dealer looked it up and said it is in fact in Kentucky at the race course with all the others. He said that they are actually putting chips in them to drive them to transport, removing the chip and taking it back to the next truck in line to drive it to the transport. Sounds like desperate times at Ford if they have to carry around chips to move stock to other states for long term storage.

Hold up. Your truck was built in Dearborn and then transported to Kentucky to wait on parts? Wow, I didn’t know it was that bad
