4/26 Build Week

[F150 Voodoo]

My current status is "In Production - Origin Received - 4G (Autoport Limited ) Ramp 59, Dearborn Truck, MI Apr-29-2021, 02:37 ET." ETA is still the 19th, but I'm no fool.

I have pretty much the same status. My ETA is the 20th. I have been waiting on my dealer to respond to me since Friday.

Was there any explanation on why the window stickers become no longer available?

 

[Knickell]

My salesperson is Troy who is the sales manager for online customers. I had a slight issue with one sales guy there, and asked for another person. That's how I ended up with the sales manager as my salesperson. My build date was April 28th. My experience with Greenway started off shaky, and it appears they only have ONE guy that can pull visibility reports and he's been on vacation all of last week. My ETA is supposed to be the 19th (this Wednesday), so I'll be reaching out again for an update on Thursday.

I had that experience too. My salesman had to check with another person to get me an update.

Great info! This needs to be its own thread! I’m going to post it over in General F-150 topics so others can see if you don’t mind.

This is so frustrating. I want to cancel my truck just out of principle at this point.

I have thought about this myself but in looking at the options it seems I would be the only one that would be affected, and not in a good way. I don't really want the Ram Limited although that was my first choice until I checked out the 2021 F-150, I still think GM is way behind on the times, not to mention I can't get past the looks of the front end. (Imports is not an option for me, I know some on here have no moral objections to them and thats certainly their choice.) So all in all I would either be waiting a few years for a new model of Ram or GM or re-ordering another Ford at some point in the future, which would no doubt cost me much more than what I negiotiated the current one for.

Another way to look at it is if you cancel your order, they will sell your canceled truck, most likely for MSRP or close to it. Technically you will be doing them a favor by canceling as not only will they make more money but also reduce the need for chips by one unit.

So if you really need/want a truck right now, we don't have any leverage that I can find. If you are in a position to wait a few years, then I am sure this will all blow over eventually. Thats not to say there will not be another "issue" behind this one, as thats always a risk, especially with the current political environment. However, by waiting I am sure the price will increase and you may be experiencing a whole different set of problems at that time.

I have been also thinking of what concession would make thrilled/happy with my current order, but unforuntly I think anything extra I demanded would come from the dealer and not FMCO. With dealers already hurting from the low inventory I will not add to that financial burden. That not to say they would even listen to me anyway as they would make more on the truck if I walked.

In the end I will likely take the one I ordered whenever it comes in, unless there are some major quality concerns that arise during the inspection. I will definatly get the extended warranty, as it sounds like they will be using 3rd party work force to complete these "Parts" trucks, and there is no telling what issues will arise in the future from all the plugging and unplugging of modules they have no doubt gone through.

Hi all, AccentedWanderer here.
Pioneer gave me an update on 05/09 before he decided to take a brake. Here is the screenshot he provided.

Now - long story short. My truck came in today.

I ordered on 03/01. Received VIN by asking dealer on 03/11. Was told initial built date was 04/05 but was pushed back to 04/26.
Truck Blend Date was 04/30. The factory is Dearborn, MI. Official Ford online tracker only changed status after 04/22 to 'in production' and still is today (05/17).
As you can see, on 05/09, no update on shipping and 'released' on this screenshot. My official tracker has an ETA of 05/25 and was never changed.

Today is 05/17, my salesman texted me and said the truck is here. I have seen the photo he sent. I will go pick it up tomorrow. Tracker still says 'in production'. No update on PALSAPP yesterday nor today. my vehicle vin is 1FTFW1E89MFB47515.

My truck is a F-150 SuperCrew 5.5ft, Carbonized Grey Lariat 502A.Ecoboost 3.5 with trailer package and sports package and FX4 (no max tow). I have power tailgate, 360 camera, BO unelased, Moonroof, 2kw ProPower, 36 Gallon Tank. Pretty much fully loaded Lariat. No bedliner nor wheel well liners. No Touneau Cover.

Edit 1: Photo from salesman today

I personally think that like everyone said, Ford is a mess. They are most definitely focusing on retail order, or else no way my vehicle would come in on time. I have priority number of 19 so this is definitely not an issue. I will guess that it is up to your individual dealer allocation that might cause difference in production and shipping time. Again, PALSAPP is not working for me - I think you should not count on it since it is inconsistent - some people have it working and see update on PALSAPP before dealer arrival but this is not me. 05/25 eta was accurate for me and it actually arrived 8 days earlier. So for those who still have it, keep your hopes up!

I hope this information can be helpful for some of you tracking down you truck. I have been here for about 15 days, it's been fun.

This actually gives me hope as I was one of the few from this build week that the ETA has not been pushed to August.

Congratulations sir, you are the first late April build dates that has confirmed they have a truck. Several in the week after have already arrived.

Come back with pictures of the undercarriage and let us see if the rust problem has been addressed.

That gives me hope too, as my ETA has not been pushed from 5/19 yet and I was a 4/24 build.

Hopes high, expectations low

This is pretty much the same status that I have...but my ETA is still May 12th. Maybe them mean May 12th 2022....

Well, with any luck I will be right behind you. Same BLEND and about 800 builds behind yours.

Hello,

Can you confirm to us tomorrow the blend date on your window sticker that is on the truck, confirm if it's the same vin

 

[ccwhaler]

Like many of y’all, my window sticker went away with this morning and is no longer available. 4/30 build presumably still waiting on the bed liner.

What gets my goat is that the sales rep ordered the factory spray in liner after we explicitly decided to do it aftermarket for a more thorough job. Called her within a week of signing the deal to confirm the lineX install because I didn’t see it delineated in the paperwork. She said sorry but could not change it. they instead, agreed to touch it up to the LineX standard out of pocket for them. In hindsight, they could have dug deeper. Hope that is not what is holding up my build

 

[AccentedWanderer]

Hello,

No way would a dealer joke around to tell me that my truck is here when it is actually not.

I got the blend date from sticker which is 04/30 as stated earlier. More than happy to check VIN tomorrow to see whether the vehicle is actually mine and I highly doubt it is not in current environment.

Also my dealer ordered the same truck for me twice. That I can confirm so it could be either or. Here is the photo he sent me today.
