Let's kick off the party for 4/26 Build Week. I ordered 3/11 and got my VIN today. 6 weeks from order to build week seems too good to be true so I'm cautiously optimistic. Let's see what all these chip shortages do
ordered mine on 2-16-21, its was built on 3-21-21, got vin and window sticker now truck sitting on dearbourne lot waiting for backup camera according tp dealer.

Mine is getting build on 4/27 as well. your rotation number is 2677 (probably day shift) mine is 3324, which is likely afternoon shift..
Mine is same day with 2861 number. I am assuming this is the day it starts? so technically it should finish production 3 days later?

You're only 2 hours behind C Low's unit.....Yes, I believe that when it's "bucked", the beginning of the line in bodyshop. Should be out the door within 24 hours, unless it ends up in the paint repair hole due to damage or bad paint-job, or gets hung up because of a two-tone paint job, which takes extra time.

I thought I read somewhere that it took 3 days from start to finish in the factory. 24 hours is moving along to completely build a truck. I am just hoping we don't end up in the field waiting on chips for the next 6 months.

That’s what I’m worried about also. Being built then sitting in a lot for parts or a chip.

I worked at STAP, where the Crown Victoria and Continental's were made. We build 60/hour. Not positive, but i think they pump out close to 60/hr at Dearborn as well. Took 2.5 shifts from beginning to end, so....20 hours if it kept moving and didn't get hung up in a repair hole along the way. From what i rread, ford has put priority on costumer orders and uses the chips up on them first. I've ordered a Plat without moon roof, no Max trailer. No clue if that had anything to do with the short turn-around for me. I ordered it 3/12

I know Ford could care less what I think but I just read somewhere yesterday that the Raptor will start being built in May and there is currently plenty of chips to build them. No doubt it uses some different chips but if it uses any of the same chips the regular F150s use then that's not fair! Should be 1st come, 1st served! We've been waiting too damn long! I say start the Raptor in November or later since it's supposedly going to be a 2022 model anyway.

I suspect my build date of May 1 is fading quickly Raptor or not.
