4/26 Build Week

[mattchops]

My PALSAPP status is the same too.
Could I assume our trucks have completely built? Otherwise why they give us Freight Bill #? I hope that makes sense.

Mine has the same status, as well, while waiting on the bed liner.

Oh, let me have a daydream

This is my status as of this morning. I don't even have movement to Ramp 59, I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing.

Lariat 501A, Max Tow, interior work surface, B&O non-unleashed, no wheel liners and no bedspray.

just curious what triggers a "Built" status in this tracker? seems odd that it's clearly a fabricated vehicle just not yet shipped out. I would think "Built" would be checked-off. my OCD kicking in!

I have a Freight Bill # for a while and it is in Pending status. The order date is 2021-01-26. The date my truck was built is 2021-04-02.
The ETA End Date was recently added and it's 2021-07-29! So all this doesn't make any sense to me...

I think built means 100% built, not waiting for any parts

Order date 3/22 and received my VIN on 3/26. Window sticker was produced on 4/16.

My dealer showed April 26th build date, then May 9th with ETA to dealer on. May 21. My Truck will be built at the Kansas city plant which is currently shut down trough week of May 24th.

The vehicle tracker shows that ETA to dealer is still May 21, but that is not possible due to shut down. I am hoping that they will resume production soon. My dealer says Ford is prioritizing Retail orders over dealer stock. Hoping my truck will not be sitting on a lot somewhere either.

XLT 302A 2.7 Antimaterblue.

I talked to my salesman when my ETA moved from 6/4 to 5/25 if he would give me a 3 business day heads up so I could get my cash together and he said he wouldn't know until it arrived on the lot.????

Pioneer74 indicated that plant shutdowns don't mean that folks aren't working at the plants. It just means that new vehicles aren't being built, so if you're was really built on the 26th, your hold up is either shipment or some minor additions like bedliner or wheel well liners. There's hope that you get your truck near your ETA IF the truck was built before the shutdown.

My dealer has been really honest and straightforward with me, and he said a lot of the time Ford doesn't communicate properly with dealerships about the vehicles they'll be getting. He added that all too often vehicles just arrive at his dealership with no notice that the vehicles were being transported. Apparently Ford has always operated this way, but hopefully the problems seen from the 2021 delivery cycle will cause the CEO that took over right before COVID to change things.

Checked with Pioneer on the other forum this morning, looks like my build just might make it.

Very similar to mine spectre446, I also have the Max Tow and it's been sitting in this status for a while.

A while back some max tow parts were causing delays. No idea if that's the case now. A tiny part of me hopes that the truck is actually released and being shipped, the tracker hasn't always been up-to-date for others, they've gotten surprise calls to come pick up their truck

I have read that shortages of parts doesn't mean there are NO parts, and with all the other plant shutdowns, I am hopeful there is parts available for the builds they are choosing to build.

My build I think is very similar to yours and I suspect as soon as one of us sees some movement the other one will as well. Hopefully you are correct on the tracker just not being up to date and when the estimated end date comes around we get a phone call.

Let us all know here if you get any updates, I'll do the same!
