4/26 Build Week

[F150 Voodoo]

I feel your pain. Expecting my 5/23 date to change any day now. As soon as it does, I will be letting my dealer know I won't accept delivery in August. I won't feel bad as I'm sure they will be able to sell the truck as soon as it hits the lot.

.

I am holding out hope for my 5/20 date. My dealer says he fully expects to be here. Like everyone if mine drops to August I am canceling. I have been shopping around since I need a truck for early July. When/if my date changes I am probably going to buy a Ram Limited that is on my radar. I hate to do it but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

Fingers crossed. We are in same situation, no tow vehicle until our truck arrives. I have to get our trailer in for warranty work before the season starts but with the lock down here in Ontario I don't feel like I have been missing much. The tough part will be putting on 1500km to break in before we tow. I've been mapping out some driving scenarios, maybe Toronto to Sault St Marie or Toronto to Timmins 700km each way. ? I've been to both destination spots but only during sledding season.

Yeah i have Pinery booked for end of June, have some KOA sites booked.. But really disappointing.. I am not even going to bother to break in the stupid truck, and tow it as soon as i get a date from teh travel trailer. There has been times where i feel like cancelling my Travel trailer (and i am sure the dealer wont care beause TT are in high demand). I still ahve the cybertruck downpayment as well, and now its almost getting to the point where i should just wait for the cybertruck!

Mine also is at CS59. I looked at a bunch of deliveries that Cassens made to East-Court Ford in Scarborough (dealer I used) and pretty much all of them had CS59 as the Ramp. My guess is that this is the location that Cassens transport does pickups for trucks headed to parts of Ontario.

Thank you thats helpful. My dealer is East Court!. wondering how many of us are coming from RedFlagDeals threads.

Just got off the phone with the salesman. He said that my vehicle was received back at the Ford plant on 05/09 after having bedliner wheel liners installed. He said it is now showing ramp 59 and was told it’s awaiting parts (chips his best guess). He also said that all the vehicles they had on order with Build Dates for April, have been pushed back to August ETAs. He said the dealership will receive NO vehicles in the month of June.

As much as i hate to hear this, i am really starting to believe what you are saying. I ordered my truck on January 3, 2021... Max Tow is one of the main reasons for the delay initially.

Very unfortunate.... if i didnt have the travel trailer i woudlnt care to wait all year to be honest!

? I was waiting on the cybertruck as well.

Watch out for the roaches in Pinery. ?
We have the koa in Brighton and Niagara booked. Also Balsam booked for September. Planned on a 2 week trip up to Manitoba in August but covid may change that plan.

I am also waiting to see the F150 Lightning. NO idea if tesla will get the cybertruck out by end of this year, but if the F150 gets pushd out to august /september, i am cancelling my trailer and the F150 and wait for the cybertruck

I just talked with my salesman and while they claim they can’t run a “Track and Trace”, his manager refreshed the screen and my truck is on hold waiting for something. No max tow, but I did get a fairly maxed out 502a Lariat.

Build day was 4/26 so not sure how they decided which vehicles this week did and didn’t get the chips they had as some this week have gotten their trucks and some for the following week.

BTW, tracker is still showing by 5/21 as of this moment.

Would you order a 2022 or go to a different truck altogether?

I love this thread, I don't think any build week has anywhere

Would you order a 2022 or go to a different truck altogether?

So I have been mulling over my options. I am drive a 2013 loaded FX4 now and to be honest I love the truck. But it has 80K on it now and I could not pass up the trade in value, it's really crazy what they are giving for used trucks right now.

Option 1 is to order a Tremor the day the order banks open up.
Option 2 is to wait for a 2022 but risk losing some trade in value if the market settles.
A requirement for either option would be for my dealer to place the order with the highest possible priority.

Option3 is to just forget about a truck for the immediate future and buy a tractor with a backhoe that I have been wanting. (costs as much as a truck)

Still undecided.

I don't know of this means anything or not but my sticker just updated. This morning the date said 5-6-2021 and just now it says 5-13-2021. If could be just a weekly update, but I am just happy to see something has changed.

Weekly update, mine changes every Thursday. Noticed this awhile ago on dealer stock too. Most have a blend date say like in Jan but a sticker date in March. Looks like it's common practice for Ford to regen the stickers weekly until shipped.

WELL, SO MUCH FOR ME GETTING EXCITED. THIS MORNING (10-ISH) TRACKER MOVED FROM "CONFIRM ORDER" TO "IN PRODUCTION" AND IT DID NOT HAVE AN EST. DELIVERY DATE. JUST NOW (3 PM) AN EST. DELIVERY DATE OF 6/5 POPPED UP.

AND WE ALL KNOW HOW CERTAIN THAT IS... HONESTLY, I'M JUST GLAD THE ORDER IS IN AND EVENTUALLY, I'LL HAVE A NEW TRUCK (that was built months and months ago).

Another 3 months is brutal, cancelling my order at that point , why pay for a 21 when 22 will be rolled out

I hear you! However, '22 buyers will run into essentially the same issues (shortages, production stops, etc.) And from what I gather there won't be very many updates to the newer model anyway. (i'm just gonna hang tight.) Good luck to you, DJ

Like many others I am also giving this a lot of thought, in addition I doubt the discounts we locked in on the 21's before the shortages really sat in will carry over to the 22's as well. I would be willing to bet for a similar build 22 truck would cost me $15K more than what I have my 21 locked in for.
