4/26 Build Week

[Milesend]

MAKE... your dealer get you a print out from HIS Dealer site. Mine did, it looks like this... (Show him this if he plays dumb!)

Yeah he sent me his version of this showing that it's at ramp 59 and just an unknown eta, at least now I can check on my own without having to hear from them "we don't know what's happening" which just ends up making my blood boil lol. Now I can make my own blood boil while I wait without their help! Thankfully it's warmer now here in Toronto so I'll just enjoy my mustang convertible in the mean time while I wait

I dont understand how orders placed in 2021 is scheduled to be built the same week as mine. I placed my order 09/09 and it says the build date is 04/28 which have been rescheduled many times. My new delivery date is 05/19 but I doubt its going to realize.

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.

We are all in a bad situation. Lots are very bare and other manufactures are just as bad. The Ram I was hoping to buy as a backup plan is now gone and was sold for MSRP. That's insane.

My only two options now for vacation is either my truck gets here or I am renting something for two weeks. It's very difficult right now for us waiting with almost zero information from Ford.

I will for sure! I keep looking at the little graphic on that order page getting excited lol

I've been struggling to temper my excitement. The chances that my truck will actually go into production on June 7th, get built completely and shipped are pretty low.
I'm figuring about a 20% of that happening.
Wish me luck!

The dealers are facing the same problems that we are. I was searching their inventory for any of the four allocations they had when they used one to order my truck. Missing window stickers, delayed builds, it's all there. Here is an example.

Waiting and hoping. My Dealer updated me last week with it being moved to Gate 59. Here is my details. Also of interes. My window sticker is no longer available so I see that as a good sign

It’s deep in my photo roll. But off the top of my head, I know the shipping rail company was Norfolk Southern. I made a whole thread on how to track your rail car when you get to that point.

I went with Greenway Ford in Orlando. They by far had the best deal when I was shopping, and accepted Ford X-Plan too.

Let me know if you have any other questions, I’d be happy to try and help!

I choose the same dealer. I was at the dealership the week you got your truck, and it was the only one delivered at that time. Osama said he was surprised to see it come in. Did you ever ask them for the vehicle history report on your truck?
It looks like your truck went from In production/produced to In Transit. Wild.

My dealer is looking at the same problem with their stock orders.

Spoke to my dealer (Granger) yesterday and he explained they get a weekly report from Ford that tells them which of their retail orders (that’s us) have been built but held in storage vs. being shipped. He has one F150 (a STX) on his lot. So apparently we can be notified ‘about a week’ after our scheduled build day, and well before the truck would be delivered, if it has been held back. He was unable to offer any criteria for how these decisions are made by Ford, which you can imagine leaves dealers in a crummy position: Can’t offer a new customer a truck (or the promise of a delivery time period) and can’t provide any assurance to existing customers waiting for delivery. Crazy times.

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.

4/26 gang, I found out from a Ford employee that DTP will only be shutdown for 1 week of maintenance starting on May 24th rather than the two weeks others have read about in articles. Additionally, he stated that a third party has been contracted to finish the cars that are waiting on chips. Ford hasn't approved OT for the union workers to work on those trucks. Lastly, he also said that he could confirm that all trucks built in the last two weeks have been shipped out. I got this from a Ford Employee in the Blue Oval Forum.

Last two weeks as in first two weeks of May? Or as in 4/19 and 4/26 (this thread and the previous thread)?

Interesting they're saying that with so many still saying "in production" gotta love the trackers being so out of whack

May, bro.

Hmmm.... just yesterday (Sat 5/15) my dealer said his system showed my build DAY was 5/25. Anyone know of an official on-line Ford source that gives weekly status of plant operations?
