4/26 Build Week

[ScottBB]

I used to check 10+ times per day but I could only take so much heartache in a day. I was down to a few times per week but now that ramp 59 trucks are moving, I've been checking 3-5 times per day. I have secret hope that I get a call from my dealer that the truck unexpectedly showed up on their lot but I know that's a pipe dream.

Well there is hope, looks like my 4/30 build will be here tomorrow or early next week (it is now in Louisianna on its way here to South Mississippi once they ship it from the rail yard). My 4/29 build is still in chip hell. I ordered two on 3/16 for my Son and Daughter. I was hoping they would show up at the same time when I ordered but things don't always work out that way.

Where can you see the dealers deliveries?

My dealers website went from 6 F150’s to 101 overnight. Mine is one of them. My experience is that those retail order/green stickers only stay up for a couple of weeks so I’m taking it to mean my truck is inbound.

I have gone through the vins for f150 at my dealers lot. None show up on Palsapp or cassens. I have found only the mustangs that hit the lot show up in cassens.

They aren't even on the delivery receipt?

Been watching my dealer ... WOW.. so many F150is are coming in... almost 15 coming tomorrow alone! Very reassuring.

Which dealer are you dealing with?

MacPhee ford? I noticed that last night, I think something broke. I can only hope as mine is in there too

Might make sense with both Dearborn and KCAP re-opening this week but yes, a little suspect haha.

No f150 show up in palsapp or cassens. Some of the ones I checked at the lot where I could see the vin and order still show in production

If you go clicking around, you'll find some with missing window sticker, and the fact that mine still shows up in the tracker as in production...



On a unrelated note, and I think I know the answer because why do it any other way right? Spray in bedliner that can cause a 10w delay, I'm assuming it's on top of missing chip delay...

Just keep things in perspective. While your dealer should be able to run a visibility report on your VIN to provide a little more detail on the status, the delays and chip shortage is not their fault. No reason to beat up the dealer or sales manager for things out of their control.

I wont beat them up but Ford lack of information to dealers is very poor communication for all , we just got in 8 new f250’s for departments and Ford never called us to say we are delivering same dealership so it might there problem of low abs slow notifications. I just like a heads up to keep up with what’s going on .

Go to dealers website and look for new f150’s that have come in and look at window stickers and check dates on it top left center has blend date , lower center is date that truck started production at plant ,

Enter your VIN and order number. You can find your window sticker at the bottom left.
Your blend was April 21st. So your truck went thru the assembly process but was built without chips and is sitting in a parking lot waiting to be completed.

Thank you got more info then dealer.

What specifically does blend date indicate?

 

[Mark Fischer]

I guess blend date is the complete build and all add ons are accounted for the show your ordered truck has everything added.
