4/26 Build Week

[Markl]

I think this is March's week they seem to have movement this week like we did last week.

That would seem to line up with them working both sides into the middle. At least they are working on some of those parked trucks!

Order 3/22, prod 4/28, delivery 10/31

so I am watching my dealers website. There are 8 XLTs, all in transit, all that we cannot seethe sticker on (there’s a button but not working). And those 8 trucks have not changed up or down in over a week.
Did they just give up on updating the site? Are other dealer sites strangely inactive?

I have found at my dealer that it means they are already sold. I talked to my sales manager when I picked mine up last week and he said every thing he got on Thursday was spoken for so he has no inventory again.

I dont like how Quiet my fellow 4/26ers have gotten. I'm losing hope again!

I picked mine up on Saturday the 19th if that helps.

Any concessions for the delay?

That's funny. He's lucky they didn't charge him more. This market is crazy.

Not really, I had my $500 for military and they scrounged another $750 from somewhere but the dealership owner killed all plan pricing in April so no one is getting a deal there. Trust me, it hurt a lot to pay damn near MSRP but at least they paid for tint and bed liner. About $2000 off total, not much.
One more thing, I did use Flood ESP against them and they dropped the ESP cost dramatically.

Unfortunately, I have no update. I was hoping that more of us would have an update after the weekend like we saw last week, but once again I'm reminded that there's no process. These build and ship in the same week trucks are upsetting, but we have to expect foolery. You 4/26 folks that got your trucks, post here whenever you've made an mods to your truck. That should fuel the rest of us to make to the finish line.

I don't know how it will work for Canada but my truck was holding a 4 week transit. Originally it was ETA 6 July but watching my dealer's deliveries I figured 25 June. It beat that by a week.

Mine has been similar. Made it to Edmonton by rail. Now it’s been sitting for 10 days somewhere waiting for the transport truck.

With the wait times some of us have had, we should all get friends and family pricing. Hell, we could have fathered and/or given birth to the dealers children in the same amount of time it has taken ford to build and deliver these trucks.

My truck is currently in Alabama waiting the final leg of its journey, dealer says it will be here on July 3rd, it has a dealer delivery eta on the tracker of June 27 - July 3rd, dealer says that is the start and end date? Any thoughts on that?

Ford Customer Service is about as good as a stoned teenager working at a mcds drive through.

Not sure exactly what you are asking about here? Different dealers receive their trucks differently. Some are picked up from the factory and delivered strictly by car carrier. Some are delivered by rail to a central holding area then car carried for the final leg. The logistics are different for everyone.

As far as the ETA start and end date, you dealer is correct. It's usually a range of 7 days. If you look at the raw data from the tracker, it actually will tell you the range. Example:
"2021-10-25","etaEndDate":"2021-10-31" for us stuck with Oct 31 dates.

Last week:
Total trucks: 57
Trucks built before May 1st: 48
Percentage: 84.21%

What does this mean? That there were 57 trucks delivered last week and 48 of them were on Ramp 59? 84.21% of them that were delivered were built before may 1st?
