4/26 Build Week

Reading the article seems like hope.

"While we continue to manufacture new vehicles, we're prioritizing completing our customers' vehicles that were assembled without certain parts due to the industry-wide semiconductor shortage," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker said in an email to S&P Global Platts.

That red really pops! How'd your inspection go? Any issues so far?

Ridge Grapplers are 33x12.5 r20 is what I'm thinking about for tires. I want an aggressive look that's not loud, and I've heard Grapplers aren't too noticeable.

I have Ridge Grapplers on my 2016...they are loud enough to notice with the stereo on.

UGH! WOW. Any idea what looks aggressive but isn't loud enough to hear over music?

Last rant about trash ass customer service:

I got the Ford tracking link from a forum just like this guy just did. I didn't get this information from my dealer like I should have. I bet my Canadian comrades weren't aware that the Ford tracker didn't work for them until they tried or heard about it from a forum. Rant complete. ?

I agree. Had them on my Silverado years ago and they were hummers. Also, IMO they only really look good for about 10 thousand miles. They wear fast and then they just look like your driving around on old worn tires.

No issues all good so far

Well I'll be damned, just got word from my dealer today! Delivery date JUST changed in the tracker today too. Of course, it gets there while I'm out of town and still has to sit for a few more days before I can finally take it home, SMH. Anyways, here's a bit of good luck/ hope for everyone else in Central FL still waiting.

Congrats neighbor, I am in Orlando and my truck was delivered the exact same day, seems as though they may have shared a truck ride down! I took delivery on the 30th and headed out to the Carolinas the following day.

@Markl you must've slept in your truck last night. Lol. How'd the inspection go? You also know that you gotta post pics to give us that fuel to continue on. ?

? you know I got it home from the dealer Wednesday night around 7pm, slapped a bed cover on it loaded it up, got around 5 hours sleep and then we headed out to the Carolinas, so I have been in if for around 9 hours, too excited to sleep! This truck is worth the wait….it’s truly a well engineered truck, and the power boost is sublime!

For all that are currently concerned about the trucks condition after sitting, I haven’t noticed any issues visually with the truck, it looks just as though it came off the line, new car smell is in full effect and there is no fading or damage to the interior. It drives great and I just managed 700 miles with three occupants and a bed full of stuff, traveling highway speeds of around 70-75 on mountain roads to the Carolinas. I got around 40 electric miles in that distance. I have 32 miles to empty! As you can see I am checking up on this thread and will continue to until all the 4/26 trucks are home! Maybe we can all join another thread, 4/26 survivors or something ? hang in there, the trucks are amazing, and deep down we all know it, that’s why we are waiting!

Thanks for the update the condition after sitting for so long has certainly been on my mind and am sure others as well. Congratulations and enjoy it!

UGH!!! I live in Orlando too. I feel like it would've made sense to park these trucks on Ramp59 based on region. ??‍.

That truck looks amazing, and look at you parking it in a nice area and taking that picture at a sick angle. Haha. Nice and congrats. Get some sleep!

How do you interpret the delay? I see max tow is 8-10wk delay. Its been 111 days since order accepted and 65 since production date. According to visual reports, truck was on hold at plant for chip so does that mean I'm all clear on the max tow delay? We took the spray in liner and wheel well liners off when we signed the deal, see that is still an issue.

The way I read it, there is a 26-28 week lead time to start then an additional 8-10 week delay for max tow so 34-38 weeks? That is for F150, anything higher starts with a 30-32 week lead time plus any additional delays
