6/14 Build Week Club

[F150fan]

I have the exact build with most all features except tow package. Tow technology package only. Build week 6/7. Blend date 6/26. Tracker says still in production.

Plants were closed the week of 6/7. Hopefully you will get the "in production" check mark within a day or two. Seemed like 6/14 weekers trucks got built in a timely fashion.

@F150fan When did you get a date and/or in-production check mark when you compare it to the blend date on your window sticker?

No way! Everybody I know that wants a King Ranch wants that big ol' label on the back! I just like the AMB color so much that I want more of it. I'm also liking the Caribou wheels, whereas it seems like everybody likes the chrome.

Hopefully yours isn't heading south from Kentucky though if you're in Colorado.

Watch them deliver the truck to LA and then call me like, "oh you know what, this was actually supposed to go to some hunter in Colorado. Yours caught fire due to a faulty microchip so it'll be another 8-12 weeks." I honestly wouldn't be surprised at this point.

Mine is a Powerboost out of Dearborn. It left dearborn the 22nd.

I have a Platinum right now with the chrome on the tailgate. I hate it. I run a lot of really dusty roads when I'm hunting. The dust gets in behind it and no matter how much water you run through it you end up with dirt streaks down the tailgate. Also the 18" rims on the 600A vs. the 20's on the 601A were another factor in my decision.

My blend date was 6/16 (a Wednesday), which is when i got an "in production" date.

On 6/19 (Saturday morning), I got an in production checkmark.

On 6/20 (Sunday morning), I got an "in transit" status on this forum tracker, and I think it was on either Sunday evening or Monday 6/21 that I got the Ford tracker to give me a built check mark with a built date of 6/18. So, even though your truck may be built, it may take a day or two for the trackers to say it was built on such and such date.

While I initially thought that the 2-4 day delay in getting my "built" checkmark was the spray-in bed liner and Mod center add-ons, it really seems like it was just the trackers needing to catch up, if my complete build date was actually 6/18 two days after blend.

The forum tracker also has my ship date as 6/20.

My WS has a 4 July blend date but I have had the sticker and in-production bubble since 23 June. Wondering when they will actually get it underway.

Almost the same dates as mine. 6/18 blend, 6/19 built, shipped 6/22.

The shipped date, if going by train, is the day they loaded on the train. Not necessarily the day the train left. I have another guy 40 miles away with our trucks on the same train. His shows shipped 6/20 mine 6/22. the evening of the 22nd the train was in Battle Creek, only 120 miles from Dearborn. Guessing it took 3 days to load the train.

My understanding is that the blend date is what gets it underway. Sounds like they have all parts for your production and that the order has been sent to the plant (giving you the in production bubble), but it hasn't run down the line yet.

Being the eternal optimist that I am, I booked flights out to Des Moins for the 5th (ETA End date is the 6th for me). They're changeable so we can always adjust, but with a bit of luck my son and I get there in the afternoon, pickup the truck, get a good dinner and explore Des Moins a bit, and then make the long road trip back to NH.

Should be fun, a good time to get used to the truck, and certainly time to put the butt massagers through their paces!

Sounds like the guys out there need to build a small courtesy suite or two. LOL

From everything I have seen, "in Production" is just the fact that Ford has officially processed your order and will start putting the individual parts together to build the truck. The blend is the day all the parts go to the final assembly line to build the truck. None of the check marks and dates go on the tracker till that step is completed and the next step started. My order was a little different than most.

Ordered 3/29 at first dealer(order never sent to ford)
5/4 found out 1st dealer never sent order to ford.
5/6 first dealer order submitted to ford.
5/7 Friday 4 PM ordered at second dealer.( They contacted ford to explain what first dealer did)
5/11 Tuesday 9 AM given VIN and build week of 6/14, 1 priority.
6/18 blend
6/19 built
6/22 shipped Still waiting for delivery.

Interesting part, the first dealer give me a VIN on the truck on 5/7, and never cancelled it when I did. I still track it and to this day it still hasn't been given a blend date or window sticker, pretty sure Ford put a hold on it after my second dealer contacted them.

Checked Jack Coper transport site today. Shows my PB Lariat in Wentzville, Missouri, about 45 miles from me. Believe it will arrive my dealership this week. Sooner than the July 14th predicted arrival time.
