Order confirmed, May 11th, 2021. Nothing more.

No window sticker yet?

I’m in the 6/22 build club. Ordered on 5/6, VIN issued a little over a week later, with the window sticker following the week after. Status is “in production”. Hoping several are correct with assuming enough chips have been allocated for these blend dates for complete builds...fingers also crossed. Order: King Ranch Hybrid, 7.2pro power, spray in, etc.

I ordered May 4 and have almost the exact same timeline. BLEND is 6/21. Lariat sport, 7.2kW. Left out the spray in liner this time as it adds a bit of time onto the process. Being this is my second order I left that out as it added a lot of time.

My window sticker refreshed this morning. Still holding strong at 6/21!! How about everyone else?

6/22 blend date. I’ve had the sticker for a while and was originally for 5/24 week. My window sticker updated on the 11th and the Ramp One code changed from CC59 to CA02. Some of the other items at the top changed as well. I no longer have anything above Cert, TRD, BUMP or CAMP. My blend date didn't change.

When I received my VIN it had me scheduled for 6\25. Window sticker isn't available yet. Should I be concerned?

My window sticker updated yesterday too, still holding strong with at 6/22 blend.

I have a feeling that as we plow through June and get into July, tracker information might start getting more realistic and accurate.

Right now it's chaos at Ford as they try to deal with thousands of half built trucks rotting away in open lots while doing triage to allocate parts for either finishing those trucks or starting new builds.

A shipment of parts destine for the assembly line may or may not make it to the assembly line. It appears that entering information into the tracking system is a pretty low priority right now.

There is little or no triage for the half built trucks for at least another month or two. They are still scrambling to keep the parts flowing for the plants. They are coming off a two week closure because of lack of parts. They are delivering a VERY FEW (probably a truckload a week) of those half built trucks weekly to keep angry customers at bay. One of my dealers had a customer threaten to run his trade through the front door if his truck didn't arrive soon.

I live in Louisville, KY and there are tons of trucks parked in open lots throughout the area. I will say the lots are slowly beginning to shrink.

I don't think people realize the damage that comes from parking a vehicle for weeks or months at a time untouched.

I think a lot of those trucks needed "chips" or whatever when they were parked... but they need a whole hell of a lot more than that now before they can sell them as "new" trucks.

THAT'S why people who ordered trucks at the beginning of the year, saw them "produced" and parked waiting parts months ago are not getting them.

Those trucks are fcuked up!

I have little doubt that Ford will make them right (although look at all the rust issues) but it's not going to happen fast.

What they should have done is reissued people new VIN numbers so they could get the NEW trucks they ordered and set those fk'd up trucks aside for re-work.

Maybe there's a "legal" reason they couldn't do that but if you're one of those unfortunate people... I would go over that truck with a fine tooth comb before accepting delivery.

I'm curious how this is different than vehicles sitting on a dealers lot for months and months. Obviously back before the craziness of no inventory we are in now.

Ist, dealers vehicles are washed, moved and started weekly by porters. Very few sit for more than 30 days. 2nd, these vehicles are complete and tested, the boneyard are all trucks parked, incomplete and have not been touched for at least 90 days.

Makes sense. Thanks
