Ford is consistently inconsistent. Have been told my Platinum PB is produced and no chip holds. Now in chat just now that story has changed. I am on a chip hold which I fully suspected.

I've got an XLT and my dealer told me a few days ago it is expected to arrive on Monday, 8/29. However, last night I got an email from Ford saying truck is built and eta is 9/4-9/9. Tracker just says awaiting shipment at this point.

Being from SE Michigan, over half the people I know work in the auto industry. Just so happens I got a guy on the ground in the plant today and he is going to check around when he gets a chance. I told him if the truck is there to drive it back for me...lol.

As PaulO stated, we all knew the inevitable chip hold. Dealer told me, the more content you have the more likely the order gets delayed.
Hey @Jethro I love your recon for sure! Can you tell him to throw some chips in this build week please? We will make it worth his time ?

Finally was told chip hold also. Wish Ford would be more transparent. Also, I understand not wanting to shut down the line but this luck of the draw is bs.

I was hoping the life raft would stay afloat but she's taking on water faster than i can bail it out. Was just told by customer service on chip hold. ETA on completion is somewhere between today and much later. Anyone have any idea on what happens to trade in value? I've put over 15k on my current truck since placing this order.

Kelly blue book changes every 2 months on values. So the new book comes out in October. The value will drop then. Also you will get a hit for mileage. Use to be a used car manager at a ford dealership. Also the Kelley blue book they use at the dealership is different than the one you see online.

edit: the new book comes out in November. But since you placed your order the book has changed numerous times. @BigDaddy

Although I didnt want to hear that, thanks Blackout. Feels like i'm going to inherit another Ford problem.

I bought my wife a new car last December. It was a Grand Cherokee L that the dealer had ordered and was already in transit. They gave me an initial estimate on my trade-in. It came in a few weeks later. The dealer said they always re-appraise the trade-in on the day of the transaction. That makes sense since someone could have wrecked/damaged it, or put a lot of miles on, since an initial appraisal.

2022 Platinum Ordered
Got the same message from Ford Chat:
"Your vehicle is still in production. It is currently on hold waiting for a micro chip."

I asked when the chips are expected to be received and they said estimated dates are 8/22-8/28.

When I chatted with ford today they said my eta is still the same 9/7. They said the truck is produced and no chip hold. Whatever…I will get it some time in September and hopefully with a little rebate too ??

I was bored at work so I decided to bug Ford chat. I asked how long I would be on chip hold. (no 720 chips) I got a 10 Sept ETA. LOL! They would not admit my truck is on chip hold. I got the " in production" and contact your dealer BS. I am beginning to see blue label dealer ordered F150s on dealers lots with blend dates two weeks before mine!! I would not recommend anyone retail order a F150 unless you can stomach Ford's BS and lack of concern for retail customers

Just chatted with my dealer, new eta is 9/5 - 9/9. The old eta was today. He didn't mention a chip hold, but we all know that's the case.
