Chat is usually able to provide updates if you get a change date to the tracker.

Not this time.

Chat is pretty quick to pass me off lately .. just said "In Production, Dearborn, pending update" and referred me to call Marketing.

Damn, well regardless, that has to be a good sign! Getting jealous of all of you making progress!

Let’s hope this is the week, it’s got to be.

That’s what I keep telling myself… this is the week we all at least get out of Dearborn.

My truck just switched to shipped today! ?

Been looking into flights to Granger this past weekend. Also been looking into insurance online and just have to see a broker this week and will make a decision. Also changing policies and deductions on my car and Harley because rates have increased so much. Progressive is by far the cheapest so far but will see what the broker has to say regarding coverage/cost tradeoffs.

Well.. my 5/24 update in the tracker shows (via dealer):

- Hold off site
- Hold off site return
- Hold off site.


It does have 44.74 miles now, vs 41.4 last time we checked.

Well that was fast. Tracking changed again today to final preparation at the dealer!

Dealer will contact you soon

The dealership is making the final preparation for your new vehicle, they will be reaching out to you soon to set up your delivery!


EDIT (Later today) - Dealer contacted me and verified that they have the truck and are inspecting it.

If you ordered I high end trim, you might want to view Grangers reply today on this thread here about delays (I only ordered an XLT).

I don't see any Granger replies on this thread today. What did they say?

Oops that was on a different forum. Here it is. Not sure if it also applies to older orders such as ours though.

A quick update for anyone who's ordered a 2024, even if it wasn't from us.

We've had plenty of allocation available, but we are struggling to get some of the higher end trims scheduled with a VIN. This is a Ford commodity issue and most likely not an issue with your dealer allocation.

We have approximately 90 F-150 orders sitting in the system waiting for a vin to be assigned. 30 of them are Platinum or Platinum Plus, 14 are King Ranch, 26 are Lariat (19 of which are black appearance), 14 are Tremors.

Again, we've had plenty of available allocation, but commodities have restricted the production of the higher end trims, we are accepting orders for 2024 F-150s by email ([email protected]) but if want to order one of these trims mentioned above, please expect a longer timeline from order to delivery.

Looks like this is mainly for folks that haven’t been scheduled yet, but could be related to why our builds took longer than some?

Thanks for sharing!

Yeah.. I was gonna say.. mine's been on a few trips to lunch, so not a constraints issue for me.

Almost feels like they are holding the recently built ones to get the Job 1 trucks through QC (trying to keep some sort of order). Irritating. lol

That's what I figured. I have been following these forums for a while and it looks like the ridiculous wait times, some still waiting from last year, almost every time apply to the higher end models. Anyway, hopefully everyone will see some movement now.
