Curious as to how long from Built emails to actual delivery. Just looking for some examples of what people have experienced. Thanks.

I don't think there's still a rule of thumb of X number of days. My 22 was built Feb 22, and showed up at the dealer in Oct 22. Missing modules were the delay. The truck I bought from a different dealer was built the week before my original order in Feb 22 and I would it off the lot in May 22.

There's been delays due to shipping and modules. Best to go check dealer stock and look at the as build date to get an idea on current times.

Wow. Seems like a long time from built to delivered. Hoping for a tighter turn around.

Mine was built 2/13 and stuck in production since showing built on 3/27 and I’m still waiting to be shipped. From what I gathered trucks being built now are shipped within the first couple days or up to 2 weeks. I told my sales guy I had enough, if it doesn’t ship this month I’m moving on.

Are you operating under the impression that the truck was shipped after the ‘Built’ email was received (no shipped notice/date provided)?

On a similar note, I do know the vehicle invoice Ford sends the dealer has an estimated shipping time in days listed on it. The estimated delivery dates we all get from Ford chat are just using this day count added to the last know check point.

I had "Guessed" that once it got to "Built" on the tracker 3/31, that it was released from the factory and just waiting to be shipped. (maybe wishful thinking) Chat told me April 21 - 27. Fingers crossed. I just really thought that the April 21 to 27 seemed like a stretch...

Gotcha!
I’m in the same position, my tracker was updated to “Built” on 3/21 and I’ve heard nothing since then. I hope it was shipped out on 3/21, but only time will tell...
I’m on the west coast, so transit time from KC is shown as 33 days (according to the Ford invoice).

there are a PLETHORA of responses for your question chief..
I know what you mean. No rhyme or reason. Guess I will know when the salesman tells me. I appreciate all the responses and guesses....Patience has never been my strong suite. (Except for hunting).

Finally, after 6-months from date of order, the tracker showed "Built" today and "scheduling shipment to dealer". At least some progress finally. Dealer said it takes approximately 3-weeks shipping by rail.
