Dearborn Shut Down 5/17 - 5/30?

[Sfortener]

Receipt Date	2021-01-07
ETA End Date	2021-07-29
Production Date	2021-03-18

Still shows in production, it looks like I'll be waiting 7 months for mine

At least your ETA end date is in the future. I’m thinking I need to go find Marty McFly and Doc and their Delorean so I can go back to the future and place a 2nd order around 3-15 so my truck would here already

Mine was built 5/7 with wheel well liners, deployable boards, and max tow... Showed up at dealer about 4 hrs ago

Your options don't matter.

Your Dealership doesn't matter.

Your priority code doesn't matter.

It seems that if they pull your VIN out of the hat, you'll be getting the golden email from your dealer.

Here's hoping I get mine.

Interesting, that doesnt talk about the supposed limited capacity for next week at the Dearborn plant

 

[Whoosh]

And today I got this in a text message from my salesman! I haven't seen it in person yet but he tells me that I can pick it up Wednesday...Guess I'll be going by the dealership tonight after work to see it!

I'm not sure who requested this yesterday but... hope it helps

Ford tracker:
Built 5/7
ETA 5/25
Your vehicle will arrive at dealership between 5/19-5/25

Palsapp:
Put in VIN...null

Dealership tracker:
ETA 5/24


Fingers crossed but not getting excited until they call me and say your truck is here.

That's a little demotivating seeing that additional 8 to 10 for the Max Tow. My current tentative build week is 6/14.

Stopped by the dealer before work today (the whole seeing is believing thing) and I’m getting excited, I’ll empty the tools out of the 19' tomorrow and pick the 21' up on the way to work tomorrow afternoon! Oh and I did see that Ill fitting, plastic, lower cab corner cap, I’ll see what’s what, and what else is what tomorrow

Update:

both the KC and the Dearborn plants will be down the weeks of 5/31 and 6/7.

KC will operate on a reduced schedule 6/14.

• (91S) (BYPBL) – PWR 10-way driver seat adj – 6-8 week additional delay

6-8 for the seat in basically everything 302+ is even more crazy!

So,

Stopped by the dealer before work today (the whole seeing is believing thing) and I’m getting excited, I’ll empty the tools out of the 19' tomorrow and pick the 21' up on the way to work tomorrow afternoon! Oh and I did see that Ill fitting, plastic, lower cab corner cap, I’ll see what’s what, and what else is what tomorrow

picked up the new truck before work, everything seems in order...so mmmuch new crap to learn/absorb/navigate; first off, as much as I like the new truck I think I like the old grille better, (Yes, I know, It'll grow on me) I really like these new seats better than the 19; the next thing is both of the running boards deploy no matter which door is opened (I've read some "discourse" about how loud they are but I don't think they're any louder than the 15' or 17'), That's all I have for now

Thanks for the update, I was wondering and glade to hear it.

Hoping I'll see some update on my truck entering the assembly line tomorrow.

The Tracker for mine has an ETA date next week (5/24) as well!

Of course, it also says its 'In Production' as does yours. It has for 6 weeks now.

Not only that, but the Tracker shows no 'Built' date, no planned 'Shipped' date, and shows a 'Delivery' date of "Est. N/A".
(I'm choosing to interpret that as meaning Ford will ship it to my Estate in North America.)

I truly hope you receive your truck next week, after a long wait. As for me, I'm not getting my hopes up. I wish the best of luck to you, though.

Any update on your truck? 4 days from delivery! Good Luck!

Thank you, Sir!

Yes, I have an update. Coincidentally I just got off the phone with the Manager at my Dealership.

He told me that my truck had disappeared from his system. At my request, he then checked with the shipper and they have no record of it, so it’s not in transit. I then asked if the Order had been somehow cancelled and he didn’t think so since he would have been notified. He apologized for having no information, so there’s that.

I certainly hope you are having a lot more luck getting your new rig than I’ve had! Please keep us up to date and do send pics!
