Every week is another delay from Ford

[mattd0606]

I place my order on 12/16/21 for an XLT 302A 6.5 bed Powerboost with most available options. My dealer rep told me, when we were putting the order together, that it might be August 2022 or later before I should really expect delivery. Surprisingly to me, Ford immediately confirmed my order, & sent me a VIN & a scheduled production date for the week of 2/28/22 in early January. I just got an email a few days ago pushing my production date out until the week of 3/14/22. I will be pleasantly surprised if I get delivery by early May. Good Luck to all who are waiting for their truck!

Its a good thing you live in Obscurity or else some of the other members on this site may come looking for you after getting a build date that quickly. haha

Mentally preparing myself for another delay e-mail tomorrow. Started 3/21, then got a 3/28 e-mail a week later, it’s been two weeks since the 3/28 build week e-mail, ready to become an April job 2…

I ordered a 302a, supercrew, 6'5 bed FX4 sport. (non PowerBoost) on Jan 15, 2022. My salseperson advised I got a VIN Feb 1, 2022. Started to track it on the vehicle order tracker but now I can't.

I've never received any emails or messages in FordPass from Ford. Do you need to sign up to get updated? I am in Canada if that makes a difference.

I was just given a production date of 3/28 as well.

Any differences between Job 1 and 2?

Ordered my F-150 XLT Sport Powerboost on 12/21/21, blend date shows 2022/03/30, been showing up in "Production" since 04/01/22, seems appropriate it was on April fools day. Called my dealer, they don't know any more than I do. Anyone else have any info??

Talk to Ford Chat with your VIN, they might be able to give you an update if you're on chip hold or some other form of delay. Or maybe they'll give you a railcar number. Give it a shot, and chat back if you don't get anywhere. Success with Ford Chat seems to be dependent on whether or not you reach someone with initiative.

Order placed on Jan 24, 2022 for 22 F150 Lariat 2.7L Ecoboost with 502A, deployable running boards... No VIN yet. Dealer told me that the reason is the huge delay of deployable running boards supplier...lol

Since this thread is alive again, I thought I would share the quickness of my dates getting pushed.

Ordered 1/15.

Got an email on 4/14 from Ford stating my build week is 5/16
8 hours later on 4/14, got an email from Ford pushing my build date to 5/23
6 days later (4/20) got an email pushing my build date to 5/30.


Holding strong at 5/30 *fingers crossed*

Used the Ford Chat and my F150 is completed, waiting on 1 chip, showing ETA of 05/01/2022. WAY more helpful than my dealer.

Same here. Check my signature for my details. I sit right next to you.

I placed my order for a 2022 502A Lariat in Space White with the FX4 package and just about every option available on 12/18 through Dexter at Koons Woodbridge. Last night for the 3rd week in a row I have gotten an email from Ford notifying me that my build has been delayed by a week. Is anyone else experiencing this? Was originally given 3/7/2022 build week the latest email is 3/28/2022.

Yup. I ordered late last year, got a VIN and scheduled pretty quick. Blend date of 1/06, received the built email from Ford 1/26 and since then it’s just been shipping delays of two weeks at a time.

Apparently my fully built Platinum has been sitting in a lot since January. Ford’s retail process is a joke.

That's what I thought too, hence my "in production" truck is stuck there, and my 2nd order is continuously delayed too. I've seen a F150 Lightning thread here where they mention that FMC is now actually NOT adding those running boards as options any longer.
