F-150 Order Bank and Production Update - 7/31/21

[Granger Ford]

ORDER BANK STATUS:

Through a recent Ford update, we've received some good news in regards to Ford's retail ordering on F-150s.

As of 6/28/21 ther are 6,113 Retail orders in the system for the new F-150.

For comparison:
113,553 Broncos
18,416 Super Duty
6,113 F-150
5,919 Mustang Mach E
4,407 Explorer
38,798 Subtotal (Non-Broncos)
152,351 Total

I thought the backlog of retail orders would be much higher. So that is good news that the Retail orders are prioritized over stock. The biggest hold up we've seen is that the average retail order is coming in on the higher trim level (lariat or higher) versus the XL, XLT trucks that require less microchips for production.



PRODUCTION UPDATE:

Just wanted to drop a quick update for those of you who have ordered or are considering ordering a new F-150.

Raptor Update - There is NO Raptor allocation for this month's wholesale. That means no dealers will get more Raptor production unless they have received it already. The final month of 2021 Raptor allocation (there were only 2) will be next month and that will be model year build-out for 2021 (i.e. Last call for 2021).

Delivery Timing - For the F-150 your Delivery time goes as follows
In-transit - Expect it in August
In-System - August/September Delivery
Balance to schedule (doesn't have a VIN yet but in the system) - September/October
If you place a order today, expect to receive the truck in October at the earliest maybe November.

Plant Downtime - Both the Kansas City and Dearborn plants had scheduled down time in July. As of now, we are expecting both plants to be up all of August. At least they have not communicated to us dealers that they will be down.

Those bronco numbers are staggering!

 

[antimatter_plat]

Thanks for the update. It does seem like platinums are being delayed vs lariat orders. Are all higher trims on hold right now? Or are some still going though every week?

 

[First Ford Foray]

I've had a Bronco on order since February with no updates. Ordered a F-150 on 07/07, because I don't want to wait + its a bigger vehicle with more utility, and within a week I have a build week scheduled (hoping it holds).

For those who can help a lost young buck, if I have a VIN and build week does that place me in the 'In-System" category? Thanks in advance!

I too was seriously considering a Bronco, now I’m deff glad I went F150. Plus as mentioned its generally a more utilitarian/practical vehicle.

Shows the the Jeep Wrangler style vehicle is in demand and enough people don't want an actual Jeep for whatever reasons. Good news indeed for Ford, they just gotta get them out there.

Yes, if you have a Vin and build week, you are for sure in the system. By the release stated by the OP, you can expect delivery most likely in September or early October.

The only frustrating thing about this whole experience is watching my truck get built on schedule and then sit in Kansas City. Even if they said we are short drivers and provide updates or better estimates it would be better than what we currently have. Just give us something, anything! The Kansas mystery is driving me nuts.

And it’s not like the Bronco is that much cheaper than the F-150.

I see you have a Raptor update and word on the Tremor orders?

 

[Granger Ford]

Thanks for the update. It does seem like platinums are being delayed vs lariat orders. Are all higher trims on hold right now? Or are some still going though every week?

The higher end trims seem to take longer to schedule. This past week we didn't get any retail orders scheduled only stock orders that were 302A or 101A trims. They have those supplies more readily available and have to work them in.

I've had a Bronco on order since February with no updates. Ordered a F-150 on 07/07, because I don't want to wait + its a bigger vehicle with more utility, and within a week I have a build week scheduled (hoping it holds).

For those who can help a lost young buck, if I have a VIN and build week does that place me in the 'In-System" category? Thanks in advance!

Yes, it would place you in that category. What is your build date? I'd estimate you'd receive your vehicle 3-4 weeks after that build week.

I see you have a Raptor update and word on the Tremor orders?

They didn't note anything on our call. We will have to see how the weeks progress if there's any update on those. They only have 2 months to get all those scheduled and built, so I'm sure it'll be a heavy tremor mix these next 2 months.

With only 6k F-150s in retail status, if it was before Covid, they would have those all done in less than two weeks. These days, it could be over two or three months.

I have a Platinum EB ordered on March 18th, ship date 7/7, and the first ETA was between 7/27-8/2, just got an update today, it was changed to 8/1 - 8/7. Even though my vehicle is built, transportation issues are challenging. I hope they get this figured out soon.

 

[Merccat]

True. They also had some weird build restrictions… I wanted a manual transmission but the almost every other option I wanted prevented it so no matter what it would have been a compromise.

Where was your update from? So your truck is in Kansas awaiting transport as well? That’s at least 3-4 now off the top of my head I’ve seen waiting.

My update was from the official Ford site. My truck was built in Dearborn
