2022 F150 Platinum Star White Powerboost 4x4, Carmelo interior, fully loaded EXCEPT FX4 (unavailable with CCD/Scales), MAX Tow (in my configuration, the ONLY thing Max Tow offers is an upgraded bumper AND the price is still $2,040),

Order Date: 2/8/22
Blend Date: 3/31/22
Build Date: 4/2/22
Built Email: 5/29/22
Shipped Email: 5/31/22

Now your just gloating. Another platinum order in less than 4 months from order, built a week before my Aug MY21 rollover platinum. I am still on hold at least for 2 weeks more. Please don't twist the knife and tell me that you still have active park assist.? ?

Kevdog, Have they always called it a chip hold or have they said plant hold in the past and now you are on chip hold? I have been on plant hold since 4/8 and when I have talked to Ford (several times) they say I am not on chip hold, but am on Plant hold. I believe I have all my asbuilt modules, how about you? Just curious if people are going back and forth between plant and chip hold. I also wonder if they are the same thing and the Ford Chat just doesn't know the difference.

Haha, yes, I have everything. Nothing got deleted. I was a bit put out knowing my truck was built and sitting in a field on chip and plant hold; however, after reading everything that was getting cut in April and May I felt blessed mine was already built. Sorry for the knife twist….hopefully it was subtle and tolerable.

Chip hold and plant hold are two different things. My truck had both.

I got the built email on 4/1/2022. My truck status was "Awaiting Shipping" for the 1st 6 weeks after it was built. Then it spent 3 weeks on "Plant Hold". As of late it has toggled back & forth between the 2, on a sometimes daily basis. Today it has reached the exalted status of being both on "Plant Hold" & "Awaiting Shipping". Curiously, according to Ford, it can only be 1 or the other, & they have no explanation, as to how it shows dual status in their system, but then again, in my experience, they never can really tell you anything anyway. Not that any of this really matters. What really matters is that 10 weeks out of "Built" status, THE TRUCK STILL HAS NOT BEEN SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!!!

They sometimes call it plant hold, other times microchip hold and even plant hold for microchips. Depends on which way the wind is blowing I guess

Probably different meanings to each person updating these damn orders.

Are most of the plant holds at Dearborn or does it seem to matter which plant?

Honestly, I don't think I've seen someone on plant hold in Kansas

Let me state here yet again for anyone who doesn't know, "Plant Hold" is Ford speak for, "Your vehicle has not shipped yet, & we are not going to tell you why"!

Exactly. Plant hold is not chip hold.
