How long does it take?

[RCVBAF]

We ordered our 2023 Heritage Edition 7/28/23. It went into production 9/14/23. It showed being built 10/04/23. I’ve been checking the Ford Vehicle Order Tracking site daily and no updates. How long does it take to be shipped? The site says it will take a few days to a week but, it has been over two weeks. The dealership says it’s still waiting to be shipped. How long should we expect to wait?

They are in the middle of a strike so no telling how long it will take to get your truck.

Just speculation but with strikes going on your truck might be held up waiting on parts. They have not had strike at the F-150 plants yet to my knowledge but they have been on strike at part plants. I don't think you have anything to worry about and you'll get the truck eventually.

It is my understanding that Kansas City went out yesterday. I'm not 100% on this and I'm not sure which plant is building his truck.

My ordered Dearborn truck took 27 days to ship once built, then 8 days to arrive one state away.

Thanks. I contacted Ford directly today. They said it was scheduled to ship November 1. I guess I see what happens.

I had my name on an inbound truck at a local dealer, 15 minutes west of Dearborn. The truck was built 9/27 and still hasn't shipped, it has no holds as per the dealer and my contact at Dearborn truck plant.

My original order, built 10/19, shipped on 10/23 and I picked it up that night.

These things get lost in big parking lots and nobody makes an effort to locate them.

Ours is coming from Kansas City. Looking forward to seeing it finally.

It will ship when it ships! Nobody can tell you how long. Ford shipping process has no real logic built into it. It just depends on logistics. Trucks built after yours may ship before yours.

Cheaper to ship by full truck load than half a load. Two different drops on the load, both customers charged for full load.

ok. I have been there and I have done that. My build date was 11/23/2022 at dearborn. Look in my signature for all the shipping dates that came and went.

I can tell you that my truck was listed as built, awaiting shipment for a few weeks, then updated to release to body company. The body company part is where the put in the spray in bed liner I believe. then it went back to awaiting shipment . My Truck hit the dealer lot sometime in late jan if I remember right.

Back then I put this spreadsheet together to help folks try to get a sense of what to expect. didn't really help too much but more info non the less.

Good luck. it was absolutely worth the wait for me. I love this truck.
