KC Backlog

[Xylo133]

I'm trying to gauge what the backlog will be when KC begins production the week of 6/14 (if they do). I ordered my truck on 4/15 and received a VIN on 4/16 with a build week of 5/24. The plant shut down the ensuing Monday 4/19. Who has build weeks planned in April and May in KC, what are the dates and has any of your data changed?

Mine:
Ordered: 4/15
Accepted & VIN: 4/16
Build Week: 5/24
ETA: 1990-01-01

Damn. I ordered a day after you and STILL don’t have a VIN.

Good luck on your build.

My thoughts exactly... the best way Ford can make money is doing what they do best... mass production on an assembly line. Not a la cart finishing of partly constructed vehicles from a parking lot.
while it’s not fair to those in the cross fire, ultimately they are collateral damage. Ford is going to do everything they can to restore maximum profitability, and that means pushing out completed units out of the plant, not idling the line so they can complete trucks in a parking lot.

Ordered 3/15
VIN # 3/23
Build Week 4/19 (start of the great shutdown)
Build Day 4/19
No updates since. Don't know of a post shutdown build date, no ETA, nothing. Hoping to be one of the first going down the line on 6/7 but who knows...

Any KC folks seeing updates on their pending builds from April 15 to now?

So annoying. Just pulled up a sticker on a local dealer. KC build with a sticker generated April 12 and Blend April 19. Shows delivered May 19 BUT the tracker has a weird ETA too…. 01-01-1980 (not 1990). So frustrating. My sticker was April 15 and originally supposed to be built April 22.

For those watching this thread. I saw a lot of movement on my truck in the past 7 days.
In Production date 06/16
Built 06/21
Now it is just awaiting shipment to my dealer. Seems the end is near for me.

 

[JayceeP]

Yup- guys with blend dates up to April 20 are produced. Not sure sequence # cut off but they’re up near 6,000.

My Truck has arrived! Going to pick it up tomorrow.
Unfortunately the trackers are not very well updated, as it just went to 'Shipped' yesterday. During the In Production phase, my ETA went from 08/16 to 07/26 to 07/16, and even now that it is delivered is still estimating delivery for 07/10-07/16. So hopefully some of you all get as early as a delivery as I got.

Ordered 03/15
Blend 04/19
In Production 06/21
Delivered 06/29
