2021 Space White Lariat SCAB 5.0 4x2
I placed my order on March 20, it's been received by FORD on 4/14 and all I have at the moment is my VIN #. No sticker, blend or build date, just annoying "In Order Processing" status. KC regular cab truck of course. $2K PCO will expire in July 6 and yes, I feel a bit disappointed.
Almost exact same story here…. Also KC.

Ask your dealer how long it sat as an unscheduled order because of their allocation limitations.
My dealer reached out the regional manager for an answer, couldn't give a definitive one. So he reordered the truck and the RM gave it a priority code of 1. Hopefully I'll get something soon.

My observation is if you ordered after 4/1 your F150 will be built in a relatively typical time frame. The line was black week of 5/17, 5/24 and this week, 6/7 because they ae out of parts. Trucks ordered week if 4/12 are already arriving at dealers. If you ordered prior to that you are in a holding pattern of one type or another. No idea when your truck will arrive but I would bet August or September.
I ordered my PB lariat on 2/5 and my truck is finally in transit arriving 7/25. There is finally some light at the end of the tunnel

Well after two weeks of supposedly being at a priority of 1, I called my sales guy to get an update since I still have no VIN. They called the Regional rep and he reached out to Ford to see why nothing has changed. We were told that the paint supplier for smoked quartz is not able to get any more for 2021 models. So, I can either pick another color, or wait until 2022's are produced. Ridiculous.
