Thank you for the info. My son and his family live out there. As for the truck, most excellent color choice. I have practically the same truck except mine is a Supercab with the Godzilla motor and a matching cap. You might see it every once in a while as we do come out to visit from this side of the state.

The wait for the rest of the time is maddening. I couldn't wait till I got my 2020, kept checking the sticker for updates every few days. The email thing must be sometime this year. Never got emails from Ford last year when my truck was being built.

I give Ford an A+, Dealer financing an A+, Sales a F!
Everything was going good until the final sales. I was trading in a 2017 F150 that was flawless. Had extra goodies that were factory or dealer installed. Could sell it for the very top dollar (which they did). I probably could have sold it myself but no time. The truck had just gone out of warranty by a month. Sales tried to lo-ball me by saying the price he was offering was because the warranty had just expired. Truck originally bought there and serviced there.
Then they told me the paper I was filling out was to expedite the paperwork. Then when my wife showed up, she told same. They actually ran our credit when they knew it was a cash transaction. What a shady sales group (West Hills Ford). I will NEVER deal with them again.

Hello,
I owned a 202 F150 with max towing package. I have an 8500# Trailer and live in the PNW. Going over the passes was quite a chore. I had it porpoise alot and go side to side. I used to have a Silverado with more stability. I upped my truck from the F150 to an F250. What a difference. I am glad I did. No porpoising or little side to side motion. Drove in a storm over Snoqualmie pass with 30-40 mph winds and the F250 handled it flawlessly. The F150 is best for 10,000 lb towing for straight, level ground (like the Central Valley in Calif.)

Hello,
I also had to have my windshield replaced because of a rock. The glass place could not save my sticker and it was a sad day. I have proudly displayed the truck/ all stickers and would love to find out how I can get a new one. Thank you.

Yes the 7.3 ,we had a F-150 max tow with the heavy duty payload package. It was a great truck but it was an XL. We wanted to upgrade but couldn’t get a F-150 with the same package but with the lariat features so moving up the the super duty was the way to go.
I had a 17 F150 XLT, Max Tow, 3.5 TT and 36 gal tank. My oil pan leaked and I am on my 4th pan. Poly plastic pan. It has leaked the last two times when getting oil change, so decided to upgrade. F150 towing in the PNW is really maxed at about 8000 lbs. My trailer is maxed at 8000 and towing was a little sloppy. So went with a Super Duty for more stable towing and the bigger gas 7.3L because only do weekend towing about 6 times a year.

First of all, I'm the only one here so when you ask, you are asking me for assistance.
Secondly, pick 1 source otherwise you are second guessing everything and stressing out for no absolutely reason. Be smart - I mean, does it really matter that you need an up-to-the-second account of everything? Is it actually going to change anything or make it better? No. Can you influence it at all? No. If you read my rules to post here you would know that obsessive behavior like this isn't welcomed. I realize you are probably excited, but you get 1 update per week at most and that is all I can do.
Now if that is good enough I have an update for you. If you need constant updates go somewhere else.
Your vehicle started Production yesterday. That's it. It isn't done and there is nothing beyond that yet. Now just relax.
Sorry, I did not realize that it was only you moderating this thread. I know I cannot influence anything and speed things up. I have been like a kid waiting for Christmas to get here. All I asked for was one update. I really do appreciate that.I did read the rules on the post and this is my first time asking in this thread for an update. I understand that this is voluntary to look things up and you taking you time for that. I do appreciate it. Since I know it is in Production, I won't ask again. Thank you very much.

I've got one ordered, should be delivered SOON 2020 F-350 Super Cab!!
Have you taken delivery yet? I ordered an F250 Supercab Lariat with the 7.3, do not have it yet. Supposed to be built today by Ford's site, but have not heard anything yet.

I have had my VIN# 1FT7X2BN3LEC42917 since Nov 14th. I got access for the window sticker on 1/16. The latest from the dealer was Scheduled to day of 1/27, but the Ford tracking site says "In Production" and I have been following another that has it as "Sent to Plant". That was back on the 16th. Could someone lookup and see if my truck has been built or not and if not, what possible day it is supposed to be done. Thank you very much. John

Vehicles are not necessarily produced in sequence by the VIN numbers. There are a lot of different commodity issues that can cause the scheduled production of a vehicle to be pushed back and commodity issues/restrictions can vary by region. Trim (XL, XLT, Lariat, etc.) wouldn't cause a delay nor would the powertrain. There has to be a particular option on your order that caused the scheduled production to be pushed back due to a plant constraint, supplier problem, etc. Your Dealer should be able to tell you why your vehicle status changed. If they don't know they can contact their Ford Zone Manager or the regional scheduler for the answer.
Did talk to the sales guy. They do not have an exact reason and seems like they didn't want to contact the regional people. I did find that an F-250, just like mine with the exception of the front seat, was sent to production. I have been finding out that most vehicles that have been being built is with the 40/console/40 seats and not the bench in leather, which mine is the 40/20/40 bench. That is the only thing I can figure. Thank you for all your help. I will just have to wait until mid next month to get my vehicle. When I do, I will post pics.

@ice-capades, When looking at the scheduling as you have posted, it shows F-Series Super Duty. I special ordered retail my F-250 from the dealer on 10-18-19. There were two F-350's special ordered retail on 11-8-19 from the same dealer. When it came to the week of 11-18-19 scheduling week, all three trucks were given VIN #'s with the last 5 #'s in sequential order (42916, 42917, 42918), with mine being the one in the middle. One of the F-350's was an XL with the 7.3 motor and the other was a Lariat with the 6.7 motor. Mine is an F-250 with a 7.3 motor. The two F-350's have been built and shipped but my F-250 was pushed out to 01-27-20. Could there be a reason why pushed out that far from 11/18?

There have been 2020 trucks all over here in the Pacific Northwest arriving at dealers. There is one issue I have seen is there are no Velocity Blue trucks here yet. Mine is ordered for a Velocity Blue color, before some of the "Special Order" trucks at the local dealers and mine is not supposed to be built until week of 01-27-20. Any word about the paint for the blue? Taking a stab in the dark as to why mine is pushed out and there are two other trucks that were ordered after mine, with last 5 in VIN in sequential order and one of them is a 7.3, so I know not a shortage with motors issue. Any speculations or known facts will help.

Thank you @ice-capades for this info. My dealer said that it was scheduled for week of 11/18. I had the sense that my F250 would be built around 12/16, and I was right by this info. If actually built on 12/16, there is a chance I might get it by 12/31. It is a stretch, but there is hope.

The API is working
Just give it a try, replace my VIN with another one. (Best results in Firefox)
You only will get a result if there is "market":"US" in the database. We have "market":"WDMO" while WDMO stands for Worldwide Direct Market Operations.
Try the direct link to API given above.
Thank you for the link. I did just as you said and replaced your vin with mine. Came up with the whole build sheet. It does say "Scheduled to week". My scheduled week must be on someone's sheet or in another program somewhere to know when the actual week it is scheduled to be built. But did see everything I have ordered. Also does have the the window sticker number. Just which program to pick it up is another issue.

Well that’s impossible to answer without more info on how you’re going to use it.Just really going to tow my 8500# (32'10") travel trailer. Possible to go up to an 11000# travel trailer. That is about it. And some dirt/rock moves.

Any one who does read this topic later, get them when you order your truck. The price for the 2020 guards is the same for all four, but if you order from parts, it will be double because when you go thru parts, you will be paying for $130 a pair. And if you want all four...

Right now have a 2017 F150 with the 3.5 TT. I am looking at an F250 with the 7.3 gas. Should I stay with the F250 or up to the F350 and why. Thank you in advance.

I had a neighbor who had put an Air Lift Load Lifter on his F250 suspension. Does it increase payload at all or just help with ride height?

I have an Undercover Flex on my F150. The panels hold approx 400 pounds each on top, still looks good after 30,000+ miles and has the same marine grade carpet on the underside as their mate, Bedrug, which I also have. It does cost ~$800.

I have a 2017 F150 with SYNC 3 and when I have SiriusXM as the source and am listening to one station, when I switch to a different station, the station will change but the station name on the screen does not. Does not work when go thru all three presets for XM. When I change the source to FM or AM and go back to XM, then it works again for a few minutes then locks up. Updated the radio and still have the problem.
Pass Door Lock Intermittent

I have a 2020 F250 with the same issue. It is like the lock itself is sticking. The electric actuator sounds like it is attempting to either unlock the door or lock it but the lock just sticks. Was the worst when real hot outside. Cooled down and started to rain again and it worked for one week. Now not working again. Anyone else had a fix for it.
