I talked to my dealer today. My order is still sitting in the Ford order bank - no status other than that. They had no idea of when the VIN will be issued. Like others mention in this forum, there doesn't seem to be any way of predicting how Ford will schedule.

So the answer is that you believe it's the same - "run two crews" is the same as "run two shifts". I grew up near cities that had vehicle subassembly plants (Delco, Warner Gear, etc.) and the people working called shifts "tricks", as in "I worked first trick for three months, but now I'm third trick". Third shift could have also been a maintenance shift - or cleaning up / setting up for the next day's first shift. When the plants ran 3 shifts, that is.

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between "run two crews the weeks of . . . ." and the phrase "run two shifts the weeks of"? Both are used in this blurb. Do they both mean the same thing? Or does "crews" mean the number of production lines WITHIN the facility, where "SHIFTS" means the number of people needed to run ALL of the production lines for a given facility? Or am I just over-thinking this . . . . Just hush-up and wait for your vehicle to me made . . . .

Thanks to all for letting me join this group. I ordered an F-150 on June 08, 2021 - even with all of the news around production delays. Growing up we had - a 1972 Gran Torino station wagon, a 1974 Gran Torino four door (my grandmother's), a 1978 Bronco (that I used as a daily driver in HS and used at college), a 1986 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, and a 1991 Mark VII. The Mark VII was the first car I purchased on my own (and paid for on my own).
