Same here. 10/4 build week, sent to production on 9/29 and no changes yet. I have a bed liner and 5th wheel prep but noticed that the 10/4 trucks that have updated recently have taken 8 or 9 days after being sent to production to update. So hopefully we see some movement later today or tomorrow.

There are great instructions on the FTE forum here

Same here. It seems it's taking forever to finally move from "in production" to "built". I've been keeping an eye on the Public SD Tracker spreadsheet on FTE forums and so far only 1 truck that was scheduled to be built this week has moved out of "in production" status. Hopefully things start moving along soon.

Also worth noting, according to the 2022 brochure a F350 4x4 with 11,100# GVWR will have a payload rating around 4,260lbs. Even though that number will surely fluctuate it will still be way more than double the payload capacity of my 2014 F150.

I placed an order for a F-350 XLT CCSB 7.3 4x4 and it was "assigned" the same 11,100# GVWR. I specifically told the dealer I didn't want any package or option to decrease my payload since the whole point of getting a 1 ton truck is for towing my RV. So I figured that's the value that was assigned based on the vehicle specs and additional options I selected (which were minimal).

On 8/12 my truck was scheduled to a build week of 9/27. Then 10/18. Then 10/4. I was worried it would change again but was happy to see it move to "in production" a few hours ago. A few minutes ago the window sticker became available, too. I have the feeling tracking it once it ships is going to be difficult since my dealer hasn't pulled a VVR since I placed the order in early July and I think that's the only place you can get the rail car information from.

Mine's scheduled for the week of 10/4 but is still showing up as "in order processing". I really hope it moves to "in production" soon. Still no window sticker, either.

Your order info isn't added to that spreadsheet automatically. There's a form you need to fill out on the FTE forums in order to get your vehicle added.

My dealer did the same thing. The day before I was scheduled on 8/12 he texted me to tell me my order was "picked up" by Ford and that I could expect to get scheduled that week. Sure enough, the next day I got the email from Ford giving me my VIN and build week (though the build week has changed a few times since then).

You know what, I was wrong. I was thinking the original confirmation email from Ford had a "Track" button in it that took you to the page that showed the details of your order. But after checking again I see that's not the case. I made the change a month after I placed the order but before it was scheduled or had a VIN. I think the change to 4wd helped speed things along because I was scheduled the first Thursday after I made the change. Sorry about the mix up.

When I changed my truck from 2wd to 4wd the Ford tracker updated to show 4wd within a day or two. It also updated my order date to when I made the change instead of when I placed the order.

My state doesn't require a front license plate but I asked my dealer to add it to my order when it was submitted. There's a $0 cost so they can probably add it easily at the dealer once the truck arrives.

I think it just depends on the dealership. The first place I contacted when I was looking to place my order told me it was a $1k non-refundable deposit. So I called around and found another dealer that said they would refund the deposit if I decided I didn't want the truck. I would think that because of demand the dealer wouldn't care because they know they can sell it. But you never know.

I placed my order in early July with 2WD. I decided I wanted to upgrade to 4WD and contacted my dealer. He said since I didn't have a VIN or build week yet he could make the change. I had him do it and ended up getting scheduled a week later (on 8/12). I did notice in the tracker it shows my order date as early August (when my dealer made the change), not early July (my original order date). I also have the spray-in bed liner and have a build week of 9/27. So I assume the bed liner could be why it was scheduled so far out since my truck's a "lowly" XLT without any major addons.

I agree. The 2022 F350 XLT CCSB 7.3 4x2 I ordered has a 10,700 GVWR.

I placed my order on 7/5. F-350 XLT CCSB 7.3L 4.30 rear axle. Nothing too special as far as options...5th wheel prep, spray-in bed liner, fog lamps, running boards, center console and camper package. Ford marketing said it's "in order processing" but no VIN or date scheduled yet. I hope I get lucky and it gets scheduled on 8/12.
