I never did get any explanation for the shipping delay but... FINALLY!!! My truck is "in transit" as of today & has a Canadian National Railway railcar #. Now if I can just figure out how to track it.

I know, right? Talked to my dealer again today & he's got multiple orders in the same limbo & he can't get any answers either. I did find out that I'm now bumped back to ETA July 23-27th. No surprise there. Just heap it on top of the pile of mounting disappointments & let downs.

I've made the rounds again over the last few days (dealer, chat & marketing), and again, all with the same response. Still "awaiting shipment", no holds with VVR secondary status only showing "released". There is no additional info on a reason for a delay. This has not changed for me in nearly 6 weeks. There HAS to be a reason these trucks aren't moving. Not knowing what the problem is, is adding to an already frustrating process.

I've been following your plight on another forum & feel your pain. Been waiting since ordering my truck nearly 9 months ago, also built w/ no holds and in the "awaiting shipment" with no explanation purgatory. I have to keep telling myself it could be worse & try to be patient (it hasn't been 90 days for me ...yet).

Just this morning I watched a video on You Tube from Tim at Long McArthur Ford in which he explains Price & Incentive Protection. About 5 minutes in he shows the Smart Vincent screen & the correct check boxes that need to be checked to pull past &/or current incentives & interest rates. It's one screen with different check boxes. I've been waiting for my truck since last October so I'm pretty sure incentives/ rates were better then than now. I hope I understood the question correctly & that this is helpful info.

My order date was 10/7/21 & I just got my VIN a few days ago with build date of May 23. (Not holding my breath on that build date though) My mantra through this process has been " Hope for the best & prepare for the worst"

Order date was Oct 7 for my XLT Powerboost (RR with BAP). Crickets since then but I just got a call from my dealer that it has finally been scheduled & gave me the VIN. He thinks I may get it sometime in June. Not going to hold my breath on that quite yet but progress is progress.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. Much appreciated ? Sales Code: F74927 Order Code: 4772 VIN: 1FTFW1ED9NFB29191

Don't feel bad, my order date was Oct 7 & still not a word back on current status... BTW It is a Rapid Red Powerboost with the BAP

My '21 F150 was (ordered in April) was finally built & shipped the first of Oct. It arrived at my dealer Oct 13 but it never appeared in this app so your mileage may vary.

Most recent email I received said the Bronco Big Bend I reserved in the first hours the window opened has finally been built & has shipped. Delivery window to dealer is 11/8 -11/14.

As mistafu says: "nothing has been normal". 21 weeks of waiting for me. Truck finally built on Friday & is allegedly "in transit". Hang in there.

I haven't been able to find any photos or renderings but did find this article at Ford Auhtority with some info on the 2022 Black Appearance package option. https://fordauthority.com/2021/09/2022-ford-f-150-to-gain-xlt-black-appearance-package/

Ha-Ha, this comment made me chuckle. I am still driving my 2009 Ford with a 6 CD changer. The same 6 CD's have been in it for probably 5 yrs & I can't remember the last time I listened to any of them.

I was excited when they announced the Lightning & seriously considered it but have to admit the range was one concern. Until the EV charging infrasturcture gets more established & widespread I expect others might be somewhat reluctant as well. I ended up opting for the F150 Powerboost for now.

Nice! I'm still driving my '09 Escape FEH Ltd. & remain partial to that older boxy body style.

I'm thinking of doing the same since I've also opted for the Powerboost. I've never purchased a ESP for any of the 5 Fords I've owned so kinda new territory for me. My truck is supposed to be built today so better put on my research hat & figure it out.

I sure hope not... My 3rd build date is now slated for Sept 30 & I was just able to pull up my window sticker. Fingers crossed.

Thanks. So much to learn about this whole process.

Gotcha... Thx for the clarification

Well that is encouraging information. My 4/26/21 order (F150 4x4 Powerboost) was originally a "10" priority but my dealer recently told me it was changed to "02". Whether it speeds things up is yet to be seen . Original build date was 9/8 but last week got bumped to 9/21. Time will tell.

Put in for a 4 door with a hard top right when the reservation window opened up. Eventually changed course & am now waiting (among many others) on my '21 F150 Powerboost. Considering the hard top issues I'm feeling prety good about my choice.

I suggested to the dealer that it might be the EVAP but turns out it wasn't. Ended up replacing the fuel filler neck. Had no fueling issues on the 100 mile trip back home.

Halfway through a 1000 mile trip I started having problems getting fuel into the tank. Each time I tried to fill up, the pump acted like I didn't have the nozel inserted & wouldn't click on to begin fueling. At one point I was able to twist the pump handle at a weird angle to get some fuel into the tank but could not get the tank full so had to keep stopping to add more. Any clues about what might casue this all of a sudden?

Great info, thanks!!
