Sorry to dredge up an old topic, but after taking my truck around town and on a couple of multi-hour highway trips, I’ve got a question. When the system is engaged and starts slowing me down, can I tell if it’s braking or just letting up on the throttle? I can tell when it’s braking for a more dramatic slowdown, and I presume the brake lights are illuminating. I would hate to get rear-ended because someone following (too closely) didn’t notice my slowing without the brake lights coming on. BTW, I really LOVE the Adaptive Cruise!

Platinum F-350 CCSB SRW 6.7 FX4 I need to subtract the Retrax tonneau cover and the other “stuff” from my ~3,400 payload to see what I have available. And when towing the camper, the WDH weight and tongue weight for the “real” number.

Carbonized grey.

My truck was delivered by United Road from the Petersburg, VA rail yard.

Again, thanks so much! Here are a couple of better photos now that it’s mine.

After ordering on 18 October, my F-350 Platinum CCSB 6.7 became mine yesterday (15 April), just under six months. No 5th Wheel Prep, no Adaptive Steering, no bedliner.

Cyberdman, thanks so much for your help with finding where my truck was in the process. Here are my first photos of it, and I will share better ones when I get delivery. FYI, it is just under six months since I ordered it (October 18th).

Hi Bulldog, I plugged my VIN into the United Road page and saw it, a load number, and the correct dealer destination. Have you any insight regarding getting more data? I am presuming my truck is still underway between KY and Petersburg, VA. Thanks, Joe

Happy Hump Day! Thanks for all you do. Any good news? 1FT8W3BT9NED70545

It’s like Daffy Duck numbering his feathers “for just such an emergency.”

Mine was built 21-28 March. I inputted the VIN on the NTSB site and got no recalls.

Thanks Cyberdman! To misquote Gabby Johnson in Blazing Saddles, “the end’s a nearer.” ?

G’mornin Cyberdman. Any news? The tracker has shown “In Production” with 21 March date since Monday. 1FT8W3BT9NED70545 Thanks, Joe

Your dates are my dates. I ordered 18 October and In Production on 21 March. Except for me, no date yet for Built. Congratulations!

Mine went into production on Monday 3/21, and I have heard nothing since. I contacted my salesman and from the VVR, it said: “Shows produced. Has not been released or assigned to a rail car yet. Does show a eta of 4/01-4/07“ I hope the ETA holds true. Has anyone else not seen a tracker update since Monday? Mine still shows In Production with the date. Nothing for Built.

A quick question on the production process. I have a date (21 March) under In Production on the tracker. I know it needs to go across the street for mud flaps, wheel well liners, and the bed step. Does that happen before or after I see a date under Built on my tracker? Thanks, Joe

Hi Art. I ordered my Platinum in October. It was first scheduled 13 January for a 14 February build week. I’m was pushed to the right a couple of times and is now “In Production” and “Sent to Plant” with a build day of Monday 21 March. F350 6.7 CC SB with moonroof, wheel well liners, mud flaps, and a bed step. No bedliner, Adaptive Steering, or 5th Wheel Prep (the latter two removed before Thanksgiving.

Your shared link worked for me! THANKS!

My salesman was going through and confirming my 240 price level (what was in effect when I ordered in October), reconfirmed my $3,000 PCO and X-Plan, and gave me the website to register for the $500 Military Appreciation bonus (www.fordsalutesthosewhoserve.com). I hope you can work with your salesman (and dealership management if necessary) so you get what you are entitled to.

I got a 26 March build to day from Cyberdman a bit ago. I stopped at my dealer to share with my salesman that I am “In Production” and asked him to pull a VVR. He did, and it shows that I’m scheduled to day 21 March! It’s going in the right direction! He seemed to think that now it’s in production and “Sent to Plant” (as of yesterday) that it will likely not be changing again. He was also able to print for me my window sticker. Which still isn’t showing up on the Ford tracking page. My suggestion (echoed here by many) is to work with your salesman/dealer. We had a wonderful conversation and he started looking for any other discounts I might be eligible for.

Yes, I asked Cyberdman.

Yesterday, no. Just now this morning, yes. My build week is 21 March, scheduled to day 26 March. No window sticker yet. No email notification.

I won’t refuse delivery on my F350. I have too much to lose: a $3,000 PCO, a $500 military cash back, and an X-Plan agreement price protected to October 2021. I will accept a couple of oil/filter changes to start with. And will negotiate for more depending on how long it takes to make the truck whole.

Depending on what features are unavailable, and for how long, will determine how upset I will be and the degree of compensation I will expect. I ordered a Platinum and expect the high tech standard features to be fully functional. If I didn’t want all the doo-dads, I would have ordered a lower trim level.

Happy March Madness Cyberdman, Have you any updated (hopefully good news) information? Order number M20M, VIN 1FT8W3BT9NED70545 Thanks, Joe
