  1. So I just got an e mail back from my dealer  the latest info on her VVR showed my truck is still sitting at the rail yard in Kentucky waiting to be shipped.  It was built on 3/4. 10 days later it’s still not shipped even though the tracker showed shipped!  I was told a lot of trucks are waiting on chips and other upfitter stuff, I do have the safe and fifth wheel prep.  The tracker shows a delivery date of 3/18-3/24

    don't think that will happen. :(

    Nothing so far. From what I’ve gathered you can get these emails any day of the week. Haha. But have seen people receive them Thurs-Mon in all seriousness. Hopefully thats not when they checked their email. Lol

    Nope, still shipped, dealer told me after looking at the VVR it’s still at the plant loading area possibly waiting on chip install. She will update me on the next VVR report

  3. Anyone know why the date changes on the bottom of the window sticker?  I read somewhere that it’s nothing.  It seamed to change after the truck was built, and after it showed shipped… if it really shipped. Lol 

    not that it really matters I’m JC.  Maybe just board waiting for my truck to hopefully show up!

    My truck least a KR has the garage door opener and folding power steps as well as the moon roof but that’s all included with the ultimate package. 

    a lot more is missing,.....safe, fifth wheel prep, tailgate step, all stuff on my build, my truck showed built on 3/4 and shipped 3/9.  I'm  not sure if it's really shipped I'm waiting on he next VVR to see if it was.

    I suppose so. It is my understanding that you just add the kit and plug it in. I could be wrong. The only video on youtube shows a guy adding it with a camera. I do know there were a couple of kits available on the build site when I was looking into it. I suppose the best thing to do is search on here or start a thread if you can't find one. I have a wireless setup that works good, so it is not s necessity to get it installed. I would like to get it on the dash though. I'd like get rid of some of the boxes and wires sitting in the cab with me and the wife and taking up USB plugs.

    Thanks

    CONGRATS! I am happy for you. I know some are getting them and many have dropped them. it is hard to say which way will get you a truck quicker now. I just had my dealer order my hitch today and it is on back order for a couple of weeks right now. Hard to say but I am pretty sure it will be here before the truck. We were looking at ordering the trailer tpms and so I went to the build site to see if I could get the part number there. Well, all that stuff is no longer on the site as most probably already know. The customer placed tpms, the customer placed camera, a whole bunch of add ons are no longer on the site. I then looked at a couple of dealer sites and most said out of stock. It looks like every nut and bolt is possibly going to be a roll of the dice. I am ready for a long bumpy ride. Anything quick and easy is just gravy! KInd of along the same lines...my wife told me the other day that, I think it is 5/8" bolts or nuts? Fastenal can't get for months as they are all on some ship stuck somewhere that can't be unloaded. We are pretty much totally dependent on other countries now so we can assemble things here.

    Enjoy your mew truck! Maybe you can take an extra ride for everyone waiting and smile for us since you have done your time. LOL

    Lol thanks, do you know if you can add the trailer tpms to a truck without it.  I wish I added it to my build as I have a fifth wheel trailer

    Here is an update to the situation. Yesterday I asked my dealer to add the hitch prep to my order. They tried a couple of times and they could not add the package. I was told the owner would talk to the Ford rep today and ask why. I want to thank them for making a sincere effort to help me out. At this point, I am happy to leave it off and add everything I want later just to speed up the delivery. There is a thread on here talking about how dealer orders are now being regulated at the regional level. I think customer orders are as well now too. I don't care to know the details about how Ford is dealing with the mess as I know they are making every effort to fill all orders as fast as they can. I ordered the things I can't install after I take delivery. I'll take care of the rest once I have a truck in my possession. I know little things around my farm are taking up to 4 times as long because I can't get parts or people to do the work I can't. Welcome to the new normal. Thanks to the folks in the forum, I am now well educated about my options and where to get the parts I need to build my truck like I want. Thanks everyone for your help and input!

    My truck was built 2 weeks ago with the fifth wheel prep, it is shipped!!

    The wait is over for my purgatory truck, did not mind the initial wait from the ordering process. Dec.4th placed the order, confirmed on Dec.9th with a build date and Vin#. First build date was 1-31, moved to 2-9 received email on the 10th that it was built! Fantastic right? Delivery on 2-14 to 2-21 super! Then the wait to be delivered 70 miles on March 4th. that is where I couldn’t understand the delay.  
     

    But it is here and the wait is over, good luck on all and the ones that are waiting. I’ll post up more photos of this 1% truck that Ford built for me.

    Nice looking truck! I have the same truck I’m waiting on delivery, except mine is a DRW… iconic silver and carbonized gray correct?

    Key word is 'might'. You never know; it could've made the last train out.  At least yours got built last week. Mine has been in production with no date on the tracker since the 23rd. 

    Mine went into production on the same day and showed built 3/3 it’s a pretty simple built f350 DRW lariat I do have the fifth wheel prep and safe.

    First of all, why would you not want the factory rake?  That's how the truck should look.  I think it is very odd when I see an unloaded levelled truck.  Makes zero sense to me.  That's not a working truck.  If you don't need a working truck, go buy a sedan.  

    Very true, when I’m using my truck for what it was designed for it’s perfectly level. With a leveling kit it would look like it’s sagging in the ass and I need more truck. I pull a 18,000 fifth wheel.

    Yes, its not working for me.  not on my phone or my computer.

    My truck shows built 2 days ago with an estimated dealer arrival date of 3/25, really excited until I talked to the dealer.  They said it might be sitting in the parking lot waiting for chips. ? I sure hope they’re wrong.  But they’ve been pretty straight up so far.

    I received the "your truck has been built" email this morning.  I am not sure that I believe since the tracker still says "in production" and the as builts aren't completely showing up.  I will believe it has been built when I see it in the parking lot at the dealership... LOL!  Ordered on 11/12.

    Me too at 4:10 this morning.  The e mail said your truck is built but the tracker still shows in production, it also gave a delivery date of 3/18-3/24 to the dealer.   Yesterday my dealer said it will be waiting in a lot for the final chips to be installed, probably 2 weeks.  Hopefully they are wrong....time will tell.  My window sticker has not updated nor is it showing on my ford pass account.  I figure if I get it the first week of April I'm doing good.  Ordered 12/13 F350 Lariat DRW value package with safe and fifth wheel prep.  no spray bed or AS.

    No. No change, I don't know how late the plant operates tonight or the weekend. Still hopeful but a little discouraged.

    My dealer showed me the production sheet on my truck today.  It is produced “yea I said it’s finished “ she yes but….. it’s now in a parking lot waiting for chips to be installed.  She said somewhere around 3/20 it should be finished.  I did look at fords web page for module as built data and it shows approximately 50 of thim installed and active. I checked my ford pass account and it still does not show up. I hopefully get it first week in April.

    Mine changed to 03/03 today. Originally was 02/24. Still don't have a date on the tracker under 'in production' though.

     

    Mine did not change  it still shows 2/23/2022 on the WS but on the tracker a date now showed up for production.  It was blank ,just a dot that showed in production.  Now it has a Date of 03/03/2022  i think that's a great sign!!!!  Hopefully it shows built soon!!!
