My first time posting though I have been following you all for a while now. I ordered a F450 Limited in September 21. The truck went into Production in May according to the Tracker (same time period others were saying their F450s were going into production). Got the Window Sticker and the BCE module codes appeared about second week of May.
Last week the dealership notified me that they got notice of an arrival ETA of mid-June. Meanwhile the Ford Tracker continued to show "In Production" so I though no way will it be in Denver by then. Interestingly the Window Sticker has now disappeared from the Ford Tracker. Two days ago talked to my guy at the dealership again and the arrival ETA had also been deleted on his end. There was now a message that the truck is on "microchip hold" with an ETA of October.
Called Ford Marketing yesterday and the rep looked in the status. He also said it was on "microchip hold" but could not give me any detail on exactly what is causing the hold. He did say it showed that it was produced in the main plant then sent over to an offsite facility and that is where there hold status was determined.
Just speculating but wonder if the Motion Seats could be the issue. Maybe Ford is waiting to see if they will get the needed components?
Luckily I have a sweet 2017 F350 DRW Platinum with only 20,000 miles so I can continue my summer plans. I will be selling the F350 but only if/when I have the f450. Attached photos are my current 2017.
