FYI, there were three of us on this string that are from the Houston area whose trucks got to the Westfield lot within a few days of each other. Looks like the time at the lot, before delivery to the dealer has been between 10-18 days. That gives you a small window in delivery expectations.
Mine hit Westfield Jan 11 and was delivered the 23rd, and I picked it up yesterday, the 24th.
yeah mine hit Westfield on Jan 18. Last message from my sales guy was they'd have it tomorrow the 26th. The Ford tracker says Estimated Delivery 01/21/2023 - 02/03/2023. She's paid for and I've already bought her some jewelry. Just need to take her for some new shoes and tint on her glasses.
For what it's worth, the details are here:

Great! Mine is in the same lot and has been there for a week. I got an email from Ford last night that updated my delivery to 18-24th, so I’m hoping it’s at least going to be delivered in that window. Don’t want to be discouraging, but that’s the reality for me right now.
is yours going to Planet Ford? That's where mine is headed. It's literally a few miles up the road. Pray to God it doesn't take a week or more.

Y'all aint gonna believe this but it looks like I finally shipped. I've been checking the order tracker everyday. Checked twice today and on the second go round I have the magical partially filled blue circle. Wish I could get some dates.
Hey y'all, just thought I'd update to give hope to others. My truck shipped on Jan 10. As of 10:11 AM today Jan 18, she's now in the UP yard in Westfield, TX which just down the street from my dealer in Spring, TX. She's almost home. I will probably have a few more days wait as I am getting some modes done at the dealer (bedliner, cover, level kit). Dealer says they have a few trucks ahead of me for lift kits.
8 days from Louisville to Houston ain't bad. Good luck to all.

I messaged Corri again and received the below response. Probably just best to continue to wait at this point.

No updates as of yet. Everyone is playing catch up due to so much time off for the Holidays. I am hoping to hear something soon. I will touch base as soon as I hear something.

Which dealer are you using? I see you’re in Seabrook…I’m in South Houston, but I’m using Tomball. They’re keeping me updated on mine. I ordered mine a few days after you in February but mine wasn’t produced until mid November. It was loaded on rail last weekend and is scheduled to be delivered next Friday.
Is your salesman helping you like that?I am in Richmond, TX. I ordered from Planet Ford in Spring because of F&F discount. Order on 2/17/2022. In production 9/12/2022. Built on 9/22/2022. Still waiting to ship.

I called Ford New Vehicle Support around 1748hrs Houston time today. The rep said that the ETA for my truck shows 31 December but they do not have transit information. I said that means it has not shipped and she stated that they "only get updates a couple times per week". She said that it could've shipped or could be still in KY and to call back Friday to see if there was an update.

Posted from Ford tremor forum from another user:
I received some deep insider information minutes ago from someone at KTP. All trucks will be completed and shipped/ removed from the books before Jan 1. This means all the Speedway trucks will get their final part(s) and be shipped...or at minimum be on the way to be shipped. They end production later today and start finishing awaiting trucks tomorrow. Another thing, ramp K1 is not a ramp at the railyard, it's essentially an offsite storage lot to be pulled from when rail car space allows. I suspect they will start shipping from that ramp and other ramps by the train loads very soon! Also, I'm sadly not the only 9 month delay in shipping, there are currently over 300 in that same status awaiting shipping. Those possibly may take priority depending on how buried they are in the sea of trucks. So it sounds like they are making an end of the year push to get them out and shipped. Good luck to anyone waiting to be shipped. If you didn't get a vin and scheduled already, enjoy your 2023 model.
Really hope this is good intel. This would be a welcome birthday present for tomorrow if my truck ships today or this week.

Here's my theory; Ford is blaming the back-log of trucks at the speedway on the rail carriers not providing enough capacity. I suspect that the rail lines are providing the same as they always have, but cannot provide ADDITIONAL capacity. My understanding is that MOST truck coming off the line are complete, no holds. Daily capacity is somewhere around 800 trucks, and this is volume of trucks the carriers can accommodate. Ford is apparently only operating at 70% production capacity. I believe they're shipping upto 600 trucks per day off the line, and pulling only 200-300 per day out of the Speedway. Using optimistic numbers, it'll take 4-1/2 months to catch-up. Hopefully while the plant is shut down for the 22/23 changeover, they'll continue shipping and can whittle-away a good number of the Speedway trucks. Fingers crossed.
Last evening, I received notice that Ford wouldn't meet the 3rd delivery window they'd provided me of 12/13-12/19 (duh), and updated it to 12/23-12/29. Only punting it down the line by 10 days vs a month this time. From what I can see/tell, the truck still has not "Shipped," and it's a long way from KY to WA, so I'm not holding my breath.
Does Ford ship everyday of the week? I just trying to get a sense of when things move. Soemtimes I feel like checking the tracker site on the weekends is a waste.

Merry Christmas to all. Figured I'd join the pity party. My truck has been "built" since Sep 22, 2022 and has just been sitting somewhere in KY. Details-
2022 F250 Platinum, rapid red, turbo diesel
Order confirmed - Feb17 2022
In Production - Sep 12 2022
Dreaded chip hold...
Built - Sep 22 2022
I can't imagine it takes three months to ship but then again I work in supply chain and have experience a lot of headaches since covid. My "ETA" has been pushed every week since Sep 25.
My poor sales guy is helpless and had to hear the wrath of my wife. At some point, I might as well throw my hat in for a 2023 as I am giddy about the onboard power.
I've emailed Ford Corp. I've called Ford Corp. Hell, I even went to KY myself, Wish there was a magic trick to get trucks to moving.

Hello All,
New guy here. Joined to learn and share experiences. Ordered a F250 Platinum in February 2022. IT was finally built in Sep 2022. Unfortunately, it is still sitting in KY waiting for shipment. Looking forward to connecting with you all.
