Ryanc3055 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Does anyone know how many Superduty's are on hold or back order I'm sure it changes from day to day but maybe an average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdm Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) I saw someone claiming to work at the plant say 251,000 in the order bank. Currently producing about 8500 per week. I have no idea how valid this information is. As already mentioned ford doesnt release this information publicly.

Back order? What’s that. My dealer says Ford has everything fixed. Your truck should be here by November at the latest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be down for 3 weeks at Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAP338 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Something to keep in mind is that COVP orders take precedence over dealer stock and fleet orders. Would be interesting to know how many of the 250k are COVP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waloud Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Yes we are building about 8,000-8,500 a week. Our order bank for the Super Duty is around 252,000 units. We will be shutting down at least 3 weeks for Christmas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not normal for a 3 week shutdown. We are usually down from the 24th to the 1st. This way our main. crew and outside maint. crew get time to do repairs and machine replacements. This year we are down for 3 weeks so they can start getting ready for the 2023 model. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the confirmation. As I stated originally, the additional 2 weeks of the plant down time were for reasons other than additional vacation time. Unfortunately, others started speculating that the UAW was involved. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eds Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Any idea when Ford Tracking information will be back up and running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ford.com tracking is working as well as its normal flakey self. The third party sites like the mache tracker and the FTE spreadsheet may never work again. apparently ford did some modifications on the back end and the API that fed the data to those sites no longer works. Its suspected the change was intentional and isn't just a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So at approximately 7.5mos worth of builds (w/o delays) in queue, I wonder what the cut-off will be and when they tell folks to re-order '23s? I would think Ford see's that they have enough orders to extend to August 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe FORD did not like people being able to track how trucks where being built (newer older VS older ones) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Ford see's that they have enough orders to extend to August 2023. Again the question is how many of those ~250,000 units are dealer stock, and how many are customer orders? Here and elsewhere I have seen that there are still orders from late spring that haven’t been scheduled, so I shouldn’t be discouraged that mine from mid-October is still in limbo. I suppose I have done everything I can do by removing the “nice-to-have” problematic options in order to help increase my odds for getting picked in the scheduling lottery.

waloud Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) We produce around 7600 Super Dutys a week. Edited December 11, 2021 by waloud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
