Status has changed to ‘In Production’ and it did generate the window sticker. Happy to see any sign of progress! Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was quoted as 12/9/2021, but doesn't look like it will make it until this weekend at the earliest. It is finally in the same state as me though, about 90 miles away. If it delivers this weekend it will come at the high end of the average delivery window and about 9-10 days after Estimated Delivery Date.

GynormousMellon Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Getting there! Delivery date was pushed to the left a bit so that's surprising. Still no window sticker though. Guess I'll just have to wait until I pick her up and get it then, Edited December 15, 2021 by GynormousMellon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doyall Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 2 hours ago, Dakkat720 said: How accurate have the estimated delivery dates been? .... After studying this extensively over three different forums and the now inactive Google spreadsheet tracker ever since my 11/9 order, all that can be said is it is hit or miss. If everything regarding order submission, confirmation, scheduling, chosen option commodity availability, transportation, etc., etc. goes well, it is probably fairly accurate. Ford does have decades of experience at this to guide them. Unfortunately, just one wrench in the cog will send it all haywire. All one can do is hope for the best and be patient. My example: all was going well, build scheduled week of 12/6, after hearing nothing I contacted dealer yesterday to be told the VVR indicated it was built 12/8 but then moved off-site (I am presuming for the infamous "chip" issue). Ford tracker says estimated delivery 12/28. No way I see that happening as I have not received anything from Ford that it has been built and shipped. YMMV. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise they are mirror copies. F450 Platinum in antimatter blue with black interior. Yep that's about it...other than the moonroof I didn't order...the retractable cover may make it here before the truck. It should only take an hour to install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is having spray in bed liner, tonneau cover and 5th wheel prep package installed. So if you have any of those, your truck is probably at GFX.

Truth is the time frame from order to VIN is all over the place. Some guys say they got their VIN weeks after ordering. Personally mine was exactly 2 months and 2 days “order to receiving my VIN/scheduling week”. Then I got pushed 4 times. As of 12/9 I moved to “In Production”. So in a nutshell your probably looking at a similar experience. I'm at two months two weeks with no VIN and now I have the holiday wait. I would really just like Ford to give projections to those of us who have trucks ordered with commodities issues. Information would make this process so less painful.

Ordered 11/1, scheduled 11/18 for week of 12/6. "Built" on 12/8 but now sidelined for no chip. I didn't have any of the known options/accessories that will cause a delay.

Sad to say but in recent weeks communication from Ford has sunk to non existent. My last build week was supposed to be 11/22. I didn’t get a email from Ford til about 12/3 saying I got pushed to week 12/13. I researched and found I was in production 12/13 and actually scheduled 12/14… still no email from Ford. In a nutshell, don’t expect to get emails from Ford in a timely manner as to the build progress of your truck. You have to do the work to be informed.

I havent gotten a single email from Ford even a confirmation email. Only communication is from the dealer/salesman. I provided my email at the time of order but nothing!

I know Ford would like to build my truck and sell it as much as I'd like to own it and drive it, it's just the anticipation and the lack of information at times, even though the moderators here at blue oval do a great job of trying to keep us informed, which makes the wait so much more uncomfortable.

I did well passed 2 months. Ask to talk to the sales manager. If there's no VIN the order is still at the dealership. I was able to make changes and I'm going on 6 months.

But if you’re taking off accessories that are in shortage, it seems you’d have a much greater chance at getting scheduled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re spending over $50k and maybe as much as $90k with them - make them do their job and give you up to date info. Ford gives the dealer all the available info right at their fingertips. Don’t let them off the hook. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
