Scheduled for 2/14 as of last email. You guys have me searching every email and junk box seeing if I got that week slide email too ? I hope you don’t either! Wouldn’t wish that on anyone haha. Not sure what’s worse not receiving any communication other than the order confirmation one originally gets the day they order, or getting scheduled then having the date continually be moved like some have experienced. Once I got scheduled felt like I could at least see the light at the end of this tunnel now they lengthened the tunnel on me. ? Really hope it’s just this one additional week as I have seen numerous posters on here get the rescheduled email a few times. Curious if those who were originally scheduled for 2-21 will get the rescheduled email next week extending them to 2-28. Wondering if the pushes will produce a production cascading effect, not sure though. Edited January 28, 2022 by JT42 Grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my scheduled email on 13 January for a 14 February build week. I have likewise been pushed to 21 February. I got my confirmation email on 18 October for a 350 Platinum 6.7 CCSB with problematic accessories removed before Thanksgiving. I’m wondering if they are shifting things around to batch out certain trim levels or bodies. I was lucky enough to actually be moved the other direction. I was scheduled for week of 2/21 and last night was moved to week of 2/14. Maybe they’re grouping things together? Hoping it’s a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per cyberman in the vehicle tracker forum, I got scheduled to the day of 2.18.22. Hope that sticks. My guess is the did the schedule to the day for that week and had to push back any that didn't get slotted. I ordered on 9/3. F250 Platinum FX4 with the only commodity issue being the rolling tonneau cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bscherer72 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 When the factory 5th wheel prep is done, is the truck ready to have a hitch dropped in the puck system, or is there more that needs to be added. My dealer is telling me that the prep was just them cutting the holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHristopher Runyan Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Does anyone know what “order processing” means? my truck is supposed to be built the week of 1/31, with an actual build date of 2/4, and Ford marketing told me that it is in processing. I don’t get any emails from Ford so I have to call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5th wheel prep is everything needed to drop a 5th wheel hitch or the gooseneck ball in. The wiring is in the bed. It's amazing how the people at some of these dealers really don't know their products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortadella Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 This may be a silly question but how does Ford schedule trucks? I see the scheduling plan that ice-capades posts in the Production Week Scheduling Information thread but is that guide basically saying Ford only schedules builds on Thursdays and next Thursday they're not scheduling anything?

Joshkbird Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) reached out to my salesman today to add the tremor package on my lariat. He said it would definitely delay the build time of the truck. Super bummed!! guess I’ll keep it how it is.

A lot of people are being told not to order the Tremor, AS, Bedliner, 5th wheel prep, stc. My thinking is they have a shortage on these parts but aren't completely out forever. I might be wrong but that's my guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mefly2 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 We received a call from salesperson today. Our truck will be built 2/1; it was ordered 11/8 confirmed 11/9 ...

Based on the other vehicles in the latest report is seems like schedules are already booked out until mid to late March and with the number of people here who have said they have orders from last year with no scheduling still; it's going to be a rough go for us who just recently put an order in. Fingers crossed I can at least get my truck before my birthday in August Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apparently I'm sitting at "priority 4" whatever the hell that means. Probably just my dealer's way of getting me off the phone. Do you have your order number and the dealers sales code (mine starts with F and a series of 5 numbers - FXXXXX.)? If you have those, then you can have cyberdman track your order for you in this section of the forum: https://blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?/forum/80-vehicle-locator-by-ford-employees/ Be sure to read the rules, cyber is a stickler on those. I think the most difficult rule was this: " You must have made fifteen (15) good posts on this site before you can post here. Frivolous posts will result in account deletion." But if you read what's going on and post something to try to help someone once in awhile, or just comment like this, it doesn't take that long to bump up your good post totals.

Joshkbird Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Another questions for the bof. Talked to my dealer about adding the tremor package to my build. He mentioned something about not being sure they have more allocations. What exactly is that? Also mentioned the build time will definitely increase anyone know by how long. Would love the tremor look, but at this point I’d rather have a truck. Thank you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staycee Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Is it normal to have weeks where they don’t schedule at all? Or is this part of the crazy times we’re in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielj Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 9 hours ago, TheFatInTheHat said: I never even got a confirmation email. The dealer swore Ford confirmed the order with them and said sometimes the emails don't send for some reason. I'm not sure I trust that they actually put my order in right. If you do not get a confirmation email then the dealer did not put your email in the order. It took me months before I was able to get the right person at the dealership to pull it up in front of me. After asking my sales guy for months to put it on my order and being told it already is when it wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
