My first build date was 2/10 then got bumped to 2/16. I contacted my salesman today who is the sales manager for this dealership to see if I was still on track for that build date this is what I got in reply. This is a direct quote from his e-mail reply. (Looks like the 20th is the build date.......They did close the factory again, so I will keep an eye on when they reopen. My rep said it should only be for 10 days, but I have heard that before.) Sounds a little fishy to me, nobody else has said anything about a plant shutdown on this forum.

I was astounded when I received the build week ... then in production for a week ... finally, built ... and now shipped! Maybe it was the 6.2 engine we ordered? I have heard that sometimes it takes three weeks just to get from the WA railhead to the convoy headed back to MT ??? Really counting our blessings. Thanks to all who help us track / update.

Hey, don't worry. You will still probably beat me since BNSF rail has taken over a month to go from Minot, ND to Havre, MT with my truck, a distance of about 428 miles, and it still has about 500 miles to go before it reaches it's destination. At this pace, I'll be lucky to get my truck before mid March. I'm really getting to dislike BNSF railroad, a lot.

ShelbyKR Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Had a build week of 2/14/22 for my 250 Lariat Tremor. It was looking good until I got an email last night moving my build week to 2/21/22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox3 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I guess this is progress, build week moved from week of Feb 7th to week of Feb 14th. Windows ticker showed up today. Hopefully getting closer to build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muggerzh Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 i am still sitting on 21st for my basic lariat 250 6.7. reading between the lines Ford seems to be shifting models around for scheduling as components come and go. My guess is they are becoming very good at scheduling and maximizing profits by getting as much produced as possible. My guess is i will get started next week, a little early. Frankly, from my perspective, i am impressed at how well Ford is managing a mess not of their making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do understand that shutdowns were discussed. this quote from a press release states. Factories in Dearborn, Michigan and Louisville, Kentucky will be running on a significantly reduced schedule. The e-mail I got stated that the Kentucky will be closed. I could be wrong but I did not see that it would be closing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm closer to KTP than you are, by a lot, so I guess I was thinking that once I got to this point, I'd actually be a lot closer. I'm not complaining, and I'm not pointing fingers. Back before Ford APIs went dark, the tracking spreadsheet at/from another forum was routinely showing trucks shipped only a day or two after release. Something significant has changed. I'm now 8-9 days since release, and not even "received" by the railroad yet. Wish I knew more, would make me feel better about it. Etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjm73 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I just omited the factory spray in bedliner from my order. I'm sure it won't amount to any time saved given the reduced production situation. But maybe it'll help. It's almost the same money to have it done local upon arrival so no harm, no foul.

jgdorado Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) On 2/5/2022 at 2:25 PM, FirstFord22 said: Ice… after all of the problems I had with my order, I decided to take my business to a different location where I placed a new order. I didn’t cancel the order with the previous dealership because I figured they wouldn’t bother to cancel it and do exactly what @jgdorado stated. The truth is, if my original order came in next week I wouldn’t do business with them, but I also don’t want them to get the truck and sell it well above MSRP and tack on the BS “market adjustment” fee of $5,000+. So with that being said, can I just send them in writing that I’m canceling my order? I don’t even want to talk to those MFers. I definitely DO NOT want them to get that truck! So, Monday morning the sales manager called and couldn't wait to refund my deposit. They want that truck... And maybe that's the play on your order too.. who knows right?? They can have it. I'll order a 23 in August obviously not from them. I love my F250 7.3 diesel and I'll keep it for another 22 years ? I appreciate this site. You guys rock.

I received confirmation from the sales manager that he would cancel it. Whether they actually do is another story.

Patriot1 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) I have only been on this forum a very short time. And I have a new F350 Tremor on order, pretty much fully loaded. The best to all who have ordered trucks, we all just have to be patient. And to the moderators on here I salute you and respect your thoughts and posts. Thanks for all you do day to day to bring sanity to the forum. Edited February 21, 2022 by Patriot1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it makes a difference to know if the plants are running or not. Some of us have been waiting over 6 months just to get scheduled....and still no VIN. Hopefully they're scheduling this week and a few of us will get our VIN's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35FordTudor Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I have tried the tracking site since 12-9-2021, never gotten through. Dealership says it’s being built this week, initially scheduled for 1-31-22 then pushed back to 2-6-22, it’s just a waiting game. Still driving the 2017 F250.
