Lee2021 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Its probably blatantly obvious, but here is another official word: https://www.autonews.com/manufacturing/ford-halt-some-f-150-pickup-production-week-due-semiconductor-shortage Earlier this month, Ford said it would continue to idle some of its assembly plants in the week of Feb. 14 due to semiconductor bottlenecks. In another cutback, Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant, which builds Super Duty, Expedition and Navigator, will operate on just one shift next week, per a memo to employees A shortage of semiconductors that are used for everything from computer management of engines to driver-assistance features has hit several automakers across the globe forcing some to produce vehicles without certain features.

I ordered Aug 24 and got a build date in Jan for Feb 24 but that has changed multiple times and now I have a build week of March 14. I have a F250 Platinum with no restraints after deleting all of them in Jan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your truck was built 4 days before mine and shipped out to NM and Ford can’t get my truck shipped out for a 1-1/2 hour drive? Something on my truck has to be wrong, as Captain Dave said check the trucks over. I’ll be checking every inch of this truck when it finally arrives, and before signing off on it. If anyone gets their SD’s and built around 2/9, please post them, I’m trying to be positive but they said to be delivered week of 2/14. Hello....ordered 11/22. Built 2/8. Arrived at dealership 2/22. Took delivery 2/23. Hope you see it soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainKopper Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Well thankfully for Cyberdman, the Ford emails and and the Ford tracking site (mostly working), I have information that my truck is shipped. Last message from the dealer was on Jan 13 that my truck was scheduled. Knowing full well its been build and shipped already (ETA 3/5-3/11), I sent the salesman a message yesterday morning asking for an update and nothing. For the heck of it, I went to their website just now and what do you know, there is my truck posted for sale with a hefty markup. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will see if the same applies and update this post. Are you showing built on tracker or still in production? Built on tracker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for shits and grins you should go to the dealership, try to locate a different sales rep and inquire about the SD for sale on their lot. See how far you can go with it!

Max4wKR Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Is there something on the base ultimate king ranch package that keeps getting it pushed back? I feel like more platinums are getting pushed out faster than the king ranches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gharri30 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 How many here would like to be receiving the dreaded, move back, emails instead of have no production week at all? My coworker complains because he has received two of said emails after only having to wait 3 weeks from putting in his order to getting a production week email. Could always be worse and have no hope at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure if you called they would say it has been sold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came across one similar to my build specs online at a dealership a state over and called about it. Turns out it was someone's build. Said they were just waiting financing for it and was a 0.00001% it wouldnt go though. So you're probably correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
