Is build date and blend date the same?

[Tangiora 10]

As I understand it the blend date is when all the parts start to come together and the build date is the date the build is finished but the moderators may know better.  Also there is a very detailed order process page that may have the information in it.  I can't remember where I read that the blend date was actually when the drivetrain and body are scheduled to come together.  That is when I am planning on visiting the rouge tour and trying to pretend I will see my F150 built.  I have seen people post that their blend date changed on their window sticker too.  I got an in production today and am awaiting a window sticker to show up in Ford order tracking.  My guess is it will show up in the next day or two.

For my build window sticker was available became available the Monday of my build week. The truck was built 3 days later.

My sticker became available a week before my build date.

My dealer explained that there is a build week and a build date.  He said you can have a build week and that typically slips (mine did, quite frequently.)  He said once he can see a build date, it is usually pretty solid.  At the beginning of April, I had a build week of April 18th but no build date.  Two weeks ago, the build date showed up, April 23, shortly after that, the window sticker showed up.  On the 23rd, the status changed to "built" and on the 24, the status changed to "shipped".  My dealer said to expect the truck in 3 weeks or so.

 

I hope that helps.

With the current commodity shortage everything is subject to change.

 

Mine was serialised on 17th March with a "Scheduled to Day" of 1st April. It bypassed the "Scheduled to Week" A week later, it was moved to "Scheduled to Day" of 8th April. It was again rescheduled and built 9th April.

That tracks with what my dealer told me.  He said that once it had a "day", it is less likely to slip, and if it does, it will only be a day or two. 

 

When I had a build "week", it went from March 7th to the 14th to the 21st to April 11th to April 18th and then back to April 11 and lastly back to April 18th.   I am glad it is on its way.

I think you should wait about a week. But it may be a little longer because they don't always manage to do everything on time. I strongly recommend buying additional sun protection, as in such trucks it becomes a serious problem. Please think about sunny days in advance, as it is unbearably hot in summer in such a truck. I also recommend using, if possible, any other ways to cool your truck in the summer. And of course, always take a bottle of water with you.

Window Stickers are created just prior to the actual vehicle production and generally available 1-7 days before production.
