Same here, also a Lariat ER.

I wonder how much variation they have in building the different trims during different weeks?
When dud you order yours? I just ordered April 18th. Lariat ER.

2/25 order date. I believe I was at the tail end of wave 4. Ford had some problems with their order page and my salesperson wouldn't reply to my emails for a couple days.

How do you check your production date? My SA shared it with me initially, so do I have to keep going to him for updates?

You can view it on your order page on the Ford website.

Whenever I think about delays, I often wonder which part(s) are delayed, and whether changing my order from an XLT 312A to a Lariat would be quicker... and whether it's too late.

The gap between XLT 312A and Lariat is just less than $5000.
Only 5K? For sure go with the Lariat!

My original build date was week of 6/13/22. Now it's 7/25/22. :(

Anyone else just get pushed back?
Well, it moved again... This time a bit earlier.

First it was 6/13
Then it was 7/25
Then it was 8/3
NOW it's back to 7/25

Hopefully that's a sign that they're speeding up the line. Maybe everyone will be seeing a bump in the right direction.

Nice! What trim did you order again? I was the same order week updates as you. Wave 1 priority AMB XLT 312A, 6/13, then 7/25, then 8/1 and holding there.

I hope a lot of us get bumped earlier too. You would think @Ford would love all of us to get ours first for the free publicity and reviews in this forum.

Same config, XLT 312A SR.

I was only the 2nd person to order at my dealer, and they’re definitely shipping a ton before I get mine. I’m not thrilled by that. Not sure if it has something to do with priority or my config. I tried to email them 3 times to see if changing to a Lariat would help, but never got a response.

I've emailed the dealer 3 times without an answer. If it would move the date ahead, I'd pay the extra. From what I've heard, the XLR 312A is intentionally just a little cheaper than the Lariat.

I didn't think about it at the time because the numbers weren't side by side, but they basically wanted to steer the majority of people to get a Lariat by showing them a whole bunch of things for just a bit more money.
