@TaxmanHog how many others are running in same number of days as me, rdefran.
total days. Since I was same blend day.
mine is still sitting untouched.
i don’t think doors locked or unlocked have ship impact.
i don’t find it plausible that trucks, at least in my distant lot, are left with doors unlocked.
ford doesn’t need to provide me an eta - them not even ship by that date.
mine was updated on the 28th to 7/2-7/8.
glad others are finally Being put out of their misery with the waiting.

I thought you were a numbers man. 1 does not equal 2.Note there are later build weeks in May suffering as badly
You missed my point. Just wondering how small the April group was getting.
reminds me of my childhood when the neighbor boy said to the neighbor girl - when I get older than you I’m gonna marry you.
I’m empathetic for early May people as well, but I’m not sure how they’ll make up the 2-3 week less waiting period. I seek fairness which is fifo not filo. At the end of the day I understand that we all want to enjoy our 80k and up toys.
point is, our group shrinks, it sucks more that I’ve been parked in one of the worst lots, they did not ship which makes it impossible to hit the first eta window.
go ahead miss the eta window but at least have had it leaving Detroit (it’s current parked zip code)
Yes, I should have said MAY is ~nearly~ as bad but no one has worse than you at the moment.
Added a new metrics on the public table, [Age of open orders], in the grand scheme we've all been waiting since our order date with anticipation that manufacturing would have been FIFO, of course it has not turned out that way. Interestingly there are many May build weeks/blend days with folks who have waited as long from original order dates
The other measure is [Age of open order since build week]
@blpublic deserves the right to wear the crown waiting in vain who knows if his ETA will hold up against yours.......

I live about 5 miles from the Rouge plant. My build date is 7/11 and blend date is 7/12. I wonder how long it will take for my delivery?

I called my dealer yesterday, he said it was shipping out rail ?!!? My sticker says convoy ? Just another thing to delay my delivery ! WTF
If the destination dealership is greater than about 300 miles the truck ships via rail, then last leg by convoy

Not shipped yet - did my weekly check w/ Ford Chat to see if I can get any more tidbits of info to pacify my self.
This is what they said this week. Not sure what it all means exactly. Assuming it just means it is w/ the shipping company but not yet actually moving anywhere..
"Your current order status is "Awaiting Shipment" and has been received Ramp 58, Melvindale, MI and has shipped convoy # 2376076 (Vehi-ship Llc ). The estimated delivery date is between Jul-19-2022 - Jul-25-2022. You can also keep in touch with your dealership for updates as well. Is there anything else I can do to assist you?
I also checked my dealers Demo this week on the trackers - appears it finally got a built date as of yesterday (7/8 F001 1FT6W1EV2NWG01286).

I have this truck in my Auto Trader study, noticed this and one other we're following updated to BUILT on 7/8. As an aside, over the past few days many other DEMO's have updated, built, shipped status' and several landing at dealerships for final prep and demo duty.
