Long ship delays (>60 days from build to arrival)

From the new VINVIEW. system my dealer sent me. This is the 3rd date I’ve had from this system which is only a week old!

This is what my dealer’s Operations Manager sent me last Tuesday. Before my window changed to 8-14 Nov

I'd be curious to hear from members who've received their trucks after extended delays on the reason they get from their dealers. Right now it seems to be a mystery.

I must be a glutton for punishment. Better off just closing my eyes and not looking anymore.

Sometimes it's better to do just that.

Look at it this way:
Better to receive it before the end of the year to be able to get the $7500 tax credit you can apply for in January 2023...

I had to wait 6 months to apply for mine....

Though I urge extreme caution doing the following, one can adjust their income tax ES deposits or wage withholdings as soon as you know you would qualify, I dropped my WH on my OPM pension to ZIPPO for the last four months of the year after taking delivery on 8/4. Once again, I urge caution doing this if one does not understand their tax matters.

So, after a good while of messing around on Twitter and getting nowhere, I actually got DM'd by Michael Levine, N. America Product Communications Director, asking for my info via email, so I sent him some background info and told him that I'm not upset it's being held up. I'm upset that Ford Corporate isn't even telling the dealers anything and delivery windows are useless if they just keep sliding once you actually get into that window, and that's happening to several people from the same build weeks. He emailed back that he'll look into it, so I guess we'll see where it goes.

My delivery window hasn't even changed and I'm almost two months past the outside delivery date.

Dealer texted and said mine has finally arrived today!!! I was at the rouge tour this Saturday in Detroit, they must must’ve finally felt bad for me. My buddies were working me over me pretty hard for not getting it yet! They had had the Ford lightning underbody, uncovered at the rouge, which was pretty cool to see! I feel this is a sign of hope for you guys!

Oh I'm in on this... Same current window (same 11/8-14) since 11/9 is taken I'll take 11/10 for the kick out, but 11/9 is probably the strongest odds.

BTW... my dealer, nor Ford chat has ever mentioned the word "hold" with my truck. Everything I've heard (which isn't much) implies trucking issue.

Also I'd be remiss not to welcome @mklcolvin to 50+ days since shipment club

@ExCivilian looks like your big day is tomorrow

The club your allowed to join, but apparently not allowed to leave!

Thanks luebri, but the records must have not been updated - we've had our truck for more than a month now...
