✅ 11/21 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

Talked to dealer and they pulled out their tracking info.
Apparently the truck was either put on the train today, or a couple days ago. They can’t tell, because it says it’s still located in Michigan. Either it’s sitting in the train, or Ford hasn’t updated tracker info yet.

I got the email that my Lariat ER shipped!
Expected arrival is somewhere between 12.14-12.20. I'm in Atlanta.
Build date was 11.21, blend date was 11.23.
I got the Spray in liner as well.
Can't believe this story is about to end. Or begin!

Hope you all get the email soon as well!

oh wow you are looking at less than a month and also got the spray in! I knew I shouldn't lose hope yet! Pro with no spray in for me, 12/7 blend to NJ. fingers crossed!

someone from 11/7 thread had received the delivery of their Lariat ER with 511A package and they confirmed it did not come with Partitioned lockable fold flat storage and they are mad!!!!!!

My dealership is talking to Ford about this. They changed the order guide on 8/9/22 to make it a separate option on both Lariat trims. They didn’t implement the separate option that worked with the 511A package selected in the order system until mid September. Many of us confirmed our orders before this changed. Myself and some others being rolled over to '23 model year or in wave 1, had confirmed orders prior to Ford releasing the changed order guide.

Will see what they say, but they're expecting the truck to show up without it.

25 days built and delivered that's not happening

Vehicle status changed to “shipped” this AM

My delivery date just moved up to 12/5-12/11. So confused…. yesterday I was told I was on a VOW hold on the famous ramp 51 (nobody at the dealership knew that that meant) and yet now my delivery date gets bumped up by two weeks? I’m not complaining it’s just crazy how this is all over the place.

Truck status updated to built this AM (built date 12/5). Here's hoping for fast shipping to NC (Convoy).

lol I don't get why you keep saying that. Is it unlikely....very much yes. Is it impossible....no. If I (or anybody) get lucky and the truck is the last one loaded before the train leaves...it could be shipped super fast. Without a spray in or any options...its the best chance for a quick build. I've seen reports of under 30 days for people in states further than NJ, so I still have hope, but I'm expecting it in the first 2 weeks of January.

My Pro was built 11/5, delivered to dealer 11/30. So it can happen in 25 days

my blend is 12/7 so I probably will not get it this year, but it's not impossible if it ends up getting on a train that's about to leave

 

[Mike Dubs]

see that mine is now built as of 12/5. Get that baby on the train!

Got the rail car number off ford this morning.
Called Canadian rail soon after and the truck is in Indiana now, with est arrival to Portland port on Dec 9. Dealership will have it soon after. Super excited.

Editing this. I think there was a language barrier here and they meant Dec 9th at the next Port, which was Chicago.

Holy smokes! Congrats!
So way less than 25 days that everyone has been telling me is impossible? Lol blend date for me is 12/7. Unlikely but still possible it sounds like
