That's the thing with averages. Some people have to be on the wrong side. Sorry to hear you have not been built yet.
That would not be the case if ford would finish the trucks they haven’t before finishing new ones.

you had to rub my nose in it ;) I am thinking with 12/11 blend, I should expect a Monday built date if I am as lucky as them.

So, I found out yesterday from my dealer that my truck is in microchip purgatory. Four days after my blend date and still not built, I figured there was a problem. Like some others my window sticker has disappeared on the tracker. I do have to wonder how trucks that seem to match my truck in options have built in this week’s build group and have started shipping. Grrrrrr….

The 4 members of your build group who are built, took 8 days. As of now, there is no problem.

Oh how I hope! And thanks for being on top of all of this for those of us who do sloppy research!
The average days to build for all of MY23 is 12 days. It’s promising that we’ve seen four already at 8 but do keep in mind there is some major recency bias so it could creep up over time.

It is all about managing expectations.

p.s. Love that you listed Bicycles under your vehicles.

Sweeet! What’s the new tracker called? Old Tracker? That’ll help me ask my dealer to check that specifically
I just called ford and also my dealer. The ford customer service person told me that my truck is built and it is in somewhere for "final touches". The dealer guy told me that the truck is being build and there is an hold on it because still missing parts (mostly microchips) and the expected date to be finished is between first and second week of January. It is a MY2023 Lariat ER Avalanche with bedliner and max tow package. Of course it shows some removed features like everyone else build.

My dealer told me the hold up is the blind spot monitoring chip as of right now

America has always been about freedom to choose. The beauty of this process is the availability of a wide range of answers for us to choose from.

Those that have been updated to "Built", did you receive an email with this info? Or did you just keep refreshing the Ford Vehicle Order Tracking Page?

Just kept refreshing order tracking page. I have not gotten an email from Ford since production was scheduled (November 10th)

I put more miles on my bikes than I do my truck. They deserve some recognition. :D
I got built 12/15 and awaiting shipment. my window sticker has been removed. I wonder if they are changing to update to new prices.
