My status is still in "IN PRODUCTION", after I had "BUILT" status yesterday.

With an ETA of 1/24 -1/30, I'm just convinced that my phone will ring any minute now and my dealer will say come and pick up your new Lightning.

My dealer just told me to be ready Friday afternoon. That's pretty detailed info.... especially since my status says IN PRODUCTION.

I hope he's right.

Mine departed the ramp on rail about 3 hours ago, got a railcar number from Ford Chat. Tracked using that number through the automated Union Pacific system at (800) 877-5123

No shipped notification quite yet

just got an email from forf about my order being updated. I didn't see anything change and the heated steering wheel removal was never there for me i don't believe (Pro model).

Edit:

Guess it was just the delivery estimate they changed, but I got a little more information this time and my truck is on a ramp.

" Your F-150 is Awaiting Shipment at Ramp 5M, New Boston, MI. The most recent update as of Jan-25-2023, 19:54 ET reflects an estimated delivery window of Feb-04-2023 to Feb-10-2023. "

From past threads, Ramp 5m in New Boston seems to indicate it SHOULD be loaded on a rail cart soon.

I received the "Your Vehicle Order Has Been Updated" email from Ford. Good news is that the icon on my Order Status bar now shows a Truck icon which some think it is shipping. Bad news is the Order Details show the 2023 pricing with the December 2022 increase. I can no longer see the pricing when my order was confirmed on 9/7/2022.

But I still have this screenshot of the pre-increase pricing from KBB which shows the MSRP. Anyone have something similar with the pricing of the XLT SR trim?

Its funny, I still have the $51k MRSP on the ford website, but my window sticker tacked on the extra $4k price increase.

Effective October 4, 2022, Ford issued the "2023MY F-150 Lightning Price Action & Retail Pro Series Sold Out " notice to dealers. (There is a pdf of it elsewhere in the Forum). It states the 23MY J1 prices for each trim. Glad this was posted!

Yeah I sent both of those price increase pdfs to my dealer because he claimed lightnings weren't price protected

Woke up to good news

 

[Sealevel]

I'm getting closer! Received the "Your Vehicle is on Its Way" email overnight as well. And I found an earlier screenshot of my order showing the correct price!

 

[Sealevel]

And the icon on the status has changed to a clipboard - I wonder what this icon means.

Love it, hope they don't give you too much a hassle now that you've educated them!

 

[ProjectMayhem]

Got my built email and hoping the green circle sticks this time! Thanks to the community here, I feel prepared to start the price protection talks with the dealership.

Got an update email from Ford, apparently I'm now Shipped and "In Progress". Maybe that means it is literally en route?
