Don't want to get anyone too excited but the order tracker (the public one, not the one on your account) updated the "Last Updated" field to 04/13/2023. Previously this was stuck on 02/15/2023. Nothing else was updated.

Could mean that I'm about to get another delay, or it could mean something more positive. Progress I guess! 😅
This happened to my truck the same day it delivered, but it was at the final step before the dealership that whole time.

This one: https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking/?gnav=header-account

I'm not sure the proper way to differentiate it from the reservation one. 🤔 Thought I guess that one's just called the reservation tracker? 🤷‍♂️
Pretty much, the one that requires a logon name/email address and "PRIVATE" password, which for INFOSEC reasons should never be disclosed on this forum, as it's the gateway to your Ford.Com account and specific controls and information about all your Ford connected vehicles using that logon.

The PUBLIC track only requires the VIN and and the four character WBDO code printed on the window sticker.

Congratulations I hope it gets delivered soon. Talk to your dealer they should have a good feel for the delivery date. Ask your dealer about the Trucks travel history, I’m curious to see if your truck was shipped back to Michigan for repairs. Post some pictures when you get it.

I finally got my shipping email from Ford with a delivery range end of 04-26 or 04-30 depending on tracker. Hoping to take the truck on its maiden trip to the ACT event at the Stafford Motor Speedway next weekend!

Just got the notification the truck is at the dealership! Business travel will probably delay pickup, but I can knock out much of the paperwork electronically and have something big to look forward to when I get back!

Congrats! Been following this forum 'cause my Lariat was built on 2/5 and stuck in dearborn like half of the people in this thread. have heard nothing since 2/7 but hoping it's getting closer based on what people in this build week are experiencing.

Welp, false alarm of sorts. Heard back from my dealer and they said, "We see your truck is delivered but it's not here. Looked in our tracking system and it's back to Michigan after staying in Delaware awhile. Says it's on chip-hold*. I reached out to our Ford rep to get more info."

* I assume "chip-hold" is just a generic term the system uses in place of "needs new battery". What a mess. It was just sitting there for two months while nothing was being done. Order tracker says "final preparation" so I doubt I'll even be able to check for updates either.

On the flip side things are progressing I guess. Though I'm almost certainly losing out on my rate lock at this point.

Appreciate it. I'm pretty sour/disappointed about the whole ordeal, but the reality is I still have a working vehicle (that I now need to re-register too, ugh), the tax credit I'll get is more than most, and while I was planning on doing some cool projects with the truck this spring there's always fall time.

Thanks for letting me vent too, 1/16 build group! 😁
