She stated it was at the ramp in Dearborn which is the first time I had heard that language used, wish I could tell if that's different than where the vehicle has been the last month or not).
It's probably in the staging lots adjacent to the rail yard.

My truck is still showing ‘in production’, but I was just notified by my dealer (Granger) that it’s ‘in transit’. The saga continues!

FWIW my delivery estimate still shows 9/16-9/22 but I am not optimistic.

My status shows still in production. Ford had given me conflicting information as to if my truck was in transit or not. My dealer cleared it up today. Your truck is "offsite" or in "offsite storage" It may be it needs a few more parts?

I am happy for all who have trucks on the way and hoping soon to get that notification.

Hoping the Admins on this Board with connections can provide some clear communications on why so many trucks are "sitting"

Keeping my fingers crossed that Trucks in transit make it to Dealers and Customers. My Truck has been "In Production" for 40 days. Clearly, there is a QC, missing part, or CSP issue. I only wish Ford would be a little more transparent on what the "issue" might be. Hopeful for a "built" before the end of the month and the Truck before the end of the year?

I am shocked that your truck hasn't arrived. :rolleyes: Ford wouldn't lie or misrepresent anything to its customers to keep stringing them along... 😲
@Ford Motor Company just has a lot to learn about consumer direct orders, this "system and logistics works fine with the dealer sell and lot model, it does not work for direct order, if that is truly where they want to go significant change will need to happen, if this was an ice truck or
there were other real options I would guess most of us would have moved on by now! I have considered it several times through this process and in the end wanting a truck, wanting it to be electric and no other real options ( and not wanting to screw my dealer has kept me here) they will not alw6have those advantages

2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat (ordered)
If they don't have a strategy to improve or mitigate whatever the hold-up is right now, they're going to start losing market share if Chevy keeps to its schedule of the Silverado EV being available in 2024. It's going to pull customers away from Ford, even though there are two things going against it; 1. its more expensive. 2. Let's face it, it's kind of ugly.

For me, I'm a Dodge Ram REV reservation holder, so Ford has until 2025. I would hope that Ford can beat that timeline. I prefer Ford, but if they can't deliver with any kind of confidence...

I might just keep my 21 powerboost and add an R1T to my stable. At least when Rivian lied about production/delivery timelines they smiled.
