I sold myself this truck and wonder why I have to deal with a salesman at all. I’m making him earn his commission by keeping him posted on my truck with occasional texts that he ignores. He sent me this today:
Ford F-150 Lightning ✅ 9/25/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023) 1696009036218

I educated him on what is really happening. Crickets…

Right? He just pulled that out of his a$$. And referred to my truck as a car. He deserves a “Good day, sir!” for that.

Well from the looks of it ; it's a BS automate that is set to send you a weekly ''update'' ... I wouldn't even look at it anymore ... from what I see ; The most accurate update/guess we can get are in this forum !

You should be able to pull your sticker, try my VIN link, after it errors out, replace my VIN with yours.

Note that production is delayed by about 5 or so days.

Commodore, Hunker down with me and the rest of us 9/25-ers. If you look at some the build week threads ahead of us, you’ll see a “built” status or two. It’s a step closer, but they’ll still be waiting a bit for their trucks. I’m gonna try not to think about it for a couple weeks as I expect to have “in production” status for a while…

Is anyone from this week built yet? Have a blend of the 26th, but not seeing any movement. We were 4 days behind right? Seems we should be seeing a little something this weekend.

I think it's more like 5-6 days behind ...

Good news is that people on Build week 09-11-23 are getting built 4-6 days behind the blend date and getting updates after around 10-11 days and then Ship in 2 days after that ... so things are rolling !
Am expecting ours to be getting delivered between the last week of october and the first of november ! ( from what I read lately)

I believe a majority are still sitting in “in production”, myself included…. Only a handful have reported being built and even fewer shipped so don’t get your hopes up.

Pardon my ignorance, but where are folks getting the status updates they’re posting? When I log into Ford.com, the only 3 phases I see are Ordered, Built and Shipped.

Go here and use the VIN & 4 character order code found on your window sticker as noted in the example
