✅ 12/05 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

Why nervous? No way it'll go past February.....is there?

I have seen some horror stories on wait times on other threads so I think it is possible. May be the guys with spreadsheets could chime in on what the worse waits after blend has been. If it is really a chip shortage, it is out of their hands. If it failed some test, they should be able to fix it faster but CS tells me it is a chip hold.

Take a look at my data, some folks waited a LONG time, one of many ways to sort the data.

Looks like it’s not just the trucks that are delayed. I ordered the weather mats, bed liner and bed extender from ford accessories website to get the 20% off before the sale ends. I just received an email saying my entire order is back ordered. At least I saved the $200. Now another waiting game.

Is there a code? Debating between weather tech floor mats or the F150 ones that Ford has.

It's been 10 days since I posted an update. Still not shipped and new Estimated Delivery 1/10/2023 - 1/16/2023

I think they must be moving my truck today because the Ford Pass app said that my activation process had been denied. Before today it would give a different error message.

This is my estimate as well... my Lightning is sitting on a train in Witchita, KS right now.

not sure if it's true, but Union Pacific says my truck is off the rail car! does anyone know if XLTs come with removable floor mats?

I think so. Also, what's your vehicles final destination?

So psyched to hear yours is so close. Feel like mine should be in the Springs in the few days

Good news is these seem to be all MY22. And 23s so far does not look as bad. There is a 66 day Canadian Production to Delivery but the rest gives me some hope. Then again there are not many Pros on top and many 12-05s are already shipped so I could indeed be very "special" here. We will see.

There is a limited number of 2023 on the next tab, but William's on going analysis of 2023 has more data in a similar format here

My Pro delivery window was 12/23-12/29. Just got back from my dealer and they can’t tell if it has shipped. I’m only 2 hours from the factory.

The dealer has a 2022 Lariat ER sitting on the lot - they offered me at MSRP. I shouldn’t have looked at it. Of course they are knowing that they get my pro to sell when it arrives - a no brainer for them.

Gonna sleep on it. What would you do? The 22 has all the stuff that is now removed from the 23’s.

Bro ball is in your court! Walk in there like you are selling them your truck haha!! it is in their best interest to sell you the 2022 for a better deal I would think?? They can get rid of a 2022 and will have a 2023 at a higher MSRP to replace it. They want a sale on their 2022 report. I’d see what you can wheel and deal maybe.

@ddaputnam @F150Blue @umbrop you guys on this train? Just got this from chat!

called them and got this:
“intermediate arrival on train, Oakwood MI, Dec28 11:30PM”

is it switching to a CSX train? I thought CSX did East coast?

Just called NSC. Supposedly “departed on flat car River Rouge……Michigan Dec30 @ 5:54am”. I couldn’t make out the word said between rouge and Michigan.

I was hoping to hear it say arrived in Delaware which would’ve given me hope of delivery today/tomorrow. Oh well…more time to settle the price protection with my dealer I guess.

Got the shipped email overnight, still the same delivery window. I guess it's time to figure out a train car and start obsessively tracking that.
