✅ 5/2 Lightning Build Week Group

Nope. I use a bed rug. And I watched a bunch of people get delayed last year for that. So I wasn't fallin' for the ol' banana in the tailpipe...to quote Eddie M...

We have a good Linexpensive shop here if I want to do that after the truck gets here.

Thank you. I think that further lends to the assumption Ramp 59 is where the bed liner trucks are getting stored. Explains why my VV report shows "Received" and a note that it was released to the Body Shop just before that. My guess is they are just parking the finished bed liner trucks wherever they have space.

I didn't get a bedliner and my truck has been on Ramp 59 since May 6th.

That said............... RAMP 59 could also be staging area to get the trucks queued for loading on the trains, patience people!!

My patience would be better if the April build folks were receiving their vehicles (or they're just keeping it a secret). Not that I don't trust the Ford video of vehicles being loaded onto trucks and trains.

I keep telling myself to stop checking my status everyday and just wait for it to one day show up, but my curiosity gets the best of me everyday. I check it in the morning and then again in the evening when I know it hasn't changed. That's just the human in us.

When we see 1, real customer actually getting their truck and driving away - that'll be a great day.

Hi Folks,

Been watching here for some time, great info and conversation! I have a build week of 5/2 like most here too. The module build shows pops of all kinds on the Motorcraft Service site and the Ford Pass shows this to day. It was blank yesterday. What all this means…I dunno….just thought I’d share.

This is the most active "early" build thread, as a 5/23'er - we watch you all eagerly. Hoping y'alls deliveries lets us all narrow down on the build --> in your hands time frame. I'm supposed to fly across the country at the end of june, really trying to get a better sense of time frame before booking flights...

Yeah - I agree about watching this thread. This is a huge drawback to a thread for each week, every group/thread is having to learn the ropes and post and share. So the details get repeated a hundred times. A single thread would allow the sharing once. However, we are here and I keep up here to know what is coming down the road.

I was hoping for deliveries at least a couple weeks before I get my 5/24 build, but these backlogs and FILO crazy methods could be putting this group a disadvantage unfortunately.

Well we 4/11 and 4/18 aren’t active because nothing has happened other than the release of the owners manual since ours were built and parked..
I don’t think you’ll have to dig far once these get shipping and arrive at dealers.

Another cup of coffee....still waiting....

If they are totally built and not awaiting chips @FordMotorCompany could help solve their shipping dilemma by letting owners come to pick them up - bet you'd see those lots clear out by the thousands...

 

[rlbussard]

I searched all of AutoTrader and our spreadsheet that we pulled from AutoTrader about 5 weeks ago and couldn't find anything using the tracker that shows the truck has been built or shipped going to CA34 for Texas that we saw it in the video.

It may be possible that I missed some or they were for customers not on this site, but I think that it's also possible that Ford is not updating the tracker with any information at this time. Since the mannequins were built first, I would figure that they would have been the first to ship. So those vehicles that we seen loaded possibly could have been fleet vehicles and not customer vehicles. The video clearly showed several trucks going to CA34, but I couldn't find one that shows it has shipped already or even had the built bubble checked. I checked customer and mannequin builds in this check that I did.

My sticker shows CA34 with a 5/18 blend date going to DFW so hopefully they are holding enough room to fit mine before shipping!
