Mine came in today and just picked it up. This truck was worth the wait! Hope you all get yours soon!
No rubbing it in.

Just found this group today. Lots of useful info. Thank you all who contributed.
I just called to get the VVR. my antimatter blue Lariat is on Ramp 51 (waiting for a sign off and QA) - I was told my ETA is 8/14 - but that does not look likely given the delivery times to California.


Group 6745 237/738
I'm in a similar boat. That ETA is when you should get BUILT status. Mine is supposedly between 8/5 - 8/11. Hoping to have a BUILT status in the next day or two. My blend was 7/22 with an IN PRODUCTION date of 7/24.

Another day and no BUILT status for me! I'm wondering if the hold up is the smart scales, but then again I see other trucks with the scale BUILT and shipped by now.

Just got an updated ETA for production from August 5-August 11th to August 28-September 3. I'm told this timeline is for PRODUCTION and not a delivery estimate. Seems crazy that my truck will be held for that amount of time for just production.

UPDATE: Just called Ford directly and they indicated the 8/28 - 9/3 timeline is the delivery window. That makes much more sense. I'll believe it if I get a BUILT email and status update in the next day or two.

I'm still waiting as well, and no built status yet. Mine has the spray in bedliner. Anyone else have the spray in bedliner and get shipped/delivered already?

Mine has the spray in liner. Marked as built 8/5 (if I remember right blend date 7/22) and in transit 8/8. Thought I'd give it a couple days to move along before trying to get more information but going on vacation 8/20 and was really hoping it would be in my driveway before then not at the dealer. Destination is Atlanta so should be a pretty straight forward shot by rail and a short truck delivery (my Mach-E was at the dealer a day after arriving in Atlanta by rail).

Edit: Checked with Ford. They gave the location as Melvindale (which I read as Rogue Center parking) but they gave me a rail car which when checked with Norfolk Southern says left at 3:30am an Indiana location. Did not give me any direction information. Hoping that the rail car is not going to Detroit but on the way to Atlanta (please let me have my dreams).

Nice!!! My blend was 7/25. Hopefully I get an update by the end of the week.

Bit of a dumb question but how do I determine the in production date? I don't believe I received an email for that....
Use the link I provided, with your VIN and four character order digits and the results shall be revealed, the beauty of the Canada site is that you will see your ETA once you're shipped as well!!

Thanks! 7/24 in production. I’m thinking the 8/15 delivery date I got from the dealer and Ford Chat is more likely end of month timeframe.

Well I just got an email to complete my purchase, so I guess my truck has shipped?

Shit they might actually make to 8/11-8/18 timeline I thought was absurd

Woke up to no Ford emails or updates on the Ford sites, but Order track says the truck is Awaiting Shipment. My understanding is that means it's BUILT. Is that right?

Also, where does the Ordertrack pull that information from and why are the Ford sites behind?
