It's starts next Monday 8/1. yes your truck is the third in a line of 812 to be built that week.

Can you explain why this one shows /812 but baker has same blend date and shows /258? Is that a total of 1070 trucks being built in the week?

258 is a subset of the original 812

The folks who have special options like spray in liner originally had 812 as denominator when the sticker was first generated, I'm guessing FORD released them Wed's night, the following morning Ford revises this sub-set to a new denominator only for the spray-in group, the trucks with out spray-in are not adjusted, but if they did, it would become 554.

So, the total production for this week remains at 812, crazy Ford math.

I didn’t realize they were having issues. It’s a cool photo I hope we get one

I love the idea but the skeptic in me wonders if they just have photos of each color combination and trim level and send one that matches our builds. I want to believe that’s not how it is…but how could we truly know?

 

[SeanOC]

People have said you can see differences in lighting and such when you look closely at the photos indicating that they actually send you a photo of your specific truck.

It’s a bittersweet week for me - blend date 8/3 - as they get ready to build a truck I didn’t order after advertising Platinum and Max Recline and massaging seats to me, convincing me to order that, then pulling the rug out from under me and leaving me with a truck with 20 miles less range, 200 lbs less payload and 1500 lbs less towing capacity and my wallet $12k lighter compared to what I otherwise would have ordered. Neither dealer nor Ford let me know about the seat delete at all and the $300 discount just doesn’t cut it. I learned about the delete from my window sticker. Long story short, I’m currently trying to get a regional Ford rep to call me back to talk about options. I understand supply chain issues, but they handled this all wrong.

For those who are wondering “what‘s so special about Max Recline?” - I was counting on that to get some good rest on road trips because my girlfriend barely drives, only confident on long straight stretches of highway with no traffic - curves or traffic and she gets anxiety - so the brunt of driving is on me. I was looking forward to resting at charging stations to avoid fatigue. And of course Max Recline required the Platinum trim so here we are.

Thanks for letting me vent on this while I try to work towards some resolution. I may have to take the truck as-is and continue the fight or order a Lariat ER while I drive this truck for the next 1-2 years then flip it when I get the next one. Who knows, maybe I’ll order a competitor truck while I wait for that Lariat after this experience, and this is coming from someone who has been a loyal Ford owner with one exception for 30 years.

That is unusually fast, hours into production day......

This is Fingerbang's 8/1 build, with modules and tear tag, normally you will see modules first then hours or a day later the tear-tag
