That is exciting then because perhaps they have sped the liner process along. What was your in-production date?

Ok, nice -- similar to mine. Yes liner, in production and ETA 9/19 -- which I'm sure will back up, but hopefully they are getting close to being built -- maybe middle to late next week.

Strange that my VIN isn't showing up on United Road to track the last leg. My ICE truck showed up there before production started.

I’m next day so I hope your timing is correct and that just means mine will be considered “built” tomorrow when I inevitably chat with them again haha

I don’t care as long as it results in the truck being in my garage sooner lol

Just Chat with Ford! You will get more answers there rather than your dealer

Where do you go to contact Ford Chat?

Chatted with Ford, they said the truck is in production at the "Flat Rock Plant". The agent specifically said F-150 Lightning so it's the right truck. The only two options were ER and Max Tow. Does anybody know if they're doing any extra QC offsite at Flat Rock? I heard of some units coming with close to 100 miles due to testing, any ideas where they do that testing? Or maybe the agent was misinformed?

ETA is 9/13 to 9/19.

That said, it looks like on @TaxmanHog 's tracker that lately trucks go from build date to shipped in 2-3 weeks (at least in most east-coast cases), and Maryland trucks show up within days... of the six with ship dates and arrival dates one was same day, two were next day, one was four days, one was five days, and one showed up after ten days. Seems 9/13 to 9/19 are somewhat worst-case, I'm hoping 9/2 to 9/9 is more likely.

Interesting, haven’t heard of Lightnings at Flat Rock yet. I know Ford said they would be assembling EV’s at the plant next year but didn’t think that meant Lightning. I hope your delivery timeline comes true. Would love to see my truck within 2 weeks! Seems a few are coming to MD this round

I was also told mine is at Flat Rock just awaiting transport from a friend that works at Ford corporate in Michigan. Hasn’t moved into built yet on tracker.

Will certainly be interesting to see what the time for the spray in liner does to the calendar for us all here.

Ford Chat told me the same dates today and told me to check with dealer for more information. Dealer told me just now that truck is sitting at the departure lot currently with same delivery timeline I was told. At least that’s what they see. Seems crazy if they have this liner business settled down now! I hope we get surprised!
