✅ 8/7/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[TaxmanHog]

I have again "escalated" my concerns to Ford to ascertain if the Truck truly is released to Transit or something else. Assuming 3 weeks for Train and Convey - the Truck should be in transit or close to it to make it to NH before the end of the month. Since other Trucks appear to be moving and in later AUG build dates per your tracking - I am unfortunately growing concerned "my" truck is in fact in offsite storage and not "released" as Ford Corporate says based on their "secondary" system.

You're welcome to share your VIN in a DM, I'd like to see the dates tracker, or you can capture a screen shot and post here. I'm assuming you have a built date and just waiting on a shipped date.

so... with the Ford cash dealio I'm seeing Lariats in stock priced lower than my XLT msrp. I don't want leather seats but I'm going to have to see what my dealer is going to do on price. Anyone else with an XLT+ order in the same boat?

That's me.

In MA/VT/NH - there do not appear to be ER lariats on the lots - they say "dealer ordered" or "extended inventory" If I actually see on on a lot - I might bite and cancel my current order - if the truck does not actually ship soon. Hopefully this coming week will be a week of actions.

This is what I just did. Still waiting for my xlt er and found a July build lariat er for basically the same price on a dealer lot and pulled the trigger on it. Didn’t want all the lariat extras but thought I’d give it a try.

So I got some "good news" and some "bad news" on my Order. The "good news" is that Ford updated my status. The "bad news" is they pushed out the delivery window. Not totally unexpected as I expect it will take at least 3 weeks by rail/convoy to get the truck to NH. Had hoped it would have stayed in the window by the end of OCT.

I guess they touched my truck or moved it for the last updated to be charged?

Here's hoping Trucks are getting to dealers for all.

just heard from the dealer.. they said the truck is on rail in wisconsin (going to MN). They are claiming an ETA of 10/17-23..

This is great news. I hope Ford will put some priority on transporting Trucks to the Northeast soon

My status track went back to Order Confirmed this morning. My dealer reached out to me this afternoon to let me know that my truck is on the way and could get here "any day".

Ford.com shows an estimated delivery of 10/11-10/17. Window sticker lists convoy and I live in MD, so it could arrive by then.

What part of MD?

BTW, all Lightning stickers display CONVOY, though many start their journey on a rail car from the Rouge, IIRC some locations in MD are within range of a day trip or overnight truck ride. [Cumberland]

Frederick, MD, which is about 90 miles to the East of Cumberland.
