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

[JL13]

Thank you for sharing, if you are getting spray in bed liner these numbers and a couple others will change tomorrow morning, save a PDF copy of this version, then if you a different version tomorrow save that one too.

This is the largest number [1530] of Lightnings scheduled for a week since production began in early 2022!

Here is the top of my updated window sticker as of today 07/27/2023:

Any particular significance about the updated information?
Is the blend date of 08/11 equivalent to the truck build completion date?
Thank you for any additional information provided; it's very much appreciated.

The change in coding is not critical to the timing and build process except that your truck will leave the Rouge factory, move to a holding lot adjacent to the spray in liner shop, once that's done, it moves to the staging lot awaiting a scheduled load onto a train to your part the country if far away, or onto a convoy tractor trailer.

Blend date is the day the major components make their way down the assembly line, over the course of a few hours the truck is completed, though it won't receive a "BUILT" date for a few days depending on what is happening with it's systems passing QC and any in factory add-ons, ex your spray in liner.

This is an example of a 6/13/23 blend date, it went into production a day early 6/12.
Marked BUILT on 6/20 then shipped on 7/3
This truck was just delivered to my dealer in Mass. on 7/27
The truck had a drop-in bedliner.

Thank you for all that extra information.... Just have to be patient for another month or two; very short time compared to the 2+ years of waiting for converting a reservation into a build...

I keep getting a voicemail from a company that is calling me about my F150 charge station pro... return number 844-975-4057.. seems like SPAMish or a sales pitch. is anyone else getting these calls?

Might be scammers, folks have reported the number to ROBOCALL

 

[Count Orlok]

what is the proper means of celebrating your blend day? I'm thinking chocolate cake and a tawny port.

 

[Losi]

Sounds darn good to me.

 

[ncollins516]

My blend date is the 11th... so a bit more waiting..

figured it out.. I'm also using a computer with Chrome as my browser..

what I was looking at was when I log into ford.com and look at the order details of the order linked to profile.

The other view you have is when you enter your 4 digit order number and vin in order status via shop.ford.com..

shockingly not all the same views..

Correct, only you have access to your personal order page, while I have been researching builds via the public tracking system, It's been so long since my 2022 Lariat*ER was built and delivered [8/4/2022]

I just logged in to see if it's still visible, sure enough!!
