would love to know how it is possible after being delayed over and over throughout the year that my truck is still not built with a blend date of 11/07. Care to explain @Ford Motor Company ?
Same boat as you. Super frustrating seeing others build and ship even when their blend is after.. I intentionally didn't pick extra accessories and bed liner to try to make it.. the process is frustrating to say the least..

It's honestly pathetic, and the fact they are still saying its because of covid. Covid is the scapegoat for companies being ran into the ground.

I had a blend date of 11/4 for a Lariat ER and share your frustration. I am still showing "in production". It is not showing as built. I have been told it is on chip hold. I have been told it has been delivered to the carrier but there is a rail car delay/shortage. No one seems to be willing or able to say exactly why later produced Lariat ERs are being shipped while ours are just sitting.

Who told u it was delivered to the carrier, the dealer or customer service?

This really seems like a bug or lack of update in the Ford tracking system.

I have a good feeling this week will show as much progress as last week, several trucks marked built, and more to come!

I hope so, I'm tired of being on chip hold. Definitely irritating seeing later build weeks getting built before those from last month

It was the Ford Regional manager in an email to my dealer after I asked the dealer to contact the Regional manager.

My question as well. I’m calling my lawyer if this truck doesn’t arrive by the end of the year.

Yeah, this is what I'm afraid of with mine that's been on chip hold now for a month. Seen some reports on these forums and elsewhere getting ship notices or finally taking delivery after having production/blend dates back in august or September. My own dealership sold their platinum mannequin a little over a week ago and replaced it with a customer ordered Lariat that the customer walked away from after it being on hold forever -- blend date September 18!. It has to finish the terms of their original mannequin so they can't sell it until February. They asked if I would be interested in it if my '23 doesn't arrive by then! It's unsettling that's a real possibility. I passed on signing up for this new mannequin as I don't want to wait until February and it doesn't have the max tow package.

FWIW, my 11/07 build week Lariat ER had a blend date of 11/10 and showed chip hold as of 11/14. It changed to built status on 12/9, tracker started showing that on 12/10. No shipping notice or ETA yet.

11/06 blend, still stuck in this chip hold purgatory. It sucks it's not going to be here before the new year. Even more ridiculous since I ordered it back in January.

I'm pulling up a chair in this waiting room. From what I've read, some of these chip holds are very short... some, just a couple days. I spoke with a Ford rep today and she said that as far as the chip hold, it will be from Jan-24th to Jan 30th. She wasn't sure if that window was for delivery or for chip installation.
