Based on all available data, my guess is 32,768 built as MY22

Anyone else care to make up a number?

Thanks for your estimate. Based on my knowledge from reading all the posts, my estimate is slightly higher at 32,770.

Is this schedule just for fleet orders or does it also include retail orders? If not the latter, when do you expect Ford to announce the production schedule for retail orders?

My prediction is my22 production numbers will be 12,900 and it's backed by a proven method MATH.... Step 1) alphabet to number F=4+O=15+R=18+D=4=43. Step 2) 43×100= 4,300 because you have to. Step 3)4,300÷2=2,150 cause their making a couple. A couple is two. Step 4) 2,150×6=12,900 because the first order bank opened on the 6th day of January. Prove me wrong.

Paint.... Ask Ford their charging 500 bucks for red

Looks like Ford might have moved everyone up to Job #1 to meet the spring deadline…. Now those of us who ordered will be bitching and complaining about not seeing a scheduled production date on the order page ?

That is funny! I don’t think you are too far off. My bet is 15000.

I think (everyone's?) order sheets are saying Job#2 for their lightnings. You explained this to me earlier in this thread, that all lightnings are Job#2 because it's a major change to the 2022 F-150 year. Is it safe to assume that everyone, regardless of their order sheets being listed as Job#2, will still get scheduled in this Job#1 window? (I guess I am little confused)

Two different things.

Job1 for the Lightning is when sellable units are being built. It also is considered Job2 for the 2022 P702 program, which consists of F150 and Lightning.

Confusing? Yes.

Sorry if this is to far off of the thread topic, but does anything about the production details you are aware of suggest factory options like bed liner will be better or worse than with ICE F150 that is rumored to get delayed by these options?

They would both go to the same outside company to be sprayed. I don't see why there would be any difference between the Lightning and ICE F150 for install times.

The red paint is free. Ford charges for the tinted clearcoat.

What makes the Lightning different for accessibility to materials from the other models of F-150, Maverick or the Ranger??? Lmfao

Don't know, that's why I asked someone in Dearborn and not Gastonia. If it is a supplier issue, one might think Ford would change suppliers at model year change or product launch.

Spoke with my dealer and they recommended to not move forward with the factory sprayed bedliner. It could cause a delay (up to 2-4 weeks) since it's not done at the factory.
Better to get the car to your dealership and then decide on who you want to use for the bed spray!

Very true but that's the only option for Red on the Lightning

Urban myth. My dealer said this was a croc, told me to get what I want. My '21 KR PowerBoost was built in Dearborn on May 7 and delivered to me in Delray Beach on May 21, only 14 days later. The paint was barely dry. . It has a Ford spray-in liner. I find the "OEM" better than my former Line-X liners solely due to the Ford logo, but it is also way less hassle. Yes, it is done by a jobber in Dearborn, but they are high-volume and right across the street. Same for the rumors regarding retractable bed cover, which for some reason is not an option on the Lightning, so will have to order separately.
