Could be the BC. I didn’t order BC, no moonroof, no Torsen. As you’ve seen on here, there’s no reason to production, tracker is whacky, Ford Chat not much help, delivery dates all over the place. Expect 5 months is my adviceCongratulations. I have a similar set up (no spray in or 2.0) but no date from Ford.
When I reached out to Granger in February they mentioned it was BC holding it up. A month later on a Ford chat, they mentioned the hold is gone. (Several others have recently reported scheduling of BC-equipped Tremors). Hopefully I’ll get a production slot soon. Ordered 12/9.
How long after placing the order did you get the email with the vin and build date?I ordered a F150 Tremor recently from Granger and am curious how long your wait was from placing the order to delivery. Thanks.
Mine is basically the same build, except i got BC ,spray in liner, underseat storage, and center console safeI placed my order on 2/28 and received email today from Ford for build week of 4/17. 402A, Trailer Tow, B&O Unleashed, Torsen, Bed Utility
Ordered 11/22Mine is basically the same build, except i got BC ,spray in liner, underseat storage, and center console safe
Spray in liner seems to be a big hold up in some of the videos I've watched. Tim Bartz always says you're better off to drop anything you could have the dealer add.Mine is basically the same build, except i got BC ,spray in liner, underseat storage, and center console safe
I'm bored at work right now after having a very busy week before today, so I'm looking at window stickers at my current dealership. One says it is 'in transit' and has a blend date of 20230322 on the sticker and still has no blue cruise, heated steering wheel, and is missing the bed camera. First sticker I have personally seen missing the bed camera. Another one has a blend date of 20230131 and it does have the bed camera. Also none of their five tremors have Unleashed. And they have a '22 sitting there that keeps tempting me with its HSW, Bluecruise, and Torsen, but anyway its window sticker says blended '20220815' and I know they told me about this one when I was looking but didn't know when it would be in and it just came in like 2-3 weeks ago so holy long wait time on that one.
Of course all of these could have just been ordered without BlueCruise if the dealerships knew that has been holding things up. Not sure what I'm trying to say with this post but find this whole process interesting/frustrating/annoying. And I didn't even build mine haha. Just walked on the lot and found one that had everything I wanted (except HSW). I didn't even know what BlueCruise was when I bought the truck. Had no idea Ford even offered this technology. Now I wish I had and between that and the HSW I may have looked for a '22 or waited or something. Ah well.
I'm taking delivery on the south side of Chicago, so im hopeful it wont go on the rails.I think part of the problem is the fact that demand is fluid. The part where you mention that dealers weren’t aware about BlueCruise, could be solely due to the fact that their wasn’t the BC demand at that time. I would hate to be trying to forecast anything in this todays market.
I stopped in at a local dealer earlier this week, who has a ‘23 Raptor on the lot. They told me they have had three Tremors ordered since November with no build date info yet. He asked me if I wanted the Raptor for 15k over sticker, and was shocked when I declined telling him I ordered my Tremor on 2/16, already have the VIN and build date of 4/10.
The other component right now is the delivery from build to dealer due to rail car delays. I was speaking with an A Plan purchaser couple of weeks ago, whose Tremor sat in Dearborn, for two months complete and drivable waiting for the railway to take it to the Kansas City area. He just received his two weeks ago. He had ordered it in October of ‘22. Luckily for me, I bypass this component, as I take delivery in Dearborn.

I didn’t order BC, because I heard it was causing delays. Wife’s Xpedition Plat has it for our long road-trips. It’s nice, but not fully autonomous, and only on included highways…lane correction and adaptive cruise gets you 80% there.Raptor will not have BlueCruise anyway
