Blend Date!

[Sundroop3]

This is what mine says at the top of my window sticker. What does this mean?

Blend date of 12/07/2021. Have you received any Ford email updates?

Was it going by rail or convoy?

Rail

Rail

I wonder if convoy is faster. Seems like there’s fewer steps to doing convoy. Not quite as many holding yards….

Well good news is they make 2000 a day

Holy smokes! 2000 a day! Well that means they roll over the 10000 every 5 days and start the numbers fresh.
Thanks for putting that into perspective my dude. That's a lot of automobiles!

Well, that was just quick math assuming they sell over 700,000 a year.

They sell over 1M a year I'm just the US if I remember correctly. Highest selling truck for 4 decades.

Not sure they have ever hit a million in the US. But probably ad in Canada and Mexico (though they call it the Lobo there) they are probably over a million some years.

Ya just looked it up again, its globally almost 1.1M/year as of recent. I think the closest brand behind is dodge and they lag by a couple hundred thousand. Then Chevy. Toyota and Nissan with an omegalol small market share at the bottom (though I'm a big tacoma fan)

I though Toyota beat GM globally last year? ( I have two)

For vehicles in general I'm sure, but not for trucks I don't think. Tried looking for the chart I saw a few months ago but can't find it. The truck market in the US is so much bigger than in the rest of the world that if you lag behind here, you lag behind in total numbers. I think that's what hurts them.

I’m in a built 2015 Tacoma now. 6 speed manual OffRoad. Absolutely love it. But it’s sadly gotten too small as of late.

The shipping info is in the bottom middle box. It should say "rail" or "convoy".
I expect to get a ford email once the truck is built and shipped.

Interesting yours says convoy. Mine was rail to KC then truck to Granger.

As my buddy would say, “sucks to be you”. Seriously, it’ll get there and it’s gonna be great! Look on the bright side, you could be me who waited 1.5 years for a Bronco and couldn’t get a delivery date!

When I asked Chip he said it was just KC so I wonder if that's the drop off point for Granger from rail and from there it goes to a truck. Maybe mine is almost there :]

I was going to wait for the new 6 speed TRD pro tacoma but they're nuts with what they are charging. 10k more at Granger and got a fully loaded tremor full size pickup.

Hard to argue with almost double the torque….

Same here about the ford tracker. I only found my sticker by accident on another forums tracking page. Probably the same link you found here. The truck "info" still doesn't work, but for some reason the sticker is now available.
And now I can see my module build so I know the truck is an actual thing now.

Its strange to me that your "blend" date is lower than mine when my build week was set for 12/03..
Maybe they went around 10000 already?
Or maybe you still made it in front of mine?
Either way there is about 1000 trucks between ours.

At this point I know way more about fords production line than I think I ever thought i could. Its kind of cool.

Where do you see the shipping info for yours though?

Mind sharing that tracker?
