How long after ordering do you get the email with the VIN and Build Date

Update: My truck took 9 weeks from order to delivery

Was yours shipped by convoy or rail? (It'll be on the bottom of your window sticker)

Just got my order confirmed yesterday. Carbonized Grey Metallic, Coyote V8, 402A, torsen diff, moon roof, tow package,, Pro power and spray in bed liner.

Once it arrives I'm getting the supercharger ordered for it. Yes, there's a supercharger for the propower... P/N M-6066-F150-SCB.

Mine shipped via rail

Mine shipped via rail

Thanks! So ~2 weeks to Utah. Probably 2.5+ to Vegas. I guess I bought my accessories way too early.

Order date was May 10. Tracker currently showing "In Production" for week of 6/19 completion. Window Sticker went live this past Monday and having ordered 4 Ford vehicles, since 2015, I've found it pretty consistent the window sticker goes live +/- 1 week before the truck is built.

I guess I better have my dealership look into my order seems your guys are all moving faster.

Shipping has been a big issue for a while. There's a major shortage of truck drivers. Truckers have far more business then they can handle.

According to the dealer update today, there's also a shortage on rail cars. Still not shipped, new date says maybe the end of the month.

Just got the update my truck was built yesterday. Hopefully it doesn’t take 2 months to ship.

Same here, got the "Built and Shipped" e-mail this morning. Window Sticker says "CONVOY" so mine will be on a truck could be 2 days or 2 weeks. The last truck I ordered took 3 days in transport.....but I realize nothing is normal these days.

what does your window sticker say with shipping? does it say convoy or rail?

 

[Dg2408]

Mine is by rail. Is one faster than the other?

Truck is typically faster. All depends on where it leaves from on a railcar and where it is headed. Rail switch yards seem to be the choke point for shipping delays via rail.

That’s great that yours has already shipped. I’m hoping for no more than 3 weeks to get mine shipped to California.

Hopefully you have better luck than what I'm experiencing. The truck was built on 5/21, supposedly shipping by rail. It's still sitting in a lot somewhere collecting dust today.

That sucks man. Is there a number you can call to see what the hold up is? This is going to be a work truck so I hope it doesn’t take 3 months to ship.

Calling the Ford contact us line only gets you a rep that can only get the basic status, the same thing that shows on the order tracker, and they say to talk to your dealer for more information. My dealer also can't see any explanation of what's going on other than maybe it's rail car shortages.

Have you heard any news yet about the rail at shipping? Mine is still in the built category

 

[Thrush]

The dealer sent me an email today saying it's still waiting to get shipped. The wait continues.

I ordered mine in mid-August 2022, didn’t get a VIN and build date until early June 2023…

So this just arrived in my email... Today's June 27th. I'd be pleasantly surprised.
