When was your blend date / build date?

 

[Fozzy]

what does that even mean? Can you start it while its on the transport truck or do you have it in your possession? My pic shows a black Tremor not a lighting or did you get one? Either way I'm happy for you, jealous and bitter.

I’ve read it means the truck is making progress toward being ready to be shipped. Maybe it means it has enough chips installed to be started up and active enough to recognize the app?
Not sure if anyone has tracked how it relates to actual delivery dates but that would be interesting to know.

It means one of the last modules has been installed as far as I know. You're either shipping or very close to it.

Unfortunately shipping is a whole other slog of wait due to the lack of drivers and whatnot. My shipping was longer than most, but it took over 30 days to get to Granger, most of the time just sitting 2 hours away at KC after it got off the rail.

Did you sign anything that said your deposit was non-refundable? If so, it might be hard to get it back.

I might recommend if they wont give your deposit back to not cancel the order just yet. Even if you are going to go elsewhere... Here is why.

I had a $1k down on a dealer inventory order, they even let me change the color (this was back in September.) Then this group comes along and I realize I can save a ton of money ordering through Granger. So I place a 2nd order through Granger and ask for my $1k back from the local dealership. They say, no can do... you signed a non-refundable deposit, which I did.

So I say "ok", and keep both orders coming. Then as soon as the dealer inventory order hit the lot, I asked in a different way... I said, "Hey, my plans have changed and I'm not sure this truck is going to fit my needs... could you guys want to sell this truck off your lot?" They said yes, and gave me my $1k back.

Might not work for you... but with the inventory shortage, I think your dealer will have a lot more motivation to give your deposit back when he has that truck on his lot then now we he has you locked into a future contract.

I was originally told no on my $500 refund. I wrote a rather scathing statement detailing all the delays on their Facebook site and within 10 mins I had a phone call saying they were processing my refund. That was Thursday and Monday I received a check.
Social media can be a great ally

Mine has the activated button today too!!!! My tracker never had any dates, and ETA or built. My window sticker finally populated once it went into production which gave me blend date of 2/10. Tracker has shown "In production" almost all of feb.

Blend date 2/10
Been "in production" for over 4 weeks now. Finally says "built" 2/28
No ETA listed
Activate button today 3/1

So who knows...

Mine has been "in production" from 1/16 still no "built" but I did get the activate button I think a week or so ago and today the ETA under my vin on tracker disappeared.

Ford Canada tracker is back up. Too bad it still doesn't work.

Still waiting on my truck ordered Oct 8 last year. Blend date of Jan 12.

I really hope the truck doesn't show up with everything rusted underneath because it sat on a lot somewhere for 3 months.

 

[Fozzy]

What do you guys think of the Ford Tracker taking down the estimated delivery date? Could be they are allocating chips for our trucks or are we just more screwed?

I wondered the same thing. I can't imagine that the dates were accurate in the first place moving everything 3 months? But that's only my opinion which doesn't mean anything.

I did notice that my window sticker changed tomorrow... oddly enough.

Today is March 1st as far as I can tell but the date on my window sticker says it changed tomorrow March 2nd. Go figure.

Factory ordered by 11 raptor and didn’t care when it came or even tracked it once..lol, difference now is sold my daily driver and then bam got bumped….wtf…..just getting by with a 2wd shop truck for now

me too, sold my truck the week mine was coming in and bam, delayed 3 months!
I too was driving a shop truck with a plow!
I was lucky to find a 22' Tundra that was coming in 2 weeks at MSRP, I scooped it up and got it 2 weeks ago.
it is a nice truck and when Tremor comes in I will be taking that one as well then selling one of them?

It could be that the tracker is updated on eastern time? When I look at your post it shows that you posted it at 12:44AM on March 2nd.

Just got off the phone with Ford Marketing. As usual, they don't have any updates on the truck that seems to be in perpetual purgatory. The lady on the phone did tell me that I have a PCO for $2,000 though which is great news. Would I trade and extra 2 month wait for $2k? The answer is yes from me! Now lets just hope that the truck comes in before that expires...

Hey Guys, my update is boring lol I had my expected delivery date change to 4/24. I talked to my dealer and he said that would not happen. After being gone for a week of vacation i got back and well there is no date on the site now at all. I can see the truck in my ford app but that is all. No emails or anything from ford. What upsets me the most is i am going to lose 3k in rebates if its not here by april 3rd.

Good point! Didn’t even think of that!
