[Tremors]

They are not going to do this whole process to us again for another few months.

Whew! Ok, Thanks!

@TJE Don't know this to be true but I did see this on another forum yesterday, not sure if you have a moonroof or not.

If you have a sunroof, don't expect to be selected this week. No product among other parts unavailable, per the dealer I have my truck on order with.

All good, no moonroof for me! You?
I will be frantically checking my email today. Hopefully someone gets some good news.

Nice clear message from Ford there. If I were a pessimist I would believe the least favorable email, if I were an optimist I would believe it's being delivered....

It was a good day. I can confirm ford does make an actual tremor!
All Joking aside all i can say is WOW.
I have had a few f150's and f250's
and as far as fit and finish this one takes the prize. (i know its new)
Now the hard part, what to do next!!!
Thinking of a level but just not sure if i want to do it

Man, you are really making me consider ordering a camper shell. I had one on my Tacoma and loved the utility.

10/10 excited now for my Oxford White and ARE shell.

My order changed to in production this morning, and then back to confirmed a few hours later. J/K says Ford.

So in a way I can see Ford's view of keeping the assembly line going full time. I mean they have a bunch of employee's that they need to keep employed right?

But I sure hope they have the wiper motors, and other crap set aside for the trucks built 2 months ago so those can also be completed simultaneously with the trucks coming off the line, right?

They can't be that unorganized?

Tell me they are not going to do this whole process to us again for another few months?

If they decide to push our trucks out another 3-4 months while continuing to build other trucks, I will definitely be over it. I’ll let my dealer sell the truck whenever it never comes in. I’ll order again next year or the year after that. I can’t even say I have a car that I can rely I on, I’m just more than over this whole process.

Have had a few with and a few without. I have come to love them. Lock up well and safer for the items I have back there. not ridiculously heavy if you have to take it off either

Well for what it’s worth, talked to my dealer rep and he said…….truck is showing on a rail car….lol …..whoop whoop

Good to hear a Jan 10th truck is shipped! Congrats

 

[Tremors]

Would a few be willing to lie and say they got their built emails this week?

I need me some motivation!!

Mine is shipping

It's Sunday and the tracker loaded my truck. Window sticker is updated at the bottom to 3/27/2022. Nothing has been added or deleted on the window sticker. As mentioned above I am so over this process. Just not sure I want to give up as this is the only vehicle I will ever own that I have memorized the VIN #.

My window sticker updates every Monday it seems. Not sure if it means anything.

That made me laugh

With that said... I'm pretty discouraged too. I keep thinking about looking elsewhere and finding another truck. I went to look at the new Tundra a few different times. Honestly though, I'm just not that impressed. I loved my old Tundra... but the new design isn't anything I get excited about.

I also looked at used Gen2 Raptor's. It may have been you that mentioned, but realized the low payload kills me / can't tow our boat with it.

I can honestly hang in there until the first of May without a truck... But I dread being caught with my pants down if another 6 weeks go by and there is no movement. I just don't want to be backed into a corner buying something for $10k over MSRP that I don't want / or missing out on stuff we have planned this summer.

My phone knows....every time I type f150 tremor forums into Google, it pulls up a bunch of ads for gen 2 raptors in my area....

Mine was updating once a week since issued.

The problem is that I want this truck, but I’m also stubborn as hell and I’m unbelievably pissed at the way ford has gone about keeping me informed on a 70k plus truck. If used prices start to drop or new inventory shows up on the lot that I like before my order does. I will definitely go that route.
