May 9th Build Week Thread

[Bakes]

Just picked her up! I'm beyond ecstatic! However on the walk through i found a couple scratches and paint defects. Dealer is going to take care of it. Also hearing a weird sound from the front right wheel, almost like loose change. 20 miles on it amd already on a lift lol. Make sure you let someone roll the truck while you walk around...

Turns out the dust cap for the 4x4 on that side was damaged when it was installed and likely came off on the test drive.

Working man hands!

Where does that dust cap go?

 

[Bakes]

I believe it covers the nut that threads on the end of the axle.

I'm participating in this thread even though I had a 3/25 build date. Just this week I finally got the "built" and then "shipped" email. Can someone post a link they've bookmarked on how to track the on-rail shipments? I've poked around and can't find it in this thread. Thanks! (see dates in signature if you're interested)

Also works with CNRail as well. I actually did not have any luck using it. Every time I called, I got the same info about it being loaded in Michigan. The Ford Chat actually had better updates and locations of the truck.

Some good news. My truck finally arrived at Granger. Just need to wait for it to get processed so I can get a date scheduled to pick up

Nice!

Crazy your truck was built 3 days before mine, and mine still hasn’t even been shipped yet.

It’s all a total crapshoot; 0 chance I’ll get mine before my trip.

Nice! Mine was built in January and currently sitting in KC MO truck yard

Just received my 8th change email but this time it moved up! From week of July 25th to the 18th. Hope they're not just teasing me.

Add me to list moving up from July 25 to 18.

 

[leddzep]

I also moved from 7/25 to 7/18. Finally a move in the right direction, but not confident it will stick.

 

[Lazarus11]

I am still 8/1. All of my Ford emails have been delivered around 8 PM. So there is still hope for getting moved up.

Talked to Ford again today.

Truck was built on 5/31.

Originally scheduled to be delivered 6/26.

Ford chat said (today) 6/29-7/5 delivery date; clearly not happening.

Truck is still in Dearborn. Has been released and no holds. Apparently it got parked at the back of the lot behind a bunch of ones coming directly off the line.

Completely ridiculous.

Can't be expecting Ford to inconvenience those who haven't been inconvenienced! Just keep pile on the shit to the rest of the gang who have already been through the ringer. Shipping & logistic delays, yes. It doesn't count though when you're shipping freshly built trucks off the line, over ours.

Chat is worthless, even more so with shipping. Just waiting for my 3rd shipping delayed email and eventually the call from the dealership.
My hope is that it ends up being the mystery shipment that isn't tracked but appears at Granger!

I’m a Granger order also. In the same boat hoping for mystery shipment.

I can help Ford out by driving the ~2.5 hours to Dearborn to get my truck. It'll save me the additional 8 hours from Granger .

First communication from Ford in 6 weeks.

Order date 1/6.
Built date 5/31.
Still not shipped. Estimated delivery date has changed 3x now.

I travel for work to Auburn Hills, MI and drive past The Palace (pistons old arena); the parking lot has always had a bunch of F150s in it, but this week the whole thing was almost full of brand new trucks. Hundreds if not a few thousand F150s sitting there baking in the sun. Clear they wanted to hit production quotas wrapping up q2.

Was tempted to start walking around looking for my truck but figured there’s just a bit of security for the millions of $$ of inventory sitting there.

Same.
Looks like smoke but it’s possible there’s some movement.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Complete satisfaction is shipping our mf trucks

I'm still in the 7/10-7/16 shipping window with no update so I'm assuming my next update will come in August when they "apologize" for delays.

 

[AzzA]

Well boys I finally got my window sticker and blend date! Now I am crossing my fingers that it all goes smooth from there.
Maybe if I am lucky I will catch back up and not be too far behind some of you guys getting truck in hand... don't really expect that though haha!
