May 9th Build Week Thread

[Kingsnake41]

I had a May 2 build week, once sticker was released it had a May 8 blend date, it went to “built” on May 9 and the estimated shipping time to dealer is between June 1 and June 7.

Didn't get an email for May 9th Build week, but got one this morning for May 9th Built week! Tears in eyes, as truck came out of purgatory, after 40 days "In Production". Now onto a different mode of badgering Ford employees..

Awesome - congrats!

Got my sticker

Nice! 5/21 blend. You should be locked in now at least for production. Can’t promise anything on being completely built though.

Same here. This thread had me preparing for more disappointment yesterday. Happy to finally see some movement.

Some news from the Gen14 forums, guy with a blend date Monday is now on chip hold for wiper motors. His was a Dearborn build. No one else from the build week is on chip hold yet, but I think his was the first built out of the group. A few built in Kansas have been marked built and awaiting shipment.

Nice!

Holy smokes our trucks are almost identical. I do wish I had the 2k power and torsen, but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it.

Congrats, awesome for you! Doesn't look like I am so lucky. I am now hoping that I haven't been pushed to June 20 like a few others on here.

I am going in the wrong direction, 5/16 to 5/23 and now 5/30. I used to look forward to Fridays!

at least they only pushed your production date back a week...they pushed mine back an entire month!! 05/23 to 06/20!!

I really thought things were moving in the right direction. Build dates moving up, most of the 5/2 build week trucks have been shipped....it was all going too well.

well, truth be told, this is my luck in everything in life. nothing can go smoothly for me. guess it's ultimately for a reason.

I also received an email bumping me from 6/6 to 6/20.

402a, torsen, moonroof, bed package, no bed liner or blue cruise

Jan 14 seems to be a unlucky order date! lol

Mine is in production! Finally lol. One problem though is it only shows the Tow Tech package and not the tow package. My dealer is looking into it now but they believe ford finally combined the two. Has anyone else heard of this yet?

No Tow Package is still a $445 add onto the 402A.

Thats not good. I wonder if that's been the same module we've all been on hold for out of Dearborn. Reckon I can offer Ford to ship it when they get it and I'll install it? Until then...

Did some digging today and spoke to my dealer to figure out what I'd be missing without the tow package. I was able to find a march revision of the 2022 F-150 towing guide.

https://www.fleet.ford.com/content/dam/aem_fleet/en_us/fleet/towing-guides/2022_Ford_RVandTrailerTowingGuide.pdf

Basically page 19 shows that the only thing the two tech package is missing is the 2in. hitch receiver and the 4 / 7 pin wire harness. This sounds bazar to me. Has anyone who didn't order the tow package get a truck without a hitch receiver and the 4 / 7 pin harness?

Someone did find a part and asked for Ford's address haha. So far he's the only one who's officially been put on hold, had one shipped already, but it was out of Kansas City, not Dearborn. So they've got them in KC at least....anyone up for a road trip?

 

[ORTTremor89]

Id imagine this is definitely a mistake so not getting my hopes up (tracker just updated to in production today) . They're playing with my emotions!

Well, that's another awesome Friday, I received another email from Ford today pushing my build date again. Now instead of week of June 20th, now it's week of July 11th. So another 21 days.
