May 9th Build Week Thread

[TJE]

Just chatted with Ford...I am more confused now than I was before. They verified that the email was not a mistake that it is listed as built and awaiting shipment. However there a "chip at plant on hold" attached to the order. She said there was a secondary status that it will be released from chip hold today..... why would they list it as built awaiting shipment if there's a chip hold on it? I've got nothing haha

Explains the recent article I read about Ford purchasing 20,000 Magic Eight Balls from Mattel. Kidding, but what a massive cluster from such a large company commanding the resources that they do..

Chat basically seems useless from the time of your blend date until you get the Shipped e-mail from Ford. I don't think I've seen a single person on the Gen14 forums get accurate information from Ford during that time.

My dealer says it's showing built on his end too, just not on the tracker yet...so I'll relax when the tracker updates and/or I get a shipped email

Ford Tracker now showing built, Order Track App says awaiting shipment. My dealer checked into it and it's no longer showing any holds. IF this is all true, might be the shortest chip hold in Ford history... we'll know for sure when it ships.

Called in, supposedly built & chip hold with delivery ETA of 6/2.

Would you mind, once you take delivery, pulling off all of your chips and mailing them to me so I can drive to Ramp 51 and put them on my truck to make it go vroom??

I'll tell them to mail you mine when they come in.

And those things don't have shit for features in comparison to the higher end trucks.

Saw that over there and my stomach dropped. I'm the same blend date as you, also 402a, and mine is still showing as "in production" on the ford site.

I haven't gone down the rabbit hole of the advanced tracking methods others are chasing. If I spend too much more time obsessing over this thing I'll be unemployed when (if?) it arrives! Sheesh.

Yeah, everyone else with that build week on chip hold was told sometime in June. Will those dates be pushed? Probably. But October to start.....still trying to wrap my head around it

Might be worth reaching out to the dealer to see if there are holds. You can also ask chat, but its pretty hit or miss on whether you get accurate information. As confusing as my chat was this morning, they seemed to be right this time.

Everyone in this thread clenching cheeks hoping to God they don't end up like that poor sob with the STX

Until he said it was an STX I was wondering what kind of convertible all electric raptor unicorn he ordered...

Aaaand a guy with a Lariat was just told Chip Hold until end of September...........

All this talk is giving me a feeling that my order may get bumped to a 2023. I use to joke about it but every week it seems like its getting closer to reality

Maybe there will be more suspension options by the time you get your truck
