Tremor Scheduling Week 6/13 for Production Weeks 7/4 & 7/11

[SoCalEd]

Grabbed this from the Bronco6G forum.
F150s to be scheduled next week.

So I guess Ford 150 scheduling works like chip hold. They will build your truck in Jan and put it on chip hold until they build a whole bunch of new trucks before they remember your truck that has been sitting out in the sun for months. So if order in December or January and you get a Vin in April and then get bumped multiple times to the end of July, they will continue to schedule trucks ordered months after yours ahead of you. Ford is almost as screwed up as the Federal Government.

It seems like a big waste of time to keep sending more trucks to chip hold and then have to keep moving them around. According to the Long McArthur video, they expect to produce 68k trucks June-July. Are they really going to funnel them through chip hold?

Here's hoping I get scheduled.

Did you catch that they also said only 1-2% would be tremors?

At an assumed 1.5% we are still looking at over a thousand Tremors to be built. I think those are decent odds.

I understood that as for June production, not necessarily the July production weeks being scheduled here.

They need to schedule pretty soon, or they will end up being 23's. The 23 order banks are due to open in a little over a month.

Hopefully this helps move things along. Ford will need to spend more money on PDI.

You’re a glass half full guy. I like it.

Eh, life's too short to not hope for the best but plan for the worst.

I would like to know if this includes "Rusty Axles" ?

People have been complaining about rusty axles for years. I've owned 60 year cars and the rust doesn't really hurt anything other than looks. It's only surface rust. On something like the Tremor where I do want it to look good, I plan on dealing with that right away when it arrives.

I wonder how many people actually order the tremor though, 1.5% being tremor builds could be a high percentage of overall tremor orders, either way, hope one of em is mine! Been waiting 191 days for a VIN so far

 

[BDE]

Just as I'd given up hope, and started looking for regular f150s

 

[Escape Hatch]

Gives me promise. 1/29 ordered and confirmed.

I am optimistic we are due sooner rather than later, seeing the number of Platinums and high-level Lariats being picked up lately.

However, they will be building '22s through early October, so scheduling and uncertainty will likely continue into the first weeks of September for the later orders.

Your order still amazes me. The Co-Pilot Active package is literally the only thing separating you from many later Granger orders that were picked up and built weeks ago.

It's disheartening for sure.

It has spray in bedliner. He should remove that and it may schedule.
