Truck 'In Production' for almost a week - anyone else?

[fg3]

My sticker has a build date of 1/22, order tracker says build date of 1/23. Truck status is still 'In Production'.

Anyone else in the same boat or have any idea why this is?

VIN: 1FTFW1ED7MFA85674

Thanks!

yea, mine is "In Production" too...has been this way for a few days even though sticker suggests that actual date for build is tomorrow (1/29). In Production could just be a status for the week your build gets picked up by Ford.

Call your dealer they can get you an update. Dealership uses a different website to get better info. My build date was 1/28. but my dealer called me to tell me it started production on 1/24.

Mine was scheduled for 1-24
The trackers imply it was done on 1-25.
However, both trackers still say “in production”, but both also give me an ETA
of 2-22 for delivery to dealer

I’m in the same boat. Sticker has a build date of 01/22 and tracker shows build date of 01/24 and hasn’t come out of “In Production”. My dealer called me on 01/25 and said my truck was in the body shop getting the spray in liner. I’m not confident all is well.

I’m not concerned at all. I think maybe a couple items are done off site.
Pretty sure the spray in bedliner is an off site addition.
I don’t have that, but I did order a drop in liner, and perhaps the step bars are offsite as well—not sure.

Pretty sure all is well, but I’m not liking the 26 day delivery ETA

Mine is just about the same but 1/23 and 1/24.
Showing awaiting shipping and should arrive 2/6.

Ordered 9-17-20, mid Dec given VIN, dealer gave me build week 1-18, sticker states built on 1-14-21, called dealer today 1-28 in transit should be at dealer tomorrow. VIN tracker site states “ in production “ with no ship date or transit date. A competent dealer can get more update information than we can.

Yep "scheduled for prod 1/22/2021" but is still in production and not "built". No ETA or transit.

The site has been slow. I got a window sticker about 1 week prior. My original build date was 1/24 and nothing showed until 1/26 saying it was built on 1/25. It still showed "in production" for a while, then it took several days to say shipped with estimated delivery date of 2/20.

Im in the same boat, Mine was built 1/22, still has yet to move off of "in production".

Have you contacted your dealer? If so, what do they say?

Kind of amazing with a multi-billion dollar company cant keep its own customers informed. The old model of dealerships need to die, Tesla has the right idea i think.

Keep in mind, we out here are not Ford’s customers.
Ford dealers are Ford’s customers and technically are the only entities Ford has to answer to. I’m not suggesting they are not concerned about us, but they may have enough irons in the fire.
Like the weird failings of a new product.
Let Ford work this crap out, and the dealer sort out and honestly relay the delivery issues.
I’m actually surprised that we can somewhat monitor once we get a VIN.
We are Ford dealer customers

Well thats the problem right there, they need to be more connected with their customers, IMHO. Doesnt mean Im right.
