01/03/22 Build Week

According to my dealer, they’re supposedly having issues getting people to work the rail yards

Dunno, I’ve seen a bunch of people get their trucks delivered with 1-2 almost everyday from Granger. It’s slow sure but this thing hasn’t moved in about 100 days.

Yeah that was his excuse for why my second build has been sitting idle for ~3 weeks

I'm from the 1/31 week, and my truck has been marked shipped according to Ford for over 7 weeks now. Based on my dealer it's still sitting at Ramp 58.

All the excuses are BS. The other thing I heard was they couldn't get drivers. They don't know any more than we do, which is sad.

I agree, if I wasn't getting such a good deal on this I'd be looking elsewhere. Maybe I should just wait for the 2023 lightning lottery.

The real kicker (to the nuts) is I changed my order to remove the long-lead BAP, just to see a brand new truck with BAP at work. I'm over this whole thing. And now with interest rates going up I'll probably get screwed on financing too! Rant over.

You won’t get screwed if you were smart signing at order time to lock in price and interest rates.

I did all that, with Chapman. Ill probably be fine - just a negative attitude to the whole process now. Haha.

Like clockwork. I am so over looking forward to owning a truck.

Still think it is strange that our windows are a day apart (mine was May1-7), but get pushed back on the same date (mine got pushed to May 16-22).

My dealer would not let me sign or lock in anything when I ordered in November. Said he could not do anything until the truck came in

And again.

And again.

Is this a chip hold?

Is this a chip hold?

Nope the VVR only shows shipping/carrier details. According to Ford and Granger the truck is complete. It’s active in FordPass since January, the modules list includes 754 etc.

No indication that it is not complete.

Any guesses?

Best I’ve heard is no one to work shipping. I’m waiting for my second truck to arrive it’s been sitting there for a month at this point. Look back for how my first one showed up

I could go on a rant about the current work ethic in this country but I think I'll just go wash my new truck. Still no coolant leaks after a 946 mi round trip (no freeways involved).

So my current VVR shows a "Plant Hold" as of 5/19 that was not there before. It might be something failing QA and the replacement part being back ordered? No idea.
