According to Ford, the truck is still awaiting shipping now. How this can be?
Serious question? So you also haven't heard about the semi-truck driver shortage and the rail conductor shortage?

Production day of 3-22 and on chip hold. I’ve been pushed back for completion 4 times now, June 14th being the latest. I have an AT4 reserved as a back up but man Ford is making that choice easier.

Yeah, I may have heard something about shipping & transportation issues. Unfortunately, this has been going on for a long time & there is no end in sight.

It is however extremely difficult to be patient when Ford notified me 6 weeks ago that the truck had been built & was awaiting shipping, with a link to the Ford Tracker. When I look at the Ford Tracker, it clearly states, "This next step could take a few days to a week". Meanwhile, 6 weeks & multiple emails later the can continues to get kicked down the road. And while I am genuinely happy for those who get their vehicles quickly, it is really frustrating to see trucks ordered a couple months after mine, with very similar features, already delivered in my area.

On the bright side, your not on permanent chip hold like a bunch of us. Ford kicked that can to late June.

So true. For that, I am thankful. Small victories. Right!
For sure. The shipping portion is full of horror stories also, but there is a light at the end of that tunnel.
I'm stuck with my order, its hard to find 157 wheel base Lariat with max tow and tow mirrors. I check inventory within 100 miles of my location way to often.
Watching the 5/2 week ship and 5/9 week get built emails is f'in brutal

Talked to chat last week and was told 5/20. Talked to my dealer today and was told the end of June 26th thru the 2nd of July.

Same boat here. I just got bumped back another week with no movement from Melvindale. Feels like it is a black hole once it gets there

Yep. It seems like it all depends whether or not they run out of parts the few days yours goes down the line. If it does it's pulled into a holding lot where it's left to rot.

One of my local dealers has 4 Raptors in transit all built in April and May, more optioned than the one I ordered, while mine has been sitting in-production since mid-March.

It's incredibly irritating.

Yea whomever is in charge of this needs to be fired as all they are doing is damaging the brand and pissing off even the loyal Ford people. We know there are issues with chips and drivers and commodities, but letting one guy’s truck sit in a lot for months while building and delivering an identical truck 6 weeks later while the others sit and rust, nope def not good business

I am right there with you guys. My personal ordered truck is now in its 7th week awaiting shipping, after Ford had said that it was complete, & should be shipped within a week. Meanwhile, much later built trucks continue to arrive at my dealer.

I of course know that there are real transportation issues that are completely out of Ford's control. It does however blow my mind that Ford cannot manage their logistics to be able to complete & ship vehicles in anything even remotely approaching a sequential basis.

Ford is fully engaged in executing the perfect plan to run off any potential new business from existing Customers.
