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

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.Serious question? So you also haven't heard about the semi-truck driver shortage and the rail conductor shortage?
On the bright side, your not on permanent chip hold like a bunch of us. Ford kicked that can to late June.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.
So true. For that, I am thankful. Small victories. Right!On the bright side, your not on permanent chip hold like a bunch of us. Ford kicked that can to late June.
For sure. The shipping portion is full of horror stories also, but there is a light at the end of that tunnel.So true. For that, I am thankful. Small victories. Right!
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.On the bright side, your not on permanent chip hold like a bunch of us. Ford kicked that can to late June.
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 thereno chip hold, “shipped” April 8th, yet hasn’t left Michigan. Every delivery date is just replaced when the miss it with the next week…
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.Well if it makes you guys feel any better I’m on chip hold still and saw a guy with my exact truck build had received it even though it was built in May
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 businessYep.

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.
Sounds reasonablecheck this BS out
