05/16 Build Week

4 hours!??

I picked mine up yesterday at Granger and paperwork literally was less than 5 minutes. (And I think a better deal than Z-plan)

How's the truck so far Bannerman? I want to hear about this Tremor! That's what I wanted to buy, but did a Lariat Powerboost instead to meet my work's fuel economy requirements... well that's if my Powerboost ever shows up lol

One dumb question.. this is like my 6th new ford vehicle, and the owner's manual has always come in a little case or pouch. This time it's just in shrink-wrapped plastic. Did my dealer hold out on me or has this ween a cost-cutting measure across the board or something?

I’m not even sure if I got an owners manual, I think it’s just downloaded to the infotainment system

Happy Sunday all! Who is still left from this build week that hasn’t received their truck yet? I’m hoping for a shipping notification out of Dearborn this week but not very confident. Build date May 22. Waiting to hear back from Ford…Sending positive vibes out to anyone else that is still waiting!

I'm still waiting for my 2022 F150 XLT Crew cab 5.0 6.5' too. My blend date is May 22 too build date was May 31st. I contacted Ford earlier this week they said it is estimated to ship the week of Aug 8th. I am in Ontario too only 15 miles from the factory.

Congrats!! That's awesome! Just checked and I'm still in "awaiting shipment" on Order Track. Ford tracker still shows "built". Hopefully I join you soon.

My truck arrived at the dealership today while I was at work.

Called Ford executive offices today, and my truck is still "awaiting shipment." She said that she "sent a request out to the appropriate department and asked them to prioritize shipping the truck out." Now the ETA is apparently the end of August. This is the latest of many ETA's Ford has given me. Truck was built May 22... coming up on 3 months of it sitting in Dearborn. Anyone else in a similar situation?

I think most of us that were stuck in that hell got our trucks now. Hang in there it will be worth the wait. I say that as I am without mine until tomorrow night since they are doing the spray in bedliner today and tomorrow undercoat/ceramic coating.

Morning everyone, thought I'd put an update out and see if anyone else is still waiting for their truck as well?
My lariat powerboost is still sitting in Dearborn (Ordered January 27th 2022, built May 22/2022). Spoke with the dealership this week and vented some frustrations regarding the lack of communication. Speaking with the owner of the dealer and sales manager now, not my sales rep. They seem to sympathize and will hopefully be more active regarding getting the truck shipped. What they are not able to confirm is whether the truck is 100% ready to ship, or is awaiting chips. From their end it sounds like dealing with Ford to get answers is difficult and they are also frustrated. I know the truck will be worth the wait and understand the current global supply chain constraints, however the communication part is what I would like to see improved. Also a bit nervous about my trade value since I've put 20,000 kilometres on it since January. Is anyone else from around this build week still waiting? Any similar experiences with their trade? Thanks in advance for reading/listening.
