Called Ford Customer service for the hell of it. My shipping window is now 1/1 - 1/7. They did confirm they are experiencing transit delays….really? Haha The last email I received from Ford was on 11/25 two days after my truck was built.

Not sure I will seek out updates any longer as it really is meaningless. I’ll just wait to hear from Granger, whenever that is.

I picked up my 11/21 build week Lariat last week at Granger. Transaction went without a hitch and I wandered home through some pretty country and a taste of snowy, icy weather for the next day and a half. I got to enjoy the change in technology, ride quality and quietness that has vastly improved since my 2007 Dodge 3/4 ton. I am going to really like this truck!

Hey ! at least we arent in this alone! my build was just a few days before yours and I am in the same boat. I dont even bother calling my dealer or Ford anymore. this sucks !

I got the 6.5 bed too. It’s hard to find a 6.5 bed in the lot, I guess most people want 5.5 bed?

That's funny. I never think of a 6.5' bed as a long bed. A 5.5' bed seems like a trunk. I have a 8' regular cab OBS F250 and a Supercrew 8' 3/4 ton Dodge. Driving this seems like a short sports car compared to my Dodge.

I agree, a long long time ago I had an F-250HD with an 8 foot bed. back before trucks were luxury vehicles like now. I just dont tow anything anymore or need the bed length. adding even 6.5' bed makes around town use a little more of a challenge than I need. Plus I am still hopeful I can squeeze the 5.5' bed supercrew in my garage. however, theres no denying the longer wheelbase makes a smoother ride on the road

I'm in the same situation. Although, I've been receiving, "The shipment date of your vehicle has changed." emails from Ford since November.

I ordered from Granger in July. Received my build date in Oct. Received confirmation that it was built on 11/24. Since then, I've been told I'm scheduled for delivery on the weeks of 12/3, 12/18, and now, like you, this week (1/1).

Considering Granger told me it'd likely be spring when I ordered, I'm not too upset. I just think the Ford emails that say essentially, "Just kidding. Here's your new delivery date," are annoying (and, at this point, kind of funny).

I did finally get an email from Ford on 1/3 with an update. Just the typical shipment date change garbage.

I did connect with Granger this morning to check-in (only second time I've contacted them). My dates are now 1/9 - 1/15. :rolleyes:

Anyone’s truck update with a tracking number, transportation company, or even get delivered yet? Other than Granger people, seems like those are the tier 1 priority trucks.

I might get mine by summer if you haven’t got yours from Granger yet LOL! I’m on the Jan 7-13th eta. Ford chat swears it’ll be delivered to me by Jan 13th but can’t explain logistically how that’s possible. It’s a joy working with them!

I'm on my 6th ETA of Jan 9-15. Although it won't be at Granger by then, but I'm thrilled it updated to shipped today.
