When I look at the tracker, it still says shipped but “shipped” doesn’t have the check mark next to it. Really hoping that it’s not still sitting at a ramp in motor city.

With my tracker, Order Confirmed, In Production, Built, all have a check mark. Shipped has a small white dot inside a larger white circle. Delivery has a large white dot. It also has TBD.
else where on the page, it has 02/07/22 as the delivery date.

Picked mine up from Granger on Saturday. All went well but I think Chip needs a vacation.

Same for me

4th Jan - in production
17th Jan - built

just says shipped today but not checked like the rest of you.

can I still hang out here in 12/20? Lol
I’ll gladly accept if I didn’t get a Christmas rush/hangover build truck but damn is it annoying to be told 12/20 and then have it be 1/17
ETA delivery says feb 9 but I won’t hold my breath.

might as well start a home brew for my soon to be friends and Granger motors!

It's kinda scary, but I how have the VIN of my ordered truck memorized, because I've used it so much checking the shipping status.

Congrats! I'll mark you as picked up tonight. Pics?

Hang out here - I'm thinking the 17th built date may be related to chip hold, offsite work, etc.

I ended up picking mine up on Saturday.

Dealer honored the promised 0%/72 and $1,000 rebate that was available over Labor Day weekend when I ordered without any issues, (he knew that was the only reason I was buying Ford rather than a Toyota.) The other option I could have chosen was $5,000 worth of rebates. The rate Ford offered for 72 months term on that was 3.99% though. I took the 0% over the $4,000 savings. Didn’t think it was worth my time to go find a credit union and shop rates to barely break even.

This is my first truck. So far the family and I love it. Coming from an older 4runner that I’ve owned for 15 years with over 250k miles so the wife and kids are pumped with the upgrade. Build quality seems great. (I was confused though. (On the xlt) Do the back seats lock in their down position or can you freely lift the back bench without releasing any latch? Also does the whole rear backrest not fold? I was able to fold the 33% portion to access the Jack and all that but didn’t see how to fold down the 66% back seat back rest.)?

Installed the Bak Revolver 4xs bed cover yesterday (bought from Realtruck.com and it shipped and was delivered in less than a week.) Colorado got some fresh snow last night and today so going to go play in the snow later today to determine if Goodyear Duratracs are needed asap or if I can run the stock tires dead first. (Had two sets of Duratracs on my 4runner and loved them). I’ll likely do a leaving kit once tires get upgraded but the rake isn’t as bad as I expected or just shows up worse in peoples pictures? Looking into tint for the front windows and clear bra some small areas for rock chip protection sooner than later. Other than that don’t think I have any huge plans in terms of mods at the moment. Tempted to upgrade to Katzkin leather eventually. Don’t love the sport cloth but it’s not as bad as I have been envisioning all this time. (Also the ford blue ovals appear just a little off on the all grey truck so maybe this summer I’ll black/grey out the badges and potentially remove the fx4 stickers for a cleaner look).

Overall very happy with the truck. Thanks to all the great members of this forum and build week. So much information provided over the last few months. Been good to have a community to go through the process with. Hoping for nothing but the best for all you and your deliveries and hope all these trucks live long healthy lives.

Congrats on getting the truck! For releasing the rear seat back, check out this thread:

nice, I’m like a child waiting for Christmas morning for mine still. The other side of the back folds down but it’s a pain to get to the latch so you have to get something like this to make it easier to access : https://builtrightind.com/products/builtright-industries-ford-f-series-rear-seat-release-kit-red

This may be worth looking into if you want to fold the back rest portion of the rear seat.

I want to say that there’s someone out there that makes a storage system that mounts on the back wall of the cab.

Anyone know what 'inactive' means ?

My guess is it hasn’t arrived at the Nashville ramp yet. Mine has the same status and is still on the train.

Know how long it sits at ramp? Getting worried it will not make my '2nd' delivery window of 18-27.

Waiting for arrival for further transport.
