This is what I got back from my dealer yesterday, My truck is sitting in Dearborn waiting for the chips (confirmed info):

Sales Team,

As you’ve heard, certain vehicles at Dearborn Truck Plant and Oakville Assembly Plant are being built without certain components/chips and will be retrofitted and shipped to the dealership once they become available. The program is known as Vehicle on Wheels (VoW). These units have NOT been gate released and will NOT have an ETA in Vehicle Visibility until they are gate released. Attached is a VIN list of your units that are categorized as VoW as of 4/23/21. See below for important information about the VoW process.

Vehicle on Wheels Process
  • Availability of components/chips for retrofit is unknown at this time, therefore we are unable to provide an ETA.
  • Retail orders WILL be prioritized once components/chips become available. (Retail orders have a “*” at the end of the VIN on the dealer report).
    • We can NOT request units be expeditated until parts become available.
  • Units ordered stock but now have a customer waiting on them cannot be prioritized.
    • Once the unit is retrofitted and gate released, we can request to prioritize the unit for delivery.
  • Units will not show an ETA in Vehicle Visibility until they have been gate released.

Thanks for posting but it is a little misleading. It infers that parts have not been available....Translation, Parts have not been available for THESE vehicles because we are using those parts to run the assembly line.
I feel they could provide EDD if they wished but they have decided to hang this group of vehicles along with their customers out to dry.

I hear ya, the part that is explaining the difference between a retail order and a dealer order in the VoW section gives me a little hope I might see it sometime soon as mine is marked with the *. We will see :)

Just to be clear, a ‘retail’ order is all us here in the forum who have placed an order for a specific optioned build, whereas a ‘dealer’ order is when the dealership orders generically spec’d unit for speculative sale to persons unknown. Have I got this right?

I think so, my Window Sticker says "Special Order" and when a do a query my name is on it. It has not helped though as it has shown "Produced" since 3/16, without parts.
