I know same here, trying to balance reasonable curiosity/interest with being a PITA…although at these price points it feels like the customer care should get just a little better…but I’m excited nonethelessKeep Trying to get in touch with ur dealer……..My salesperson never called me for any info.
Its really hit and miss some do many do notAlright like so many I have ordered (8/28/21) and got an acceptance letter but not heard anything else. The dealer had said it should take a about a week to get a vin and a build date but I see here many people who don't have vin and build dates yet. I don't know if that is just because people are not updating their info or if the dealer was full of it when he said to expect to hear from Ford in a week. Ordered Platinum in Smoked quartz, 701 A with Carmelo interior, 7.2 kwh, and moonroof.
I know that feeling. Nobody can tell me anything but the Ford website is still showing a 9/14 delivery. The old "the check is in the mail" scenario.The dealer gave me a projected delivery date of Oct 21. As a reminder, I ordered on June 16 and got a VIN on Aug 8. Well, we'll see how this plays out!
U, from states. N you guys have a access to track. But We( Canada) don’t…The dealer gave me a projected delivery date of Oct 21. As a reminder, I ordered on June 16 and got a VIN on Aug 8. Well, we'll see how this plays out!
I ordered a Powerboost Limited on 8/31 and added the max reclining seats and the work center. A family member works at the dealership so I got mine for $73k which I’m very happy with but after reading all these post about long waits I did the same as you. I‘ve searched high and low for one like I want but every time I find one it’s $10k more than what I’m paying. Not gonna do that… So I guess we wait…I ordered a F-150 4x4 Platinum Super Crew Power Boost 5.5" in Smoked Quartz and Carmelo Leather on June 18th, 2021.

The only update I've received from my dealer in Beavercreek, Ohio is that they called in late July to say that if I added Adaptive Steering for around $900 it would fast track my order and get scheduled within a week. I thought about it, called back a few days later, added it, and then waited. Nothing. It didn't help. Maybe I waited too long to add it. They called on a Tuesday and I confirmed on that Friday. Anyone else get this call and add it and have it help?
I ended up calling a few weeks later asking if I could remove the Adaptive Steering since it it didn't help fast track it and they said I could keep the feature and it would be complimentary.
I check in with my dealer every few weeks since late June, absolutely nothing. No updates from Ford to the dealer at all.
I would have given up on it except I got my order "at invoice". I've shopped around on Ford.com looking for available trucks that are in stock and all of them are either already sold or they're asking $1000 to $6000 above MSRP, and it's a compromise on what I want. It's tough to swallow that when I paid invoice price.
For comparison, I ordered a Lariat (502A High, Hybrid, Carbonized Gray) with pretty much all options on 5/6. Not sure when the VIN was actually issued, but on 7/28, the build week was "the last week of September" per the dealer. On 9/3, the build week had been moved to Oct 11.It took me about a month to get my VIN after my 5-13-21 order. Now just waiting for it to be built!
From what i've seen over the last 6 weeks it appears to be pretty much a crap shootI wonder if mine being a Limited will hurt or help me. Or does it even matter?
