Wish it worked for Canadian orders. Anyone know what's happening with trucks that were supposed to be built in Kansas this week? Mine was scheduled for production today. Window sticker hasn't changed yet from the 04.21 blend date.

Your build date will likely be pushed 14 days

How many of you are Dearborn builds? I'm wondering if anyone has seen movement since their blend date. Mine is today, I have my window sticker and it has the circle highlighted saying in production (since the 21st) and I can't remember when to hope for the next update

My salesman told me when I ordered my truck that they get an update on their big board (their term) on Thursdays. So I usually email him on Thursday afternoon or Friday morning when I think my date has changed. He emails me back fairly quickly with any info he has. My build date changed to 5/3 so it will probably change again with Dearborn being shut down for two weeks. I don't know if I'd rather be waiting on a build or knowing it's built sitting on a dock waiting on semiconductors.

Where are you seeing that Dearborn got shut down for another two weeks? Last I saw it reopened this past week

Nope closed two more weeks in May. Announced this week. Were screwed.

Where exactly did you see this? I've been only able to come up with this, which mentions Kansas City is closed weeks of May 3rd and 10th.

I thought I saw it on here and someone else posted about it. I may have misunderstood on read it wrong I am an old fart. I'll try and find it.

Do you have a link or anything? I haven't seen anything about Dearborn in particular, I've seen KCAP being closed more in May, and I've seen Flat rock closed (not a F150 plant, but I know there was some confusion there in other threads)

I can't find it so I believe your are correct on it being open and only KC shutting down 5/3, 5/10 as of today.

Ah okay, well fingers crossed!

Dudes, I don't make this stuff up. Dearborn is currently shut down and will remain shut down. "These latest production cuts will take place at the Ford Dearborn Truck Plant, Ford Chicago Assembly Plant, Ford Flat Rock Assembly Plant, and Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant, with shutdowns at each scheduled to take place the weeks of May 3rd and 10th."

My PB KR had a rescheduled production date of 5/3, so I'm not happy, but truth is truth. It's looking more and more like a LOT of us are slipping toward 2022 production trucks. Maybe a silver lining.
