Well, my question has been answered, it's not a whole lot, but the production date has been added to "in production" on the tracker

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.

Dearborn was shut down for the weeks of April 5th and 12th. It was restarted this past Monday, and its obviously producing something as even my truck that is on order is now showing progress. This status literately just changed in the past few hours. The blend/production date of my truck was April 11th, but with the two week shutdown, it should now fall on the 25th...and it looks like its probably rolling along the line as I type this. (I can hope and dream right?)

Now, by the story you are linking, Dearborn (among other sites) will shut down *AGAIN* during the weeks of May 3rd and 10th. So Dearborn looks like it will be producing trucks for a couple of weeks before it shuts down again.

What you are saying would mean it would be down for six straight weeks. They have never said it would be down for the weeks of the 19th or 26th.

Anyone from earlier in the week seen anything beyond "in production" or "produced"?

Mine was originally scheduled for 4/8 in Dearborn. Tracker says "in production 4/21". My thought is the truck is build and awaiting the spray in liner. Does anyone know if the trucks built after the April shutdowns are complete? Meaning its not going to have to wait for chips? Anyone have a guess on how long it will take to spray the liner? I see there are delays on that now, but is that just for to be scheduled trucks?

For what its worth I ordered this in December, so it took a while to even get a build date. Perhaps the spray in delay was factored in already, and it won't sit in a parking lot until June?

I'm still showing "In Production" 4/24 just like @Niterider shows in the post above yours.
My dealer just texted me a few minutes ago. My truck has been through production and is on its way to get the bedliner sprayed in.

Direct quote: "It should be here within 14 days!"

Start placing your bets. My birthday is May 14th....will it get delivered before then?

Got a text from my sales guy over the weekend about my delivery in 3 weeks. I tried to educate him on KC being shutdown for a month and that not being accounted for by Ford's idiotic tracking tools. Ford should spend 5 minutes and update their public and internal tracking tools when they completely shut down. When they come back to work that is.

Has anyone who was scheduled for a build in Kansas City last week received a new date? Mine was supposed to have been built on the 23rd. Window sticker is still showing a blend date of April 21st.

"Produced" doesn't mean it's done. It could be waiting for chips or inspections or Bedliner spray or things like that. Once status changes to "released" that means it's completely built and passed inspections and ready to be shipped. If it's been this long since it's been produced it's very possible that you're waiting for computer chips or some other QC issue to be resolved.
