8/2 Build Week

[Dresdie]

My next theory as to why a subset of trucks were built: Ford had railcar commitments they needed to fulfill so the trucks that would fill those cars got built.

Possible. Mine, I believe, is convoy the whole route. Maybe the same exists for convoy contractor commitments. (Still in "awaiting shipment" status here as of today). Hard to discern.

I would gladly make the 2hr trip north to alleviate Ford's shipping pressure.

Another of my theories shot to hell

Everything coming my way is via convoy. Needed to give myself a reason that made sense.

Haha. The mind takes us in all directions when waiting so eagerly for so long.

Anyone mind running mine just to see if they get a different status that I do? Based on the post by Dresdie it could just be my network. I'm still seeing "In Production"

Littlefield, I checked again today on various networks. Still in production on your build as of a moment ago. Pullin for ya!

Thanks brother. I check every morning, afternoon and night. I drove around my local Ford dealer last night to quench my thirst. A few XLT's and Lariats but they have dealer markup on them. My kids enjoyed playing with the tailgates though.

I’ve still got an ETA end date of 09/14…ughhh

Right there with you, though it's my dogs in the truck rather than kids. I go by a dealer about twice a week, usually after-hours so I won't get hassled by sales guys, and look at whatever new trucks are there. Then I get back in the old truck, and my brain always says the same thing: "Someday... but not today!"

Just an FYI, my sticker says CONVOY but my dealer confirmed it is sitting on ramp 58 waiting on a train. I'm in Louisiana so stands to reason it would travel by train.

Mine says convoy as well but is on Ramp 58 waiting on the train according to my dealer. It’s coming to VA.

I just read a post from the f150forum indicating some things:

1. It appears some trucks are trucked to nearby rail depots - maybe that's the reason some are going rail but indicating convoy
2. Ford does direct convoy to dealerships within a ~300mi radius of the plant. If you're outside of 300mi from your production plant, it's likely going via rail

Not speaking from any bit of authority here.

For those with post-production add-ons (ex. tonneau, spray-in, work surface, moonroof(?)), I wonder if those were installed during microchip hold purgatory; or if they had to wait for the microchip addition first.

The work surface and moonroof are post production add-ons?

 

[Dresdie]

Don't know. Probably not. Wasn't sure. I may be confusing parts that had long leads earlier this year with those installed after production.

Now that my truck has officially shipped, I started ordering accessories. I will order my bakflip tomorrow.

 

[Dresdie]

Nice bag. Does it fit under the seat nicely? Hadn't considered that before.
