Build week 4/29 -5/6

[SingleSpeed427]

My Platinum plus blend date is 5/6 chat says estimated delivery date is 5/11-5/17 I did not have the 63x code PAT removal on my build sheet so hopefully it has the PAT.. tracker still shows in production as of right now

Quick update.. Spoke with Ford (not chat). I'm waiting for a confirmation from two other parties, but I figured I'd share what I've got so far. Tracker currently "In Production, 05/06/2024" and my Blend was 5/3.

They stated my truck is built, no hold ups and is waiting for a shipper to pick up the Job (not my truck specifically but the shipping "job" for however many trucks). I confirmed that the truck has already been sent "offsite" for the bed liner, rear step, etc. to be installed and it is done, waiting to be shipped. I tried to push a little and I got the impression that there aren't enough convoy trucks available, but that was not stated and is just my impression.

I did ask if I could just do a quick contract and "ship" the truck myself since I live 20 miles from Dearborn Assembly. They chuckled.

If true, this type of 'hold' is better than a formal QC hold (IMHO)

Out of curiosity, what was your “last updated” date on the tracker?

05/06/2024.

BCM came online evening of 5/4 (Saturday) along with FordPass "Activate". Blend of 5/3.

Good information gathering! Curious does your tracker show ‘Built’ or ‘In Production’.

I think we are all in the same boat. Maybe they are pushing to to get all those trucks at Michigan Speedway shipped out (if they still have a stock pile there)

So.. confirmation (sort of) from the dealership. On their end it says "Produced". Nothing listed under ETA yet. That would make sense if it's true that no shipper has picked up the order yet.

Tracker hasn't changed since 5/6, but at this point I think the Tracker's milestones don't match exactly what is shown. Time and time again, we've seen that when a date appears under production that is actually when the truck rolled off of the line. It was not "built" yet because of accessories, quality hold, etc.

Based on the info I have now from two sources, plus my own findings (BCM, Ford Pass availabiity, etc.), I would expect the tracker to say "Built" now... but knowing that it was actually built on 5/3 because the BCM started reporting on 5/4 tells me that the tracker may lag behind a bit, or again the milestones don't match.

I spoke with Ford Marketing many times and was never given that much information about my truck except that it was on a hold. You had more luck than I did.

Here's my full build process. Still on QA Hold as of this morning. From what I can gather here, my truck went from Dearborn to the Flat Rock location and is sitting there. Ford tracker is still showing "in production" so it must not move to "built" until it is actually preparing for shipment.

How were you able to generate this information? This is great, would definitely like to check mine. Thank you

This info is all courtesy of Zach @Granger Ford . Not only does he have the best pricing in the country, he helps all of us impatient folks navigate the Ford production process!

Obviously if you didn't use Granger, this would have to come from your ordering dealer. (I assume?)

I live 20 minutes away from the Rouge plant. I ordered my 2024 F150 from Granger Ford in Iowa. It just makes me laugh at the logistics.

Would you please tell me where you were able to get all this information. I'd like to see if I could get this on my Lariat. Thank you

This is straight from your dealers tracking view.

I will have to check with them, but so far they have been telling me they have no additional updates.
