So, I placed an order in July for a 21 Lariat Sport. Build date of 9/1/21.
Blend date listed as 9/2/21, updated on 9/8/21. Current tracker shows "in production".

But, as the rumors swirl that we may not see our 21s in 21. I've pondered dropping the order and moving to a Lightning Reservation?
Anyone else do the same?

Are you OK waiting until 2023 or beyond? Ford is only supposed to make 15k Lightnings next year.

Good point. LOL

It was only a thought.
I'm very happy with my current truck atleast. Regardless of the current wait.

Your truck was probably already built on the 3rd or 7th.The update on the 8th is probably the circle added around the "shipped" radio button on the tracker.

Nothing is Shipped, and nothing has changed with the Production status of the vehicle. I don't see any circle around anything that you mention.

If you want to give me your VIN, I can check the truck in vehicle visibility and likely get you more updated info.

As of this morning, you truck went through the closures (door) area of the body line. So it's moving along, just a bit behind the original build to date.

Wow, Much appreciated. Gotta ask, how did you know that/find that out?
