No confirmed information. The GPS is disabled, but it was still being moved around (odometer clocked another 2 miles, 72 total)
The truck is in Deep Sleep this morning, but it has done that before, so that is not a positive indication of shipment.
Still wait to see....

Hopefully they put it in deep sleep to put it on a train. Really pushing for you to get that thing moving! What’s crazy is you had your vin the day before I ordered. It’s been over a year

I now feel guilty for all the complaining I did. I hope she arrives in your driveway soon!

No reason to feel guilty complaining about a process that is extremely frustrating.

I started this journey back in May I think I ordered a day or two before @Blackout150. I just chose the wrong dealer and my 2022 order was canceled in September.

there are a lot of us that have been through the ringer with this. it is all Par for the course in today's post covid getting back to normal process.

It sucks more for some and less for others. I just call it life.

Separating the patient from the impatient.

I got lucky on my 2017. I did not have the valve issues or transmission issues that have plagued many. I need to have the sunroof opener fixed, but it is a low priority.
I have a whole house generator already, so do not need the PB for back-up power.

If the deal was not so good at the time, I would not have started this process as I am not due (per our vehicle schedule) until 2025.

All in all, the delay in this truck is not a big deal. Do not get me wrong, it sucks, but as noted by many, things could be worse. (Bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush?)

I am excited for those who are getting their trucks and rooting for those of us who are still waiting.

I'm a big baby that wanted my truck six weeks after I ordered it. That's the way it used to be and that's the way I want it to be. I wrote whiny a$$ and frustrated rants in the 248 pages of this thread. I have been elated and depressed (sometimes at the same time). The process(?) Ford has had us endure is a bag of pure stupidity, or as I put it "dumb as f@*%".

Today is not the day. I have but only 167 hours left to wait! But who is counting? haha
I will be taking delivery on 1/27/23. Just over 11 months after the order was placed.

No wonder they can’t deliver my truck! They can’t find it! Someone parked it in a petroleum tank!

LOL... I don't know if that's better or worse than buried in snow. I believe I see a sign blinking near your truck." Coming soon to a dealer near you"

I guess it will come with a full tank then?

Full tank, full truck, hope they can get the smell out of it

Anyone heard of these tonneau covers. Want one that works with my toolbox.

I'm kind of surprised you found something. It does not look that bad and the price is right. Keep searching though as there might be something better out there.

Getting off topic a little
***Do You Remember When***
I was browsing my old 08/01/2022 Build Week club and noticed how we always looked forward to Tuesdays. Either we got to stay with the current crew or we were off to find a new bunch to hang with. Such great times.....

Many of that gang (and others) are/were hanging out here, , under @Blackout150 's excellent leadership.

Eventually this time will end, but it is good to know that we can always come back and re-live these Glorious memories where we struggled to spend $70k+ on a new Tool (or Toy depending on your point of view)
