Crazy Shipping Timeframes

[Agashi25]

Mine was built on 2/3. Shows shipping of 12 days and delivery to my dealer on 3/26. 43 days to go 500 mi.. insane.

OMG. We’re sorta in the same boat. Insane

Just out of curiosity, you guys pick the spray in bedliner?

built 1/22 shipped 1/23 picked up 2/2 in Sacramento. ETA was 2/17

EXACTLY! Why does mine take 5 weeks to Sacramento?? Just sitting on "ramp 59" for 9 days now. Yours only took 11 days to arrive!

Same. It feels like when you order standard vs 2 day shipping. Sometimes you can track your package and they literally will just let it sit at the post office in your neighborhood until it hits the 5-7 day window, because that was the original quote.

Mine has an ETA 5 weeks from when it was built. I have no idea why it would take 5 weeks to CA when someone in Vegas or AZ (forget which one) had 3 weeks from Dearborn. Well, as of last Thursday it was sitting at ramp 59 in Dearborn. Today's update? It is sitting on ramp 59. It's like somehow they PLANNED AHEAD for this particular truck to sit and wait. If I could have picked "2 day shipping" I would have so it gets put on the train!

I live in California, my ship date from Kansas was 1-14, ETA 2-15, my dealer called me on 1-26 to tell me the truck was in . Keep your hopes up.

I *was* hopeful as I thought it would ship within a few days, just like seemingly EVERYONE else's after produced. Yet it has sat on a ramp 9 days now. So I'm starting to get worried and less hopeful. I need it on a train in the next few days or I'm not even going to make the ETA date.

Just for conversation purposes, suppose they are building the truck less a semiconductor chip, putting it aside, until it comes in then ship. Found an article that said “Some automakers, like GM and Ford, have confirmed plans to partially build products and store them until supplies for the vehicles become available”. Built but not really.

Remember in November when they had 7000 trucks in the parking lot and they were busing workers out there that definitely delayed shipment

That’s my speculation as well. The delay sure seems more than what it would take to get a bed liner. We will never know but that’s my guess.

Makes sense. Logic would dictate that if you have an ETA set then you're truck will probably get built on schedule. Or not. Who knows, I've convinced myself of about 30 different scenarios.

To add to the “chip” speculation, my guess is shipping will get back to normal next week. I believe next week Ford plans to go back to full shifts so they must have a bunch of chips coming in. Again I have no idea but just trying to match what make sense with what we know.
Regardless, if I ever order another truck I will do an aftermarket spray in liner.

My truck arrived two weeks early, the Ford tracker said still in transit only an hour before the dealership called to say it had just rolled in.

Edit: the Ford tracker still said “in transit” long after I parked t new truck in my driveway.

Kansas city, took about two weeks from build date.

Mine took 14 day's to get from Kansas City to Maryland. Pretty quick i thought. Let's hope everyone has the same luck.

Did your vin tracker adjust accordingly to the life dates that you had? Mine is stuck in "In Production "
