(Dec 3) Report on 2021 F-150 Production Update and Constraints

[currybob]

From all indication OKTB has been achieved with a few option holds, as we have been getting all along. Should start seeing retail orders getting VINs that don't have the hold items, best I understand it anyway. Looks like KC is in OKTB status too for they have begun shipping a few gas models.

They did it, the sons of birches did it

Thanks for the update. I'd love to get excited but I'm on the No availability list. 3.55 w/3.5 eco boost Max Tow package.

Are you able to explain at all what regionally controlled commodity means? I ordered a 2.7L SuperCrew Lariat w/ work surface on Oct 31st. From what I can tell none of my truck options are shown with any limited/no availability except the work surface. Additionally, I have no options that seem to be restricted to either plant, which I hope gives my build a better chance of getting picked up quicker. I know I ordered later than many people on this forum, but without any commodity restrictions what are the chances my order gets picked up? My dealer said I had priority 11 on my order.

As much as I really hope OKTB has been achieved, I'm not getting my hopes again, only to be crushed again. At this point, I'll only believe it when my truck arrives.

The reason for my skepticism is because of what I read on that 'other' forum related to the stolen trucks reported earlier....
"Somebody is going to be disappointed. If they were at the Autoport lot, they were released to be shipped."

I asked;
"Does that mean Dearborn has achieved OKTB?
Or does "released to be shipped" mean they will ship once OKTB has been achieved?"

The response;
" No OKTB. They are released, but not able to be shipped yet."

I read that also, Pioneer.

The word on KC is good from other sources.

If you look in the upper right hand corner, it states "retail orders will began scheduling this week"

Every other report states "Retail orders will not be scheduled." just saying...

What is the “special retail only commit” for December 1st? 3.0 diesel, on a platinum trim, with 3.55 axle and max trailer tow. So I’m like screwed x4 LOL.

Cool.......No availability for my build, on four out of five commodities....axles....ratios....wheels and tires

I think KC is OKTB. October 14 retail order date - space white lariat 5.0.

Received a VIN and a build week of February 1, 2021 an hour ago.

No interior work surface. Yes to Max trailer tow with 3.73.

Way faster than I thought for a small market dealer. Population 50,000 in Montana.

Confused regarding the locking rear axle no availability. It says the 3.73 is not available with the hybrid + max tow package. However isn't it the same 3.73 locking rear axle regardless of max tow or not?

I agree, it is very confusing. It looks like if you don't have the max tow then it might be alright ( I think ). If you have the hybrid, it looks like it is a no go when you read the notes but I really don't know.

The fact you have a retail order since 14 Oct and got VIN and build week today, shows OKTB is here now.

Any thoughts on what the J2 intro (Jul/Aug) means? I have the bed extender on my build, but if that means waiting until Jul/Aug that may be a deal breaker for me.

Isn't that just an accessory item?
