Unless they messed up that code or something, there's no explanation for your extra-long delay. Does your build have anything special in it?
No sleeper seat and no Ford spray-in bed liner. I ordered it this way to not delay shipment. I think it's sitting on the ship stuck in the canal.

Which shouldn't make much of a difference, given that my Platinum has the exact same tech inside. Why would that build, which predates mine, stay on hold? Can't be a chip shortage thing since they had plenty for mine and several others, which came both before & afterwards, right?

If it's a QC issue which caused it to be on hold for so long, then it begs the question whether someone would want to take delivery of this vehicle in the first place, given the problems it's had from the factory.

We may never know why some of these trucks just sit forever, while others zip through. It's a genuine mystery.

I will let you all know if it ends up being a lemon. I've had that same discussion with my dealer. I've bought so many vehicles from him so I know he will make it right if there is a problem. He already has another one on order exactly like mine.

Hopefully it all turns out to be Ok in the end. Having a 2nd one on order already is a good idea and, who knows, it may get built and shipped before the 1st one.

I found out why our trucks are taking so long to arrive our dealerships when shipped by rail! (see attached)

LOL!!

Actually though, shipping, in my case at least, is what was the fastest part of it all. It literally flew. Build and post-build, however, is a much different story...

This is for my Lariat built in KC
What are the specs on your truck? I am curious how it got shipped out so quickly.

Mine got to my dealer after sitting in the local trainyard for 5 days getting dusty. Hope you get yours soon. You sure deserve it. Mine was exactly 6 months from order into my hands 9/24/20 to 3/24/21. When it arrived it looked like they drove it from Detroit to Buffalo in the slush, but the dealer cleaned it up and then I did a better job.

Took delivery today, and so far, very happy! Tiny bit of rust, but overall I've seen much worst on this forum.
