Does anyone know how to read this? Pulled from Blue Oval Forums. I don't see anything mentioned about F-150 today.

It means there are no restrictions or commodities for scheduling f150s.

Only scheduled on Thursday’s. There’s a good write up sticky on this forum about the process

ok, so hitting up the ford performance chat is useless Mon-Thur and should only check on Friday I guess for updates to getting a VIN/scheduled initially. Thanks for the info!

Ok, so this just indicates scheduling changes. They build 5 days a week, I assume as long as they have parts. They schedule the builds on Thursdays.

Here's a link on how the whole order scheduling process works.

I believe they build 24 hours a day (3 shifts) 7 days a week. During some of the recent shutdown KC completely shut down for 2 weeks and Dearborn truck plant cut down to 2 shifts for 2 weeks.

Woke up this morning all excited about maybe getting assigned a VIN today and then the clock reminds me that today is only Wednesday and need to wait another day.

I sent an email to my dealer about changing the priority code and received a text with my VIN and estimated build date of 9/20. No info on build date when I search the VIN. I’m excited that it’s going to be built in Dearborn, MI. I took a tour of that plant a few years ago.
