I have a very similar order. I like the standard wheels on the 501A.
Antimatter Blue, no second color. Yours looks great.
when did you order it?

How is this possible the plant is closed and only opening on the 14 of June?i ordered my truck the 5 March a month before yours, I had a blend date of 5 of May eta of 31 of May that date changed to 1990-1-1, Ford needs to tell owners exactly where their trucks is and what parts are holding up things. Was your truck built in Kansas of Dearborn?

Nice truck.

How is the ride quality? 18's and no FX4 should make it pretty smooth. Make sure to set tire pressures to rec. psi, most come overinflated from factory.

Maybe Ford just doesn't care about us who are from Canada!!!! Mine is ordered in late Feb and now still saying in production. Saw so many people got their vehicle delivered which are ordered later than mine really driving me Mad.
No idea what the hell Ford is thinking treating me like shit.

Rides really good. My '19 XLT had 18's...but it was an FX4. My '20 has 20's on it and it's also an FX4. I actually wanted this new truck to have 18's and non FX4. For one thing...I'm not gonna be taking my new truck rock climbing...so no need for the heavier suspension. I am totally happy so far with the '21...although it only has 98 miles so far.

Plant doesn't appear to matter. I'm still waiting on a Dearborn ordered in January, built 3/29...
I think the current consensus is the build dates. Trucks built in May or after seems to be shipping out. Those built before May got sent to parking lots waiting on chip modules and seems likes Ford got overwhelmed with so many on hold and lost track of what they had partially built. Absolutely does NOT make it right by any means, but that seems to be what has happened. I still say that Ford should give anyone who is still waiting on their truck a BIG incentive.
