I checked my VIN every 1 or 2 days. It is showing good and the production day should be 1/22. When I checked it today, I got an error " Can't Retrieve This VIN " I am using a link to check it and also confirmed the VIN is correct. Anyone has seen this before?

I’m still waiting...Lariat 501a, 5.0l, worksurface, 40/20/40, moonroof, Max tow, 6.5” bed.

Ordered 9/1
VIN came in on 12/4

Dealer sent me a note today. “Still no eta but its being built.” Nothing has changed on the tracking site. :(

I’d be shocked if I had this thing before March. Ugh.

My truck was built on 1/14. It has been "in transit" since with an estimated delivery of 4 February. When I check palsapp.com with my VIN number it brings up an associated freight bill # and shows the origin is Dearborn Truck Plant, however on destination it says "null" and status is "pending". Do you think this means they haven't shipped it yet or perhaps isn't being transported by that company anymore? My window sticker does say convoy so maybe they are moving it by car carrier the entire way. This seems unlikely however since I am in NC, quite a ways away.

I wouldn't put too much faith in the palsapp.com site.
I received my truck exactly a week ago and palsapp still shows null & pending.

So my window sticker has build date of 1/22 but the Ford tracker site and this one still haven’t updated with build date info. Is that normal?

Thank you that is really helpful info! I'll keep checking Ford's official tracking page then and hope for my truck around its estimated 4 Feb arrival date.

How do you get to the Ford tracking page for the 2021 F150?

How soon do these trucks ship after they’re built? My truck was built on the 12th and still showing as in production in the Ford tracker.

Well if you ask @currybob he might tell you 4-6 weeks lol. However it should be within a week or 2 (according to my dealer) at the latest during normal manufacturing. Because of COVID that has messed things up a bit. Mine is getting built and both my salesman and his boss have said they had 2-2021 F-150's get produced and arrived at the dealer in 22 and 26 days (after production) respectively. As far as the tracker goes, I don't think it gets updated as quick as it should. Yours might even be on its way already, who knows!

Lots of factors plays into this, so it is a wide range.

If by truck, usually not too long, as long as haulers are available to meet the number of trucks.

By rail, the rail cars have to be loaded and all the cars filled up before they even start to move. This can be several days to close to a week depending on many things.

They are in catch up mood now, so extra shifts, so you think that would be quicker. But if they fall behind loading because of the sheer volume, then that can be a different story.

So, as you can see lots of variables.
