Tracker ETA vs when you actually received the truck

[NoSnow]

Excluding the people that had retail orders that were held up, i’m curious how accurate the ETA is on the tracker. Thanks

Austin, TX

Built 1-25
Shipped on 1-31
ETA= 2-8 to 2-14
No call yet, but am anticipating one by Saturday (any of y'all recall that Mervin's commercial with the gal having her face against the glass--open-open-open? That's me, get here - get here-get here)

I have 2 retail orders (one is not correct but it is still being built).

First:
Prod date: 1/22
ETA: 2/25, then 2/20, then 2/25 and back to 2/20 currently
Status is STILL "in production" and not "built"

Second:
Prod date: 1/30
ETA: 3/3
Status "in production"

We'll see what happens...

Seems strange that both are still in production.

I AGREE. A few extra days I thought maybe it is the spray liner, but now on that first one it's taking 2 weeks to produce??

 

[Chris McN]

Sticker "Blend" date - 1/30
Tracker "Scheduled for Prod" date - 2/1
No "Built" or "Shipped" dates
ETA (Rochester, NY) - 3/12

Unchanged for the last several days.

No bedliner or other items that are rumored to cause delays.

Really hoping I'm not impacted by the chip shortage......

Thanks. You would think that you should get a built or shipped if there is a ETA. Seems to be a few like that

Blend: 1/28
Production date: 1/31 (does this mean scheduled or actually produced?)
ETA: 3/13

Still says In Production. Wondering if there just might be a delay? Also seems like 1-2 weeks earlier than ETA from the comments above

 

[mdmeints]

Build date: 1-24
Delivery Date: 2-10
On site: 2-5

I think there’s a problem with the tracker as it’s not updating the in production properly . That’s one of the reasons why I started this thread as I wanted to see if there was some consistency and it seems if you have an ETA the truck is built. At least that’s my conclusion.

I think the tracker is fine. I think these are just unusual times and unforeseen delays are happening.

The blend date on my window sticker is 01/22. The build date on the tracker is 01/24. I spoke with a Ford Zone Manager and the dates on the tracker are correct.

The same Zone Manager confirmed the location of my truck at a Maryland rail yard two days ago. He also confirmed the delivery date the tracker was showing as 02/12. Today, my delivery date was bumped by 9 days to 02/21. I can only guess an unforeseen delay has come up. Winter storms, short staff, somebody lost the key to the lock. Who know. Regardless of the reason, there’s a delay from the initial dates on the tracker, not due to the tracker being broken.

You are absolutely correct that these are unusual times (For so many reasons) and you could be correct about the tracker. I’m just speculating but it is very strange how it is updating on some vehicles. Maybe the tracker needs a new “chip” . Regardless of what is causing the delay, hopefully it gets rectified soon.

Not having any results in trying to track a new truck in processing. Here is the vin:
1FTFW1ED0MFA940085. I keep getting a note saying "can't retrieve this VIN"
