So.. I Finally have a indicator that it's been sent to the plant to be built and a full VIN # was available to the dealer.

This was Thursday this week.

Anyone know if by the time they ship it - how long does it take to build ? - will it still be in 2002 ?. Or would it end up in 2003 with a plant submittal date of Thursday ..

Ordered my 03 250-4X4 CC Moon roof V-10 on 11-1-02
Ford told me it was serialized to be produced during the weeek 1-6-03 to 1-13-03. Dealer tells me it was produced 12-11-02. I'm still driving my tacoma!

 

Though some of you might be interested that I am now on week "20" and still no build date.

 

It took my truck 3 weeks to build, ship, and arrive.

 

Theyll build it in 3 days, once they get started.
shipping I have no clue
I think my truck is on a trailer, in a parking lot of a casino somewhere in Nevada.

 

20 weeks?
what precious metal is it being plated with?
That would put me at around April 03.
I wouldnt wish it on anyone but I sure hope yours is a fluke of some sort.
You have incredible patience.
I commend you.

The last 2002 was built in July. The plant switched to 2003 production in mid July.

 

I know I've posted this before, but I can't find it.

After finding out the '02 cutoff was the end of May, I ordered my '03 F350 Supercab dually June 6/03. Serialized Sept 6. Built September 16. Took delivery October 26th. Almost 20 weeks as well!

prd - hang in there, it's well worth the wait!

I ordered 6.0 diesel/manual/crew {woops that's the same}. Seriously, other than color we ordered about the same truck {F250 but that don't matter}. I ordered the dark highland green which I have found to be darker that I first thought but not going to change it now !.

The hold on manual transmission builts stopped on the last week of November and even low priority builds {that I was shown in the computer} are "Clear" that ordered a manual so a 6-speed should not be a hold item at present.
