I ordered a 2011 F-150 ECO-BOOST in Early February and it still hasn't arrived!

I've read that there are some delays on getting the F-150 Eco-Boost trucks on time???

Does anyone know anything about this and what is causing the delays? My Truck has supposed to be in Atlanta for over 10 days now and the dealer can't get a straight answer from the FORD Zone Mgr.

WHAT'S UP FORD & WHERE IS MY TRUCK?

I know tuxedo black has also been back ordered. I don't know if that is the color you ordered though?

 

My truck arrived 9 weeks after the posted delivery date and the Japan Earth quake had nothing to do with it. The was built early Feb. Maybe the combination of the Japenese supplies and the shipping backlog. Has the VIN been generated? If so then it could be shipping. If not then it is supplies.

 

It depends when it was ordered. I ordered my tuxedo black ecoboost on March 17 and got it on April 20. Less than a week after I ordered mine, they announced the shortage of tuxedo black paint.

 

One dealer I spoke to said that some of the paints were mfr'd in Japan, so depending on current stock, you might have to wait awhile.

 

My VIN is still not created after 6 weeks. The local Ford dealer contacted the Regional Ford Rep and he said the delay is due to the navigation system being manufactured in Japan and the earthquake has shut down production. Bottom line Ford has no idea when the will build the truck.

 

Yup could be the nav shortage.

 

If the truck has already been built the delay is a shipping one. In the not too distant past...when gas and diesel were $4.50+ a gallon and vehicles weren't selling...rail yards shut down...the railroads scrapped the railcars that carried our vehicles...and...ground transportation companies went out of business. Have your selling dealer do a "Vehicle Visibility" on FMC Dealer. They will be able to track the truck and it's estimated time of arrival.

 

Sorry you are having to wait. I ordered my F150 SCREW Ecoboost XLT Red Candy on March 20. I just got it May 13. It came a week early. I was told there were problems getting this paint so I thought it would come late. It would be worth any wait. I absolutely love this truck. I hope you get yours soon. Did I mention, "I Love My Truck"?

 

Lets see some pics, the red candy is gorgeous! The race red is pretty damned sweet too!

 

Received mine just 6 weeks from order to delivery, and I do love the Candy Red.

Looks like we have to be logged into that forum for the pics to show up. Any chance you can post the pics here?

 

I orderd my 2011 FX2 Super Crew EB with Sterling Gray paint on April 5 and picked it up at the dealer this past Saturday, May 14. It arrived a week earlier than planned. Looks like mine came out of Kansas City. Don't know if that makes a difference. Mine does not have the navigation radio in it. Hope everyone that has a F150 on order receives their trucks soon. I know how hard it is to wait.

 

paint isn't the only thing held up. there are computer chips and parts for the nav that aren't available because of the tsunami.

 

I ordered a loaded Lariat SCrew long bed May 3rd, Ford for whatever reason didnt pull the orders from the dealer that week. Finally last week they pulled them, got a VIN for it yesterday but no build date yet.

I read somewhere that there was a way for people to look and check on the progress of their vehicle if you had a VIN, anyone know anything about that, is there a way for a customer to look themselves without having to go through the dealer ?
