I talked to chat yesterday and my truck was being built. They gave me an eta of 9/11.

 

Here's the latest from KTP:

For advanced planning purposes, below is a tentative schedule of production weekends for the remainder of the 3rd quarter. As we get closer to the dates in question, we will send out another bulletin confirming the upcoming production shifts.

The following mandatory overtime production shifts have been planned to meet the demand for our very popular products. All of the vehicles we will be building for the remainder of this quarter are sold units that our customers are waiting for.
Be advised that in addition to these extra shifts, we will continue to draw down our inventory during the week and on the weekends by performing the necessary quality checks to insure we are providing our customers with the level of quality that we are known for.

I wonder how many FTE members trucks will be built during the next couple of weeks. Interesting how they say the production is focused solely on sold units. Does that mean no dealer inventory will be built until the order bank is back under control? If so, the order bank must be insane right now.

 

I am priority code 21 and "Stock" - I am not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

 

Music to my ears. Come on Ford and sing loud and clear. And I do not know which is more insane. The order banks or the anticipation by those of us in troverman's "Psycho Group"!!

 

If your truck hasn't been built yet, I think its a bad thing if you have a stock order. That's really unfair if you ordered early. Hopefully you get taken care of EightySecond.

Of course, everyone else with retail orders has been waiting forever too, it seems.

 

The dealer says is was "pulled" yesterday and said they were starting it. Last update I had was a 8/15 build date.


Ordered 4/30

 

I am a new user but been watching and reading for months. I wanted to share my info as I have learned a lot from others posting. I ordered a 6.7 Ingot Silver Platinum with premium package, May 16th, on July 11th got a build date of Aug 22nd but still had no vin. I finally got a vin (32694) two weeks ago. When I looked up my vin in the sites I obtained from this forum (Thank you) my info only showed finally on Etis, not dates just the order. It did not show on Ford's site, or the window sticker site until this past Monday. My priority has always been 19. Being I had the sticker contacted my dealer and was told yesterday my truck went into production last week, the 9th, ahead of schedule, delivery date in two weeks now supposedly. Went to Ford chat yesterday on a whim, they had my truck listed as in production and gave a window date that started last week and ends September 10th. That's my story, I'm sticking to it, and is clear as mud to me. Thanks for all the info, I have owned a lot of trucks just not a ford in 20 years. Looking forward to the new one!

 

That's an interesting tale. I too have a Platinum Ultimate that was ordered 4/30 and don't have the sticker yet - VIN 16769. Wonder if it was the priority 19 vs 21 issue.

 

My dealer has always insisted that sold units, with customer names on the order took priority over dealer stock. Most of what I read was the complete opposite, dealer stock had priority. I'm still not sure what 19 is and more than surprised my actual build was ahead of my build date.

 

I just talked to chat. Got the exact same info, being built now and ETA Sept 11. Loaded lariat CC LB 6.7 VIN 21600

 

Awesome! Is your order retail or stock? What priority?

 

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on the build date. Remember its not true until we see pictures. (quotes from someone else). The interesting point is the priority 19 which should be a retail priority according to the documents accessed and copied to the forum. This would be the second early retail order I have seen since the release of retail did not come until last week. The priority Gods are with you!

 

I'll just keep loving on this old girl while I wait. :-)

 

Stock and retail priority at the plant are reversed for the first wave of vehicles. Partly to get trucks in front of the public and partly to shake out any problems before doing customer ordered and purchased trucks. Salesgirl and regional rep keep encouraging me that waiting for the line to work correctly is the right thing to do. I am sure looking back I will know this too and realize it is really a short trip. Looking forward it is a long, long journey, however.
