Ok to sell date is around August 15. Retail orders will be scheduled after this date. Production for retail orders will probably start late August at the earliest if not in September. Personally I don't think they will arrive with early stock orders.
What I don't understand is if they can produce 88 trucks an hour time how come all of our trucks are not picked up and scheduled.

i am truly baffled, i talked to my dealer,talked with several at ford and everyone tells me they will not start production until late August! and i asked about everyone here posting thay they have vins,i was told unless someone posts a complete vin# they have no idea what numbers people are talking about...i ordered my truck the day the order banks opened, we ordered two trucks one was dealer stock and one for me,which.ever truck was built first will be mine...that was 4/22 i believe. ive even spoke to ford customer care, no vins yet and no production dates yet.. the super duty plant is closed the entire month of july..
I have also checked with my salesman SEVERAL times...and this guy is a straight shooter. We have ordered about 8 vehicles from him over the years and he told me straight up....we DO NOT have any info for your truck or your dad's truck yet. Just checked on Thursday. They are ordered Retail/Priority 10. I told him about all the VINs and build dates on here and he checked with the Order guy and General Manager and the Thursday report shows nada for our two trucks. Based on what others are saying on here....do I demand to see the Thursday printouts and would basically be calling BS on him...??...LOL. I'll be like that guy on SNL...."Mooove" so I can look at the PC. Just frustrating that a lot of guys on here have the info. I have gone to the build section as advised but I see no popup to get into a chat conversation to see if a Ford Rep can find any info. We ordered 2 Identical Platinums, F250 Crew Shortys side by side on the order bank on April 20....they are not Chassis Cabs. Any Ideas or suggestions?

As far as the Super Duty plant not operating until the end of July, according to the KTP forum there are people on the line right now. Not fully functional but working at getting things operational. As of Wednesday last there were still outside contractors working at various stations from the changeover. For instance a B line worker reported they only had their hands on 11 trucks all day (I believe there are 3 lines, A, B and C). But to that point, the plant is running. Full production may take a while and errors may occur in the mean time. I will wait for the OK to hopefully have mine come down the line fully processed with no need to be re-worked or re-torqued or re-painted or re anything. Just made right the first time.

OK...thanks RainDesert and Rasalas. Maybe that explains it a bit more. I was getting ready to go through the roof at night Tom Cruise style and lower myself down to the PC...LOL

I doubt the cars.com info is very accurate. It could simply be dealers listing vehicles for sale that are "in transit and coming soon" but in reality the vehicles have not even been produced.

I'd say on average about one month. It could be as few as two weeks, but unfortunately for some it could be two months. Some trucks seem to get stuck on "Ramp XX" and stay in limbo for awhile.

I think that although being retail the priority 10 may help alleviate this for some. At least I am hoping so. At lease a little reward for waiting not so patiently watching build dates and delivery dates and VIN figures everywhere else.
