"In processing" to "In Production"

Anyone that followed their orders remember a status of "in processing" to "in production"?

I ordered my truck April 29th (VIN 1FT8W3AT3HEB17064). Checking periodically with COTUS, ETIS and window sticker look up, I have not been able to see any progress. Chat just told me that the truck is "in production" and I THINK they have always stated "in processing". I am hoping that I am seeing some light here, or am I dreaming that it was ever stated of "in processing"....

I ordered a F350 CC SRW LB 6.7 Platinum Ultimate. I received a call from the dealer several weeks ago stating the believe the Ultimate portion (something maybe to do with cameras) was holding up the truck. It was offered to remove the Ultimate portion and add back in options that may not be the hold up.

It boils down to - Does anyone remember a in processing vs. in production status? Chat told me still no ETA available.

There are a lot of us who still get "processing, no eta at this time". My order has not yet been released for production because it is a retail sale waiting for the "OK to sell" from FoMoCo. Chance are yours is the same and the dealer is stabbing at ghosts trying to keep you happy or the dealer has no further allotments for super duties available.

I quit asking the dealer. This info came from Ford chat. It sounds like I may have read correctly and there was an actual in processing to now in production.

Not that it seems to matter, mine was priority 20.

Now I guess we wait and see how long in production takes.......

Sorry I did not see the vin # or priority in your post. Yours would be a stock order and because the vin# is issued it is scheduled for production but as you state, it might have a hold for parts. At this point the order cannot be changed unless the dealer agrees to take the first ordered truck and you re=order the vehicle with the options you want, or without the options you really wanted. Your choice but waiting is not really all that bad, it just take forever.

What did Benjamin Franklin say? "The pain of waiting for your new truck is forgotten the moment you drive it home?"

Actually, I think he said, "The bitterness of low quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten." But it still applies.

No Sir, I will wait. When the dealer called I contemplated changing the order, while on the phone he said "nevermind, it will not let us change the order". Keep in mind that this was several weeks ago and while it still showed in processing.

Although I am in a 2016 Platinum (I know... Why the hurry, don't be ungrateful), I still am ready to get in the new one.

I ordered a 2017 GT350 from the same dealer well after the F350, it will be here a week from Monday. I understand the retooling with the new Super Duty and all that does with it. It was just amazing how quickly the GT350 moved along.

Ah, the pain of having to make do with a 2016 Platinum and a 2017 GT350 until the 2017 Super Duty shows up. The 350 sure is a nice rig. Dealer had a black one in the showroom. Said some middleman, rather than a customer, would buy the car for more than MSRP, ship it somewhere else, and still make a profit re-selling it.

Trust me, I am in no way whining/complaining. More just curious of the trucks status. I am certainly able to recognize that I am blessed to be able to do what I do.
