I haven't really taking the time to read the whole thread. I jump on when I wonder whats up so sorry if I'm a little out of the loop, but agree that it makes sense (was not aware they were parking customer order trucks but now the production to deliver lag makes sense). That said, my inventory guy is really on top of it and accessible to me.
I guess I'm the next canary in the tunnel because mine is scheduled week of 8/30 and wonder if that's gonna hold or I get pushed back.....
I also told him in a text a few minutes ago from Florida to Georgia it appeared a few interstate dealers had what looked like Superduty's on their lot.....but may have been driving too fast to see them well enough...but there were new ford trucks on their lots. I'll give you his reply when he gets back to me.
So when did they reschedule all SD’s? I figure that is what took place the three weeks they weren’t scheduling. And I thought they stopped building and parking starting with the 22’s… folks seem to be getting them pretty quick after production which indicates they haven’t been building them and parking them. This conversation seems to be a hodgepodge of the last few months, but doesn’t sound like what’s actually happening now.
Agreed, this does not jive with what we are seeing.
We have at least 37 trucks on the tracker scheduled for next week.
Last Thursday they scheduled trucks to 4 different weeks in September.

Well in the current situation we never really know, but what you explained is what did happen over the course of the last month, and yes, the 21’s we’re getting built and parked, but if you check out the spreadsheets you’ll see that the 22’s have been moving along now with very few vehicles getting held up after production, and it appears these may have aftermarket parts that are required. Sure, this is a small sample size, but it’s still a good representation of the bigger picture. Also, last Thursday Ford released scheduled build weeks to many people, but over 4 weeks, not 1, which appears that they have made a game change and are now in the process of applying said change. I have even seen a couple of folks build dates get moved up by as much as a month.
And yes, it also appears some new trucks are being delivered to dealers too, but I’d say these aren’t a ton and some are likely even 21’s. Also, it sounds like Ford is planning to move some unfinished 21’s to dealer lots. I think they learned from the 21 line that building and parking is the wrong way to go and starting with the 22’s they abandoned this model.
I ordered mine on July 19th had an original production week of September 20th . got an email last Friday saying it moved up to week of August 30th
only real option i added was the spray in bed liner.. probably could have gone aftermarket on that . I was surprised to see it moved up in production schedule
Just spoke with dealer and they have received confirmation that the truck will be delivered from the rail yard in Portland to them tomorrow. The bad news is that depending on how late in the day they receive it, it might be too late for PDI and service is closed on the weekend. I can't make it up next weekend, which means I would need to pick it up until early next week and figuring out how to take a couple days off work for the drive (~2100 miles round trip). They are seeing what can be done. Assuming the truck shows up late in the day, I offered to pay whatever additional fee necessary to keep a service tech late tomorrow or to come in Saturday to finish the PDI if given the option. Not holding my breath, but if they were able to accommodate it would be another positive to add to the already great experience they've since the first day I spoke with them back in April to place the order.
Its funny, this time a month ago, I was HOPING that it MIGHT be ready in Sept/Oct. And now here I am in mid-August stressing about how to pick up my truck way before I ever expected it. lol
Congratulations! I think WilliamGT was in Canada, but not positive. On the delivered tab it's usually the ones with the blank State, but I think SLWRDE may have been neither Canada or US. Looked like it was being exported, but I'm not sure where.
Congrats! Hopefully there isn't a shortage of the maple syrup air fresheners that are required to be installed during PDI on the Canadian trucks? J/K - great looking truck!
Red/Tan KR. Ordered 8/16, Went to work out trade numbers with the dealer today or an out right sale and he showed me on his portal that I have a vin and my truck is scheduled for 9/20.
How do I get on this sheet?

You can mark mine as delivered. Was delivered last Friday night after hours and I picked it up yesterday. 1st SD and so far I love it. Just have to get used to the extra wide of the wheels from my f150.

Awesome. I'm not individually marking them as received like I did in the Purgatory thread, it's just too much work.
It will be interesting to see when Ford updates yours as delivered though.
