🛠 3/14/22 Build Week Group

Thanks @Cayman-S Laura Ford seemed out of the loop at first but they have been great coming down to the wire. My salesman Mark B. said he would figure out the price protection and we are scheduled to close at $2000 below msrp. It is great to have a dealer come through when so many others have had to deal with shady dealers. Hopefully I'll be posting pics later in the week!

At 700 miles now! Took it to the tail of the dragon and a small off-road adventure. Hope to get some action pics at the end of the week

I also ordered from a relatively small dealership in Yuba City (total inventory of 26 new vehicles; zero broncos or bronco sports). Not sure their allocation but i'm guessing its small.

Delivery this week would be optimal since I have it off but what's another week or two waiting? LOL. I'll go back to browsing fog lights, rooftop tents, rear bumpers.....etc etc etc

I ordered from the same dealership and I am awaiting delivery too. I have been in production since 3/15.

Day 21 of “Built” status. ETA is 4/18-24, but that seems impossible now. How frustrating to be stuck in limbo not knowing when they will get around to shipping it or if it’s really even built at all.

Ford chat claims expected *shipping* date is April 24. Not sure where that info comes from.

Just asked the dealer what happens once our vehicles hit Richmond. They said they will receive an email once on a truck and enroute. Usually within 4 hours of actual delivery. If they get the email in the morning, the customer can you usually take delivery the same day. If in the afternoon, the next day.

Still stuck in production??? That sucks man. Hopefully the tracker is incorrect and you're actually built and sitting in Richmond with mine.

Thanks, I hope that you get yours soon. I called Ford and they said it is built but just waiting to be shipped. I hope that your experience with the dealership has been as good as mine has been.

This is actually my first time using this dealership. So far Nancy and Brent have been great communication-wise. I forwarded them both the price protection info. Hoping that goes smooth.

So I keep seeing posts about people complaining about being stuck in production, or built and just sitting at the yard. How many people here have lost theirs? Mine was supposed be here the 10th, and I have had zero update emails about a new eta. I'm not sure how everyone else is getting these updates, and I don't have time nor care to try and track trains all day. I only found out by going to the dealership and speaking with the sales manager that mine shows it left MO back in March and that's it. Poof! Nada! Zilch! It is 100% MIA mid transport. I'm a patient man, but one thing that's been really bugging me lately is watching people complain because they know where theirs is at and are complaining that it's not at the dealer yet. Everybody knows there's a serious issue with the supply chain, whether it be chips, driver, any other material that got boned thanks to the super flu known as covid.

Your day will come, constantly calling (as in everyday) doesn't help. These people know what's going on for the most part so why waste their time calling when these people are aware of shortage concerns. I'm sure there are others that have been in the same boat as me, but I don't believe it warrants constant calls, texts, or emails.

Disclaimer: I'm not just talking about this thread, I'm talking about multiple posts throughout. So many complain about first world problems.

perhaps it’s better for you to track trains that have no answers than to see people who are getting some answers and supporting each other.. Best of luck.

Hey man. We all feel your pain. Trust me. There’s over 350 pages just in this thread alone dedicated to everyone in this group celebrating the milestones (VIN assignment, scheduled, shipped, arrived) commiserating about the lows (got bumped, trackers aren’t working, stuck in production, stuck on a train, stuck at the rail yard) and everything in between. I think you’re newer to this group and I think we all consider ourselves kind of like a weird family. Shared suffering will do that. You are welcome to join in with us, but coming down on folks that are just as frustrated as you are with the process, but in a different part of the process isn’t going to fly. We’re here to help each other with info and stuff each of us has learned through this. Welcome to 3/14. Once a 314er, always a 314er.
