It makes sense. If this week is a holiday in Mexico and we knew they would be closed for a week in April, common sense would dictate the two are related.

It happens. I think the big thing will be next week. If I'm not scheduled for June, then there has to be a reason as mathematically, there is no reason why Ford can't clean out the books on EBs except for the odd known constrained item (Tremor).

I guess that means my truck that got built last week won't be catching the train this week then :cry:

It absolutely will shutdown. We're just starting it Holy Week here in Alamos, Sonora, Mexico and it has been packed with tourists since last Friday (March 31). It's like every household is having parties (even last night was loud... and that was a Monday night)...

Mexican economy is very strong at the moment and folks will definitely be looking to party this upcoming weekend. Folks from Hermosillo will flee en masse to places like San Carlos, Bahia Kino, Puerto Penasco, and Alamos.

Unlucky for me, We are returning to the USA on Friday and will pass the night in San Carlos with friends to break up the drive. Going to arrive a bit earlier to avoid the stream of cars that will be filing into San Carlos from Hermosillo... The highway leading into SC will be a parking lot from about 3pm on.

Strange they would schedule builds that week then. I guess even if mine does get produced early it doesn’t matter as it won’t get shipped anyway.

Just an FYI to you and everyone else.

I just got my Shipped email late yesterday on 4/4. My truck was built 3/24. The plant may be shut down this week but it seems they are still shipping out finished trucks.

Nice! I got my "Built" email on 4/1 and my tracking status was just updated to "shipped" this morning dated 4/4.

So, fingers crossed it's on the way soon!

My Lariat Tremor was originally scheduled for production week of 3/27.

I received an email about a month ago that said the production date was moved to the week of 3/30. Which is odd cause the 30th was a Thursday.

Last week, I receive an email saying it is in production as of 3/30.

Fast forward to today and I just got an email saying my build that was scheduled for production the week of 3/27 is now delayed and they would contact me again in 45 days.

Is the holiday shutdown a possible culprit for this?
