In Production After Build Pushed Back a Week...???

[dicchicora]

OK, so the tracker page was being crazy all week. This morning, I put in my information, and everything appeared, with a surprise. The tracker is now saying my Mav is "In Production," and I can now view my window sticker. This is all after I received an email stating my Mav was being pushed back a week to 10/18. I'm not complaining, just surprised and elated! If I am reading my window sticker properly from the other post, my blend date was 10/13, but the plant was shut down Monday and Tuesday. So, when would they have actually started the build? Also, my Mav is 1288/1693. Anyway, everyone, keep your spirits up! I've test driven one, and I'm excited for it. This little truck will be worth the wait!

I tried to make heads or tails of the window sticker with blend date and all that stuff, but it doesn't look anything like the example posted in the thread.

Look under part of the sticker that says "Special Order". There you will see your blend date. The 6 numbers at the end are it. Of course, that's if I'm reading everything right. Then, at the top of the sticker, above the fuel economy, you will see some numbers like xxxx/xxxx. This would be the number of Mavericks in production and what number yours is in the queue. Hope this helps.

There is a sticky thread about the tracker and the build process. In a nutshell, the tracker updates to 'in production' when parts start to be gathered and prep begins for the actual build. This happens a week in advance of your actual build date. So if it updated to 'In Production' today, that means your build date is next Friday (or Thursday if it happened yesterday).

The date says 10/13/2021. The numbers at the top are 1253/1693. Sorry, I cropped off the top.

I get what you're saying, but according to the sticky post, the "blend is the point where the chassis and body meet on the assembly line to go through final assembly. The work on the body and chassis has already begun a few shifts before this date." If my window sticker is correct, my blend date was 10/13/21. Wouldn't that mean that production on the Maverick actually begun before this? I'm just trying to make sense of it all.

Well, I can tell you from my own build the following details:

9/6 - blend date
9/13 - in production date
9/17 - final build date (add-ons required going to body company according to the actual history that Granger provided me - either skid plates or spray-in liner most likely).

Congrats! I'm in the same week with you now after getting pushed back also, but so far has not updated (I just checked after reading your post)....one can only hope. Was cautiously optimistic to be able to drive this to our Thanksgiving family gathering but starting to look slim....

OK, so maybe I am misconstruing what it means by blend. I'm taking the blend date to mean that the truck is together and going through final stages, but from your timeline, it looks like blend might mean, they just put the body and frame together with everything else still needed to be done. I'll keep watching my emails, and the tracker page to see how things progress.

I'm part of the pushed back to 10/18 club. Mine showed in production late Wed night. My window sticker shows the blend date of 10 13 21 and 1035/1116. Fingers crossed ours get built soon.

I had my 10/11 build week pushed back to 10/18. No winder sticker yet, no change to "in production" on the tracker. Fully loaded Lariat FX4. I guess I will have to wait and see what happens next week. No "you're delayed again" email yet thus far. Fingers crossed...

Blend date is when the factory gathers and directly allocates the components for assembly of your build.

Okay, so if what you say is correct, my hybrid was built on 10/6/21. That's the date under Special Order. I went to that link that pinged my modem and it came back, "modem found". I was originally scheduled for 10/4 and moved back to 10/11. Go figure.

 

[Jtracing919]

Has anyone who was scheduled for the week of Oct 18th been built? Mine showed 'in production ' on Oct 13 but nothing has changed on my tracker.

I'm in the same situation. Originally scheduled for the week of 10/11, and moved to 10/18. Also showed 'In Production' starting on the 13th. I checked the Ford Order Tracker and the tracker on this site earlier today at about 8:00, and they both had today's date under 'In Production'/'Production Date'. It doesn't show anything there right now.

I'm listed as 1266/1693 according to the window sticker.

It's probably not healthy to be as obsessed with following this as I am, but patience hasn't always been one of my strong points.
