How long do factory builds take?

Ford chat tells nothing more than what you already know.

Not true. My tracker is behind and Ford Chat has already given me an eta for delivery.

That ETA is useless if the truck aint moving, though.

Just relaying my experience. Nothing more than what I already knew.

True. Ditto for me as well with Ford Chat.

I am with you all, build scheduled 11/27. Based on a post checked the tracker and it said production 11/21 and my sticker said SO by convoy. Checked the tracker the next week and now production date is 11/27 updated 11/28. Sticker has now changed for FL by Rail. Received the so sorry mail yesterday 12/07 but there is no additional info. Chat said to call marketing (800) 334-4375 they know no more than what I can see in the tracker but said it’s in the body shop with a scheduled delivery between 12/24 and 12/27. I do not see it making that delivery window.

Found my truck today on the Ford App. Shows sitting at Hermosillo Son Mexico and has 14 miles on it.
Great!

Gibby, what Ford app is that? I'd like to see what mine says.

Thanks,

I have been watching mine on the tracker when it showed in production since 11/21, the last update was 11/28. Called Ford and no one knows more than the tracker.
Someone on this blog said this would not work but tried it. I have 2 other Fords so I added to the Ford Pass on my phone and asked to connect. Took a little time but show where it is, miles and how much gas in the tank. Can also map it and shows in a building somewhere in Mexico.
So I do not know any more but can see it, interesting.

No one at ford has any idea. I have 2 other Fords so I added to the Ford Pass on my phone and asked to connect. Took a little time but show where it is, miles and how much gas in the tank. Can also map it and shows in a building.
No guarantee but worked for me, interesting.

Well, that's pretty cool that it worked for you. I had tried connecting to my truck thru Ford Pass, but couldn't get it to connect.

That'll sure make monitoring it's journey alot easier for you.

Jeff it may work now but if they do a master reset it may disappear.

All you need to enter is your VIN and pass the Capcha test. If you see a bunch of numbers, those are your module values. If you just see some headings and a "G", it isn't done. Here is the beginning of my report:

Any way to decode " when" it went live? Or a final test good date or signal? Is it the last step prior finish or ship?

Also my email said "almost done" which I had not seen before. Body return was 11/28.

Seeing the modules populate doesn't really tell you when they'll ship it. The tracker online hasn't updated for me since 12/1/23 as it shows in production 11/30/23. Once the modules populated on 12/1/23, I checked in with Ford Chat, who told me they had an ETA, but it wasn't reasonable last year and likely isn't this year (1/3/24-1/9/24).

About the only thing you can count on by seeing the modules populate is that the VIN you were assigned really did get made and is a complete, functioning truck now. (Not going to be cancelled like my first VIN was in 2022). When you'll actually get it is a completely different story.

Mine took exactly 4 months order to delivery. Just picked it us few days ago. Had 22 miles on it.
