"In Production" -- Blend Date?

[Bruno]

So, I ordered my truck on 9/23 and received an email from my dealer (from Ford) stating my truck would be built the week of 2/21. Then I received the attached window sticker on 2/6. As of today, Ford still shows it as "in production" and no modules have been populated as active. After reading this forum, I thought my "blend date" was 02/04/2022, the date it would go down the line. Am I reading this correctly? How long is a build normally "in production" before the tracker states "Built." Thanks!

Think of blend date as "Now in line to go down the line."

Others' time frames will differ, of course, but can say the blend date on my window sticker is 1/4/22 and only minutes ago checked and the freshly appearing build date (yay!) is 2/12/22.

Thanks for the quick reply and congrats on the 2/12 build date. Just curious, where did you see your updated build date?

My build was originally scheduled for the week of 12/20/21. When my window sticker first became available, it seem to indicate a "blend date" (or whatever) of 12/23/21, which was in that week.

After that, my build date changed to the week of 1/3/22 and the truck was actually built between 1/8/22 and 1/11/22 (except for the missing chip, which showed up this week).

But the date in that "SPECIAL ORDER" box never changed at all. The window sticker generation date (in the very bottom margin) did change (and continues to change) but not the date in the box.

My date at the bottom of my window sticker has stayed them same, still 02/06/2022. I'll keep watching. . . Any thoughts on when it will ship?

We have almost identical builds and ordered at almost the same time and got the same build date. I ordered on 9/27, Our options are identical but i got the XLT in iconic silver. I was scheduled for 2/21 as well and i got an email friday night saying my build was delayed until 2/28. So with there being some sort of movement early on yours youre doing good. Keep me updated and i will do the same. Good luck.

So, interesting news -- my modules just showed up, so that is something. Can't access the Ford tracking web site today.

Well there was some movement today. My "in production" tab now has today's date and my Modules are showing up as well. I'm guessing my truck went down the line today, ahead of schedule.

My production date moved to 2/12 from 2/7 after the tracker finally worked again. But i now have an estimated delivery date so that's awesome!

Well this is promising, mine has a window sticker date of 2/8/21 and it's listed as 'In Production' with no date.

Hopefully by the end of this week mine populates like yours has!

Side Note- I don't think the date on the window sticker nor the date on the bottom is the 'blend date'. The blend date is when the vehicle is on final assembly.

I think the date on the window sticker is just the invoice date, and the date on the bottom of th window sticker is just the last time the sticker was updated.

I also have a date of 2/4/22 at the bottom of my window sticker but no movement at all. I’m in the dark since I’ve never received any emails from Ford. Hopefully I see an update soon given what many of you are reporting. I ordered on 7/2.

What is the estimated delivery date? Going by rail I assume.

I agree, the blend date is pure speculation at this point.
