In Production Early?

[WNYEscapee]

I've not been on who has been tracking my production date one a daily basis, but have checked a couple times in a past few weeks just to see if it had possibly been pushed back or not. The schedule week had stayed the same with the date fluctuating anywhere from 4/10 to 4/15. I just checked out of curiosity this morning and found 4/14 but as I scrolled down the screen the bar is showed "In Production." Is this indication normal? I know people who hadn't had that with their until it was at the time they were scheduled for production and it was actually being built. Is it a possibility mine got bumped up for some reason or another, or possibly a glitch in the system. Anyone have this scenario with theirs?

This scenario has been happening to many people including myself. Could it be possible that more trucks can be built at the plant? We will see if the cars are built within a week after they went into production.

Your tracker goes to "In production" when your order is sent to the plant. That doesn't mean it's actually being produced, just that they are coordinating for the production of your vehicle. It's pretty standard for it to move to "in production" anywhere from a week to two weeks ahead of your scheduled week. Just be aware that although your tracker status changed, you COULD wait weeks before it's actually produced if there is an issue on the production line or it needs to be sent for secondary items like SIBL or anything like that or if they run out of something etc etc.

Not trying to be rude but this exact topic has been covered so many times here. Please start using the search function.

Sorry, I didn't think about searching the matter since everyone I work with who have had vehicles ordered had their go into production at the time they were actually scheduled to be built. For one guy who ordered two Mavericks, a '22 and '23, those were both on dates scheduled, and others with Broncos it was pretty much the same too.

Check the window sticker link at the bottom of the tracker. As i understand it, if your sticker is released, you are about a week out of your truck rolling down the line. My tracker updated to "in production on 3/29, and my sticker populated on 3/30. So if the theory holds up, my truck should be made around Wednesday next week, which is 1 week early from my planned date of 4/12

You are correct. In 02/2022, the In Production status showed when the car was being built. The person who is "not try to be rude" joined the forum in 04/2022. He/She may not aware of your previous experience.

I am in a similar situation; my XLT order was scheduled for 4/10. I looked at the Ford "https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking" site again this week an it's "In Production". (yay!!!)


Mine also has a Window Sticker. Does yours?

Reading the various posts in this thread, I'm not sure if the Window Sticker still means it's about to roll off the line?

Good luck to all you folks still waiting.

I'm sure I will be tracking it a more on a daily basis from now on. As it's my day off from work, had I been there and news was to be had, the sales manager would have sought me out to tell me. I'll likely know this come Monday if it's actually happening, I was just curious if this was something that often occurred or meant it was freakishly early for some reason.

The same for me. First email about production was for the week of April 10th. A few times I've checked back it's changed from April 14, to the 13th, lastly to the 15th of April as of last week. Yesterday evening it changed to in production.

Someone posted here that the factory shut down this week because of holidays. I think the cars were changed to In Production a week early because of this reason. I expect mine to be built next week as scheduled.

Good news on mine. It was scheduled for the "week of 4/14" and I seen that it changed to BUILT on 4/15 and received the official email stating such Sunday. This morning I received an email stated it was now shipping and our finance guy was able to confirm it was at the rail facility for future loading on a railcar. Time will tell now just how quickly it makes it from there to Buffalo, NY.
