Production moved up by a week. - Final Preparation

[Rockers99]

Has anyone had their production moved up by a week recently?
I can't see or find the window sticker on this page yet even though it says it lower on the page.
I have tried other posted links, though nothing returns for the vin number.
I will try and posts further updates when things change.

I saw mine showed 'In Production' a couple of days ago, also about a week early. This morning I saw that the window sticker link had disappeared from the page altogether.

They sometimes go "in production" early, but it doesn't necessarily mean your truck is being built. Sometimes it just means your order was sent to the plant and they'll start building it when your build week comes up.

That’s interesting. The last update I got from FMC on 12-12-2023 said my production date has been changed from 1-08-2024 to 1-15-2024.

I just went to the track order link on that email and, like yours, it says the vehicle is in production. Also no link provided in that email to the window sticker.

the track order link said it was last updated today, so maybe ford will be sending out updates later today or tomorrow.

I'm in the same boat as you. My original scheduled week was Jan. 8 but got pushed to next week, Jan. 15. I was notified of this on Dec. 15, 2023. I haven't had an update since and I just checked less than an hour ago and it shows that the order is confirmed and nothing more. There's also no link to my window sticker which I'm assuming is because they're generating it as I speak and will return once it's ready. Since we have the same scheduled week, I should receive an updated email later today or tomorrow like you said. Keeping my fingers crossed.

My build was scheduled week of 1/15. I just so happened to check the tracker yesterday and noticed that it updated to “In Production,” so I emailed my sales rep and asked when they expect it to show up on their lot and a few other questions.

He sent me my window sticker (which I’ve never been able to get before) and my purchase agreement so I can get my ducks in a row before delivery. He said it’s taking about 3-4 weeks after the trucks are built to arrive here in IL, but they’ll get a more detailed estimate once it’s actually built and released for shipment. If you haven’t already, seems like a good time to reach out to your sales rep!

I just checked on my '24 XL AWD and it moved to 'In production' from a 1/15 scheduled date. Thanks for the heads up!

I was able to get to my window sticker this evening via another link - it does say convoy - will this chang? presume this means it’s not going by rail.
On another note the “modules” are not populated yet.

I tried looking up what the codes all mean on the sticker but it looks to be different from the examples supplied in other posts. If anyone has anything I should look up on the windows sticker at let me know - Thanks.

Mine is showing convoy as well. I don’t think it would change at this point, but who knows? Fingers crossed, but I think Ford is actually trying to devote the resources it needed to get these built and shipped out faster than the past model years. I imagine it’s much easier to add more convoys/trucks to get these shipped out than it is to increase rail.

Same scheduled date, updated on 1/10 to "in production". Waiting to hear back from my dealership. Thanks for sharing some good news!

Just to give an update.. I saw a lot of movement with the sticker information (cert ramp bump etc) the week before production, then it all went quite. It was stuck on saying with rail RU2G and ramp W. However today I just saw my modules get loaded. One step closer. So that is probably the last sign I doubt I will figure out csx railways shipping though it would be nice - but it is what it is.
The next step is to get Ford notifications, seeing when it gets shipped and arrives at dealer, If I find out any of this or further information I will post here. If anyone has anything information to assist let me know. I presume we are talking near as I can tell a month wait now to the dealer.

Another quick (non)update with a little venting on the Ford tracker…
Still shows as in production since 1/18 and now the ford tracking delivery details are now missing.
Window sticker does not look to have changed either, at this stage I don’t expect it to change.
The wait is continuing. Probably it is the dang mud flaps I decided to leave on.

Got the dreaded notification on delay txt and email.

While production of your vehicle was projected to begin the week of January 15, 2024, supply chain challenges continue to cause delays and uncertainty.

I got the same email last night. After digging around in other threads, it sounds like people were getting these message in the past as well, and ended up getting their truck despite the message. Not sure if it's a glitch or what. As far as I can tell, my truck is pretty much built (modules popped a few days ago).

I reached out to Ford Chat today just to get a check from them, and their response was "I show your order status as In Production/ Produced. Projected ETA to dealer is currently Feb-18-2024. That date is subject to change."

So I'm just going to take that ford email with a big grain of salt, as I haven't found much evidence from other people this close to delivery that that email actually indicated a real impact.
