FWIW Ford has already scheduled a few trucks in mid Sept. I know they will start to fill some before then, but still seeing a lot of unscheduled orders.....
Yup - same concerns. If they are going into September already (and some into Late Sept), that means August is full, or nearly full.

I wonder if that note we saw on the tow tech package not being available has anything to do with it. That is on the majority of trucks orders (all Lariat ER and Platinums, + any other truck that optioned it.)

Yours is a mystery for sure.

We ordered about the same time and mine is already being built.

Just waiting on modules to pop and tear tag #.

I don't plan on towing nor hauling so I got a base Lariat SR with no options....

Which means no Tow Tech package for you - if that is the hold up.

I don't tow, but I do haul (mostly lighter weight stuff) for my Robotics team. Wanted to go ER because this will be our family road trip / vacation vehicle and for the extra performance. Only other option was Max tow, just for the extra cooling (after seeing the out of spec video from the drive event - way better thermal recovery than our Mach-e!).

I'm disappointed too. No movement on my Wave 7 order or my wife's Mach-E order.

Sorry to hear, but if they wait for the rest of wave-7 to finish ordering by close of business 6/24, the factory can do a comprehensive assignment for all remaining orders to close out MY22 scheduling, hope you all see action next Thursday June 30th.

Thanks - 3pm and no schedule.

Guess I will see you all next month for some more disappointment.

Listening to Tim's program this evening, sounds like only ICE F150's are being scheduled, no hybrids and most likely no Lightnings will be scheduled this week. :cry:

I think the tail end of production in B/W 7/11 has finished for the main line, while revision work is continuing, I seen a lot of BUILT status updates this morning, many were for build week 5/30 and several SHIPPED status updates for 6/28.

I hope they continue with post production touch-ups while the production line is in maintenance.
