I just got bumped as well...

Maybe its the snow storm that scared them. Lets hope for a bump back to an earlier date.

Mine is still scheduled to arrive last week Monday. I'm holding out hope that will still happen!


Edit: Ah beans. Me too... I'm gonna go be bummed for a while and see if I have any rich uncles who can give me $7500.

So you got pushed back as well? same time frame?

Exact same. I'm betting we're all on the same rail car. I'll get with Ford today and see if anything can be done and when it would be too late to do so. I've heard of people being able to ship their vehicles to a different dealer and having them do the paperwork and prep (for a fee of course). I'll start looking into that.

Estimated Delivery 12/4/2022 - 12/10/2022

still is not on a rail car yet so I doubt it will make it in the target date

New ETA

Oh, wow... that's a huge difference. Was this a chip hold or what? My date range changed yesterday, too, but it only bumped by a few days to Nov. 21-27.

Got my picture yesterday. Looks amazing but I am still disappointed I did not pick one of the blues. They look so sharp.

I'm also in the same rail car for delivery in Portland,, OR, 11/29 - 12/5. Delivery window has not changed. Last I knew, Ford reported it was still in Blue Island, IL. I thought the railcar had stopped.
Good to know it is still headed west and in Colorado. Also received the factory pic today!

2023 Pro with tech package and rear step.

I’m on the same rail car as you, @timwren and @alexose, final destination is Eugene. ETA 11/30-12/3. I get the same info when I call CS, Blue Island, IL is the last update. Great to hear it’s much closer than that

I got nothing from Ford chat. She mentioned possibly the storm. Seeing that we 3 were in limbo for about 10 days prior to the storm it appears there was some other factor(s) at play.

Looks like it is a shortage of drivers to our area. My Ford guy said basically that much and the dealer agreed. We're SOL without a miracle.

So truck the whole way?

No, rail to somewhere in Ohio I think.

This chip shortage is killing me. I see a Lariat ER from the 11/7 week was built. My blend date was 10/28 and trucks 10/26 & before are built. It's crushing, the FOMO.

Understand the feeling. Knowing my truck is sitting in the cold (with an unknown SOC...) while people are have theirs at the dealer really sucks. At least we don't have it as bad as some of the August build guys, I find some comfort in that.

Hopefully you got the “I think I can, I think I can” train and it makes it just fine.
