By the time I realized it might be a problem I was already scheduled and didn’t want to risk my place in line by trying to delete it. There’s another forum member without bed liner who lives near me who was scheduled the week before me with a blend 4 days before me and we shipped the same day...
Did you have a bed liner? We have the same in production date and I’m trying to figure out if my hold up is trim (only XLT and Pro have built so far) or bed liner.
It’s amazing how uninformed car salesman are. Ford has announced that the heated wheel will be restored in the future. I haven’t seen anything about the scales though.

I used the chat yesterday to check my status and the answers seemed to be canned. Initially they just told me it was in production and to check with my dealer and the spiel about how to check online. I then asked specifically if there was a chip hold and the way they answered is interesting...
Here is what the sales manger at my dealer sent me today:
“It is still showing in production on my end. It has moved to an in transit status on my locater. If you want to reach out on Wednesday they should have all updating done for this week by then. I should be able to have some tentative...
Thanks, It looks like it's adding about 3-4 days on average. Looking at my dealer's inventory they get F-150s delivered about 4 weeks after the blend date so if things go well I might have it right after Thanksgiving.
Same here. I received two emails when I placed my order. One said my salesman wanted to call and they were verifying my number. Six weeks later and still no call. I did call the guy who handles their online orders and he did not have any information I hadn’t already learned online.
I just bought one from Buydig. They have a better price. The listing shows the separate holster but when I got it it had the built in holster. It hasn’t been installed yet and I don’t have my truck but the build quality looks really good...
My sticker is up. Blend on 10/25. Heated steering was deleted and the AT tires are now no charge instead of $150 option. Not likely I would ever use the heated steering wheel so I’m not really upset about it.
10/24 build and got the same message. I’ve heard of others getting this mail and nothing changed. I’m assuming that some status changed associated with scheduling that isn’t visible to customers and the algorithm that sends emails doesn’t know the difference.
I got an email from Ford telling me order was updated but I don’t see any changes. Same options, price, and build date. Did anyone else get an email?
