Mine just says "BAT"

They probably just have a set number of characters for that line. I think I would have gone with “STD BATTERY”, or maybe “STANDARD BAT”.

My blend is 1/15

Just heard from my rep that I'm in production. Pulled the window sticker with a blend date of 01/12! Pretty stoked that this is really happening.

There is a little clarification needed with the term IN PRODUCTION.

When your window sticker was selected for production day, it was also sent to plant, that triggers the status narrative to say "In Production" as colored pink on the snapshot, the actual build/blend day should reflect on the lime green area under the label "In Production" on the time bar.

If everything is humming along nicely the date shown will match your blend date, if the production line is running slow or behind schedule, the date will be later than your blend date.

Once you see a date in the green area, you might also see service modules being to populate, leading to a tear tag.

If the truck has no QA issues and no missing parts/chips, it will be marked BUILT a few to 10 days later.

So, if I don't have a date under IN PRODUCTION, MY "In Production" status is not really moving along yet? According to my Window Sticker, my blend date is 1-15-23. Once a date appears under IN PRODUCTION, hopefully it should be the same or before the blend date on the sticker for my truck production to be humming along?

I'm just so amped up about my truck, I want to learn any and everything about this process.

Thanks.

You got it, understand the sub assemblies are being assembled and queued for final mating on the blend day, several days of preparation are in process but the unity moment is everything coming together and the LVB connected to the the electrical system bringing life to your truck, it's heart is beating when the service codes are loaded and archived to the master file.

Where is this graphic captured from? When I go to my Orders & Reservations page (https://www.ford.com/buy/manage.html?reservationId=XYZ), it looks quite different.

Ford Vehicle Order Tracking-Canada

You need your VIN and the WBDO order number not your reservation number to access your production data via the public tracker, look at your window sticker in the region shown in the example below pink highlights

Just filled out the order tracking form for my 2023 PRO SR in Carbonized Gray Metallic that's scheduled to go into production 1/9/2023

January 16th blend date. I’m starting to get excited!

 

[Lightning Rod]

My status hasn't changed in weeks.

 

[Lightning Rod]

I can't remember the thread where someone said that they were a software developer and he made and posted a link to a really cool and more comprehensive tracker for tracking our trucks through the build process. Does anyone know that link or the link to that thread?

Thanks.
