Still in production with no update since 9/18. Sold my 5.0 Lariat to Carvana and they’re picking it up Saturday. We are going on vacation through 11/25. If I still haven’t got any news about my truck when I get back I am going to buy one from dealer stock somewhere in the SE. This is absurd.

I’m with you, my first order is in the same spot with no updates. Luckily my second order that I placed two months after the first came in last week, picking it up next week, but I’d have preferred my first one. Just wild to have a (what seems to be) almost complete truck built for nearly two months without any other progress.

Thanks. Getting close to buying one from a dealer about 100 miles away. Don't really want to do that but running out of time and patience with ordering process.
Additionally my window sticker is no longer available on Ford's website? I screenshot it over a month ago. Weird
The link on the production date tracker routinely die after a period of time, nothing new.

Yup, I've given up on my 8/28 build order, also still 'in production'. I had the dealer order the couple of accessories I wanted (was mainly concerned with the tanneau cover) and they're going to install it on the other truck this week. I'll be out the power running boards I wanted, but they were nice enough to knock $500 off the accessories I did get. I pick it all up this Saturday.

Yeah it’s finally here; ford might have lost this sale to time and other larger more important purchases. Someone else will likely be enjoying this truck

Working a deal on a Lariat ER almost identical to the one I ordered. Ball in their court and I’m hoping for a discount from dealer in addition to the 7500 from FMC. We shall see……

Full disclosure folks, I cancelled my order a several weeks ago when I made the decision that I didn't want a full-size pickup as my daily. Mine was delivered to my dealer, Kings Ford in Cincinnati a couple of weeks ago. It is still on the lot with the $1500 Ford discount and a dealer discount of $2500 as well. It is a fantastic deal IMHO if you are looking for a SR XLT. They have one or two other SR XLTs on the lot as well and I believe all of their Lightnings are discounted $2500 on top of the Ford incentives. If you are getting tired of waiting on your particular one to be delivered, I highly recommend seeing what is on the lot at dealers all around you.

Long delay in response here, but I did pick mine up on Nov 1. I waited a few extra weeks after it was delivered to the dealer to see if any additional incentives would drop on Nov 1. No dice, but the incentives and discounts now compared to when I ordered are a ton more than I would've ever imagined. I've done a few upgrades since delivery and I'm loving it thus far..
