That sounds like good news? Are there other 8/14 waiting to ship? Sitting for a month seems terrible for bottom line. I hope they get them here in Oct as promised, it would go a long way to improve customer confidence.

Three VIN's for the 8/14 week I have been monitoring have not listed as built or shipped yet.

It's found here with your VIN, it's an indication the truck has passed down the assembly line and been programmed for operation, the data is archived for Service Technician's use if modules' need reprogramming in the future.

That link doesn't work for me. I get "The window sticker has not yet been released for this vehicle" message even though it was released over a month ago. Somehow it disappeared 2 weeks ago.

Awesome! Tear tag is there! Hopefully it's done soon!

Looks like I am close. I see codes posted for my 9/14 blend date XLT SR. I’m guessing that means I’m close to either being shipped or waiting for delivery at some point. The app still shows as In Production.

Still no updates for mine with blend date 9/17. No change in the tracker, no codes.

I bet you will see codes tomorrow.

I have the same blend date. I have a good feeling about tomorrow.

Called my dealer today, he confirmed my truck was built yesterday and his information showed it was sent offsite on a factory hold waiting for a part. (XLT ER, no add ons). It didn't say what it was waiting on though. It also told him estimated delivery date to the dealership (WI) of between October 4 to October 10th. He'll update me if he sees changes in those delivery dates or the factory hold.

Hey everyone,
Just submitted my order details to the Google Form. I’m waiting on a black ‘23 Lariat ER (no additional options, no bed liner). It was ordered 8/1 with original scheduled build work of 9/4, bumped to week of 9/11. It flipped to “In Production” around 9/4 but didn’t get an actual date on that step until 9/14.

It has not flipped to Built yet. I used your link and It has a Tear Tag and BCE codes as of the other night, 9/18 I believe.

Can anybody explain what this all means? From reading this thread I feel like it means the truck is built but waiting on something?

Thanks for all the info you all provide here. You’re helping me deal with the world’s longest Christmas Eve!

So you can be happy your truck is built! But it'll be waiting for something like the rest of the trucks. Unknown what it is exactly though. Just guessing that it must be something small enough to not hold up production and stop the assembly lines, but important enough that they don't want to release the trucks until the part is added.
