✅ 9/26 Lightning Build Week Group

[TaxmanHog]

A little late to the group here but sharing in case it's helpful. I was able to put a deposit down on a dealer stock Lariat SR. Weird right now that it's saying the window sticker isn't available when I use the Ford tracker. I was able to get it previously and it's still available using the ordertrack.app site. Went into production on 10/7. Dealer says it's hung up at "the body company" but not sure exactly what that means. Keeping fingers crossed that it's here before the end of the year!

Thanks! How do you know the bed liner is being installed? Is that what "body company" means? I was hoping to track that more granular status without bugging the dealer but wasn't sure if it's available anywhere.

I have been tracking hundreds of builds as I read everyone's posts about VVR tracker status updates, a common theme is that when it goes there, special additions are being added to the truck after main-line production is done.

PS, I move your and my posts into the 9/26 build week, which is running 9/26 to 10/2, your blend day was Saturday 10/1

Gonna be bowing out of this thread as the one in this build week was a dealer stock and they got one on the lot sooner that i'm going to take. If it's valuable to this group the dealer said the one i was originally waiting for is looking like it's on a chip hold. They didn't sound too confident in it staying on schedule to be here this month or early next.

Do you by any chance know if you also had a chip hold after it was built? I think we had similar build dates and we both have a SR Lightning. Just curious what chip is causing the delay.

No chip hold that I know of but i was told no tpms, no tow package, no autoscales, available on this order. I’ll have to check the modules as built later.

Sounds good, thanks!
