We shall see how long I stay here or if I get bumped again. My backdoor pro looks like it will eventually get built.

Bumped to here…not holding my breath. Subsequently bumped to 5/8 but that seems to be holding.

Hoping to see a few more reports of VIN's for this build week so I can analyze production values

Oh nice. I haven't even gotten an email from Ford. I'll have to go look at it. I'm guessing it will have new pricing so that's going to be interesting. Although taking to the Mrs today there's almost no chance I'm keeping it. Just too much has changed financially. I'm supposed to be paying $53 and the window sticker has $66..... We will see what the dealer says when it shows up. I'm honestly thinking about finding an XLT when I can. I've seen a few out there for under $60

I have been following along as I have a pro ordered at the same time as you. And we are both scheduled for this week. I have a 53k order with a 66k sticker. My dealership is saying all the right things and that the price will be honored. Unfortunately, I have to buy it at 66 and wait the 45 days for my reimbursement from ford.
I still have a ways to go, hopefully nothing comes out of the wood work to derail. Good luck to you in whichever path you take.

I haven't heard anything from my dealer yet. We will see what happens. I'm not sure if I am going to buy it. I want to but I don't think financing the 66 up front and hoping there's a $12k rebate check somewhere in the wind is going to fly.

*Edit*
I truly don't understand how Ford isn't doing something about the customer having to float 10k+. I don't have that sort of cash floating around. But you know who does. Both the dealership and Ford.

I completely agree with you. I reserved during the presentation 2 years ago. To say that ford has disappointed me since giving them my money would be an understatement. Several times I’ve thought about canceling out of principal. But at the end of the day it still makes sense for me. I’m in a great need of a new truck, I don’t commute more than 80 miles in a day, electricity is comparatively cheap where I live, I qualify for the 7500 tax credit, and I am fortunate to have the means to purchase. I am optimistic the price protection will come through. And if it doesn’t, I am going to be upset but not enough to regret the purchase.

It looks like my truck has made it through the assembly line 5/5, the BCE modules have populated, no PCM modules yet.

I just checked out my build, BCE modules but no PCM modules yet.
All module data is below the lower heading, once you see a tear tag, that process is complete

Got the tear tag Monday but no further updates other than another email to join Ford Ambassador. Which I already have.
