that's pretty good odds in my favor lol...would you recommend I keep calling Ford every day to see if the location updates? or some other method to determine if its actually on its way from Michigan to Colorado and no longer waiting on a chip?

Not everyday, here is an overview of Colorado deliveries in recent months ..... Good Luck!

...Lariat ER, max tow. 10/28 blend. All modules and tear tag visible on 10/29. Actually got the built notification 11/2, but it's really been on chip hold. No ETA at this time. Getting frustrated. But I know how this works. I've bought other F-150s, Bronco Sports, Explorers over the past 2 years and have encountered a couple brief holds, although this is the longest. I got my '21 Bronco Sport in less than 90 days from time of order while I watched others who ordered before me have theirs sit in the desert due to who knows what reason for MONTHS. Ford either gets me a truck or they don't... Still have an inside track on a '22 mannequin spec'd just the way I originally ordered and it can be sold in about 10 days. So if mine isn't shipped by then and I can work the right deal on the mannequin I guess I'll go that route. Whatever... Mannequin isn't missing features like the '23 Lightning. OTOH, it was early off the line and has been sitting for the past 6 months and tons of people climbing through it.

Just sitting here waiting for built status and no new information from @Ford Motor Company

I am build week of 11.21. I noticed that my sticker was not being generated and there was no update on Ford.com so I called Ford. My truck is on Ramp 51 which means it's on a microchip hold. So we wait.

Could you share your VIN with me via DM?
I'm curious if you were assigned a revised VIN, ex 1FT6 converted to 1FTV, if that happened, then the 9th digit (check digit) would also change, I've got a routine to determine the new number and can share that with you if the dealer has not already confirmed the original or revised VIN

I chatted with Ford today and they said my truck is now in West Chicago, IL...so its looks like its moving towards Denver! @TaxmanHog I believe you were correct!

Build week 10/31, Blend date 11/4, Tear tag 11/6. Lariat ER. In chip purgatory.

 

[matt.sillz]

pass the chips.

Seeing some members from 10/24 build week getting "Built" status, seems like there is finally some progress. Fingers crossed most of us are released soon!

Very frustrating seeing builds with blend dates after mine reach Built status while I still wait on a microchip hold. I ask Ford chat about this a few minutes ago and they just put me to an automated survey, like they didn't want to answer the question. Would never recommend Ford to anyone after this going on for the passed year.

I feel the same way. I'm in the 11/7 build group and I'm seeing guys in the 11/14 group as shipped to dealers with the same build I have... Lariat ER. It kind of sucks, especially since Ford should be prioritizing the trucks with an MSRP over $80k so we can get tax credits.
