I'm now entering week 4 since my truck entered "In Production" status. Blend date was 4/30 but status is still in production. It seems many others with various production dates are in the same limbo state. I haven't seen anyone in the past few weeks confirm shipment of their order. We all received the generic supply chain issues letter last week.
Can anyone confirm that shipments have continued over the past few weeks? I'm beginning to wonder if there is another silent "stop shipment" going on due to parts issues. Or perhaps it's just a few orders like mine that are outliers.

Production shouldn't take more than a day unless it has to wait for a spray in bedliner, which I'm told might take another 3-5 days.

My blend date was 4/19, I think it shifted to complete around 4/25 and was shipped a few days later. Dunno if that helps as it was slightly before your blend date

4/29 blend. Still in production.

Assembly line is given priority.
trucks built after you will be completed and ship before yours.
Just waiting on parts.

Mine was updated to in production on 5/5 with a 5/3 blend date (I think). No update since then. Ford website still shows as 'in production'.

At some point there was news about missing parts (door handles) for certain color trucks. They put different colors on the vehicles they built, then parked them until the correct handles arrive. A lot of the suppliers at Ford are also facing labor disruptions which may impact parts availability.

Ford customer service told me my delivery estimate is this weekend however the order status website still shows 'in production'. We shall see.
