I had a quite low offer from a Spokane dealer but passed on it - '24 has been sitting for months there.

The last 3-4 weeks have been stuck here for me. Anyone gotten past it in the Ford dashboard? Was that what you just got past, TheDJPhrost?

@Ray R

Your truck shipped today!!!

I'm curious as to what your post means. There is no green dot or check mark under "Shipped" in the screenshot you've posted.

And on March 4, 2024, Ray R posted this:

I found a’23 XLT ER that’s exactly what I wanted, so I bought it instead of waiting for the Flash. And I managed to save over $10k in the process, so icing on top for sure.

which might mean he cancelled this order and bought a different truck.

I missed his bail out post, (I skimmed looking for it but missed it).

Trust me, I know a thing or two about this, if you had the pleasure of read through build week threads last year, we found oddities.

No surprise, that a glitch in the production tracker occurs when the vehicle has shipped, the literal status "Order Confirmed" appears instead of shipped on the day of loading to a conveyance (rail car usually ... this one is going to Oregon.

The following day, or maybe late this evening the timeline will correct to "SHIPPED", the green dot will appear with the action date corresponding to when it happened, which is typically the "Last Updated" date.

This nugget of data is great to know that the production hold / repair` / shipping is showing signs of resolution.

What do you need in order to hit this webpage?

So the magic word in the screenshot is "Order Confirmed", and a similar screenshot of that webpage will appear in a more readable form shortly?

What do you need in order to hit this webpage?

Now that I almost have an order in, I am also interested in how to get to that webpage...

Another thing: if Ray R. has indeed bailed on this order, who gets this truck now?

In any case:

This nugget of data is great to know that the production hold / repair` / shipping is showing signs of resolution.

I thought the same thing.

The truck was a dealer stock order based on the blue watermarks of the sticker, I would assume that it will be subjected to the new pooling inventory distribution model, there may already be a customer standing buy waiting for it to land at his prefered dealership, not necessarily the original ordering dealership.

Use the following links to locate the production status of trucks:
Ford-US
Ford-Canada

You will need the four digit order code from the window sticker in the above example, J336

That along with the VIN can be input on the above site.

Produces the following report:

The dealership doesn't show this truck as inbound -yet-, but they have another "In Transit"
https://www.landmarkford.com/lightning

Pooled Inventory match the trucks specs are these samples are speculative and unbuilt.

2025 models - any insight on if those will roll out this late fall?

Thanks. It doesn't look like any of the order numbers for build and price actually work on this site.

I'm not certain about the balance out date for MY24 probably late fall to December or if they will be allowing "Special Orders" in MY25, if they do that would be starting in the fall of '24

I've also noticed, not being able to pull data on trucks allegedly arriving in the near future.

 

[TaxmanHog]

The truck listed on Landmark's dealer page is showing data, but interestingly I didn't see it in the corporate regional query, (too many hits to sift through)

BTW, Ray's former truck order has not updated yet as of this mornings check.
