Anyone else getting "shuffled" - the ever-moving build date.

[OH3Cobra]

This could be the most disheartening experience I've had with Ford. Here's the timeline

Finally received a Vin in March with a 5/13 build week. Not great for an early order but a timeline
Then moved to 5/20
Then 5/27
Then 6/3
This Morning I looked because of the anticipation of next week - NOW 6/10
Went back in to validate my VIN after lunch... NOW 6/17..........

This is PAIN and unfair to someone who has been a Ford fan and owner (SVT Cobra, 2020 Shelby GT500, and a 23 Maverick).

At the end of my patience.....

My order placed on 5/30/23 has been holding strong at the 6/10 build week since it previewed in early April.

There's gotta be something going on with your order. Have you been able to get in contact with your dealer's regional rep?

regional rep non-responsive. I may be suffering from small dealer syndrome. My money is just as green......

I'm also working with a low volume dealer. They told me they had been in contact with their regional rep to help prioritize my build. Whether that actually happened, I'm not sure.

My scheduled date got pushed back 4 times. Spray in bedliner is the only option. Small town dealer if that matters.

same fact pattern......

No bedliner on mine.

My truck was scheduled for the week of 6/3. As of yesterday, tracker shows “In Production”. Specs are below:

Ranger Raptor

My salesman immediately enrolled me in this program :

CUSTOMER ORDER VERIFICATION PROGRAM
ENROLLMENT STATUS - APPROVED

Needless to say my 6/3 build began a week early.

Little Jealous - mine was scheduled week of 6/3 and as of yesterday it is now scheduled week of 6/10. I ordered through Suburban Ford in Sandy, OR.

Only option I have besides color is the spray in liner.

I got my build date back in March for June 10. Have not been pushed at all. Still holding for June 12 build. I guess I may of Jinxed things now but let’s see what happens. My dealer mentioned all their Ranger orders were pushed to that week. So hopefully your build date sticks!

What puzzles me is your order dates, Last year? My order date was 1/13/24 and it’s been in the garage for over a month. Build date 4/8/24 showed up at my dealer 5/3/24, smaller dealer in Enumclaw Wa.

Ordered mine on 5/29/23. In April of this year, I finally received a VIN and build week of 5/20/24.
That then turned into 6/24/24, which meant I probably wouldn't see the truck until late July or
early August. I then told my dealer I was going to find one myself, which I did and took delivery in early May. I've continued to track my original order and today saw that it was pushed again to
7/15/24. The truck on the verge of turning into a 2025 model. It makes no sense when the truck I
bought was ordered early this year delivered in April at a small dealer in northern Minnesota.
My dealer had no problem letting me out of my original order, I'm sure they won't have any problems selling it once it finally arrives. For me while I'm disappointed, I didn't get the one I ordered. I did get one very similar and I'm very happy with my new truck.

I had a 6/10 build date, but yesterday it was delayed to 6/26. Medium size dealer. Not sure I want to wait until the end of June only to get delayed again so I’m seriously considering walking away now and not going through what many of the current RR owners have experienced.

I ordered from a small town dealer and mine delivered mid March. XLT with high trim and step side + tow package. I walked because is came too fast and bought one in May from a dealer allocation
