I got "into produciton" on 6/6/2024 (scheduled for production 6/10/2024). I am still in production, is this typical? Last time I ordered a ford vehicle, the truck was in production for 3 days and showed up at the dealership before it was moved to"built" on the tracker.

I do understand there are some people that have been in production since January, but I am assuming that is not typical because people are getting their trucks produced.

I have a Ranger Raptor on order, with beadlock wheels and the securicode pad. No SIBL

I'm not sure if there is a normal anymore? But mine was in production for 13 days and it has the SIBL.

The RR that I was going to get from my local dealer has been “In Production” since 4/15. Glad I gave up on it and grabbed one from an out of state dealership.

there is no normal, or standard amount of time and a lot of factors make it variable. All "in production" status means is it is cleared to send down the line at some time when they are ready. Don't forget they are also building Broncos and BRs on the same line as Ranger and RR. The schedulers plan the priorities and try to maximize efficiency of the line and constantly tweak it on the fly even daily. The trackers are not updated to reflect each little move made as priorities change.

But not all of them are getting parked on a lot. SOME must be hitting lots. MANY rangers/RRaptors are being delivered around me (Zone 2, detroit). What does "In Production" actually mean if it isn't actually on the line/ready to run off the line within a set time period? How is that any different than just getting your VIN assigned?

So I was doing some digging and I found out my BCE modules have as built data per motorcraft's as built website. Additionally, I found my window sticker (the pizza tracker for whatever reason DOES NOT contain my window sticker link) and the truck has a blend date of 6/13/2024. I checked on 6/11/2024 and the BCEs were not pupulated.

All of this is pointing to the truck being produced just not labeled as completed, or is this data/sources innacurate?

Most of the Jan Feb builds are sitting on lots

Contact Ford Support chat. My truck was built last week. Website says in production. I asked what did the Ford system say for ETA on arrival to dealer and they gave me July 12-18.

I got so many different responses from ford chat, such as the truck is in "secondary production" to the vehicle isn't even on the line yet. I was told I have no ETA to my earliest update would be 7/18/2024.

Every other source is telling me this vehicle physically exists and has been started and drove at least 1 time (as I can see it in Fordpass now, and it has module data, and a window sticker). How is this so incredibly disorganized? It's honestly shocking

Yeah I agree. Let’s see how next few weeks go waiting. We are in the same boat. I wouldn’t pull out yet.
