Ouch. Seems very clear there was a quality issue. Early orders were stacked on lots. They are working back through them, but as the newest built would be at front of the lot, they ate being handled first.Mine went In production on 1/17. It's still in production 76 days later.
So was mine and I just got an email on the 30th it was built.Mine went In production on 1/17. It's still in production 76 days later.
I thought that too originally but then I saw the video the All Terrain Nation guy posted with drone footage of the F-150 holding lot. Many of the trucks were accessible simply because they were parked in normal parking spots and not blocked in. The other trucks that were packed were done so in lines in which early builds would (presumably) be at the front and easiest to get out. It's possible the Ranger holding lot is completely different or used a really poor management strategy. Either way the video suggested to me that Ford at least has the ability to FIFO the vehicles.They'll get to you, but as being one of the earlier built, sadly you're in the back of the lot and will be one of the last handled.
From the dates people are posting, it looks like the earlier builds are shipping now so it’s just a matter of when for us. My dealer already has an XL that’s ready to go but the blend date was 3/20 so it makes sense that build went out quick.I thought that too originally but then I saw the video the All Terrain Nation guy posted with drone footage of the F-150 holding lot.

Agreed. There is light at the end of the tunnel now. My dealer just got a Lariat in. I ordered a Lariat so a simple swap would normally have been ok with me except white is literally the only color I specifically don't want and sure enough that's the color of the in stock vehicle. Darn the luck!From the dates people are posting, it looks like the earlier builds are shipping now so it’s just a matter of when for us.
