When it starts down the line you will get a in production date.
That will be your blend date or day it was assembled.
Then you will get a built date and hopefully a quick ship date.
my special order
In production 02/01
Built 07/10 166 days sitting in a Michigan parking lot
Shipped 07/15
Delivered 07/25

Not sure what model you ordered. Does it have the 2.7L engine?

I posted this in another thread, but thought it relevant here as well:

My order went into production last week and my Blend Date was yesterday (8/7) per the pizza tracker. Out of curiosity, I searched AutoTrader for 2.7L Rangers and found a few listed as "in transit" to dealerships. I then picked four of those and found the window sticker to pull the order number. With the VIN and order number for those four trucks, I was able to pull them up on the pizza tracker as well. None of the four trucks I picked have been shipped from the factory. Of those four, the first VIN with a "Built" date in the pizza tracker was yesterday (8/7), and that truck has not shipped. The Blend Date for that truck was 8/5.

For those not aware, the truck will go into production, then a few days later you will see a date added next to your "in production" date. The date added is your "Blend Date." This is the day the truck starts down the final assembly line. The final assembly line takes a shift or two, but your "built" date could be a couple days or more after your Blend Date. On rare occasions you could even see weeks between your Blend Date and built date.

My build date was 8/12 and as of this morning (8/8) it was pushed out to 8/26. If this happens again, I may be looking at a 25'.

The original truck I ordered spent 7 months between “in production” and “built” status…

I did go look at it when it finally arrived at the dealer. Problems all over! Rust, misaligned and repainted body panels, scratches, faded and swollen trim pieces…
So glad Ford gave all those lazy UAW workers a raise! That’s what you get for giving into union demands!

Mine was ordered 5/2 and went into production 8/7. Hopefully I have it soon

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this very important information.
