2023 MY Super Duty Order/Schedule/Build dates from Ford...

[Anthonyb]

Build week dates are mystifying to me. Your order for a Lariat Tremor Ultimate states a build week of 08/07/23 (which is a Monday). My build was previewed and scheduled (Tremor Lariat Ultimate) the same period as yours was but was assigned a build week of 08/03/23 (the proceeding Thursday). So when do Ford Build Weeks actually start and end?

 

[Anthonyb]

I'm really not sure. I assume that my is just a notice that I am scheduled for production the week of Aug 7. Then when it's assigned a slot on the line then that is my actual production date. My tracker still shows order confirmation has not updated with the scheduled date for Aug 7 that step is not checked as of today but the email I received said scheduled production date week of 8/7 and a vin also a link for the WS which is not active yet maybe next week just before it goes onto the line. Nonetheless that is a very good question unfortunately I have not a clue. Just my best guess of course.

I had the issue with the DORA having 3.55 and Window sticker having 3.31

I ended up buying the Truck I ordered. I didn't want to risk them not being able to re-build a 2023, and the 2024 appears to not have the Tow Tech package for a Lariat non-ultimate


I'm happy with my decision, great looking truck

The tow technology package is now included with the Lariat ultimate package for 24MY.

Ford is really moving now. After waiting for months this tracker is hauling ass. Time to order the accessories!!!!!

Ford is going crazy right now. After reading all the horror stories on here they have definitely fast tracked something.

I would be very cautious about taking delivery of a vehicle built that fast.

Really? 2 days from in production to built? And you would be cautious about it...

They make(or have the capacity to make) like 900 trucks a day, something like that. And thats only 2 shifts I believe. They are making 56 trucks an hour if a shift is 8 hours... Damn near 1 truck per minute rolls off the line. Even if they only made HALF of the 900 number I have thrown around, thats 1 truck every 2 minutes. Ford claims they can push 88 trucks an hour at KTP, im guessing thats 3 shifts which I dont think they have run for the past few years.

They might build them fast now but the dealers will still hold them to address the clusterf*uck recall.

I agree with this. I was 289 of 583 on this run. And I plan on going through a very detailed walk through. Plus warranty. I’m not worried in the slightest.

The only thing I found on my truck during my inspection was the weatherstripping on the bottom of the cab(that seals both door bottoms) on the passenger side was loose. The little clips(about 5 of them) hadnt been pushed into the holes and it was hanging...very obvious. I just pushed the clips in and looked at the sales man and said "your all's PDI process is really shitty, what else OBVIOUS am I going to find" and he just kinda stood there with his mouth open like "holy fuck our guys suck"... This was after he took me over to see it in the wash bay and I had to point out about 9 points where it was still nasty with some kind of black grease, tape residue, etc...

I checked the door fit as there were reports of bent doors. Mine were fine or at least fine enough I didnt notice anything.

All doors opened and closed, tail gate opened with the button in the cab and on the tail gate, windows all rolled up and down, rear window opened and closed.

Only thing I wish I had done was drive it because immediately after leaving the dealership I noticed the steering wheel was off to the left about 10 degrees(my 22 was this way also) and I would have either forced them to get it aligned real quick or give me the 140 it costs at the local 4x4 shop(im 3 hours from the dealer)... Im guessing they would have thrown it on an alignment rack and said "Look its in the green, in Ford's spec, nothing wrong"... so whatever. Ill take it to my local guy to do his magic which will probably include adding some caster.


When I bought a 2019 Corvette Z06 they tried to deliver it to me with etched water spots EVERYWHERE. I told them "this has to be polished out, it cant just be washed, if you cant do that let me know and my detail guy in Dallas will do it, but its about 1k bucks". Their detail manager came over and was like "wtf, this is fucking terrible, we can fix this". I had to stay in Houston a night because he said he couldnt get it done by end of the day. They gave me a rental and bought me a hotel, dinner and breakfast. Next day the car was flawless and the detail manager said he worked on it himself and gave it a coat of some kind of wax also. He told me that he has tried to get dealership management to let him work every Corvette that goes through there, but its to time consuming i.e. to much $$$$$ so they hope nobody notices.

I wouldn't worry either unless it was built by the Assan Motors Corporation in a small Pennsylvania town in 1986.

I wonder if Ford is still doing the quality control steps they announced a few months ago.

My order shows in production (as of this morning) but no Window Sticker is available. When does the window sticker become accessible ?

My Ford pass shows in production but my tracker bar still shows order confirmation and I received an email on the 20th with scheduled production date week of Aug 7th with a vin and a link to the WS that says no window sticker available at this time. I'm sure it will update tomorrow or next week.

Try this directly, paste your vin in, might work earlier than that link itself

They are driving them for sure before loading out. They are alway going from the plant down to Old Henry Road and back. Ford’s on Parade
