The tracker will switch to "in production" and a sticker will be issued up to a week before the build begins. They are not actually building it yet, just preparing to. The tracker will populate a date under "in production" once the build begins. Once it is rolling down the line you will get a...
I wonder how accurate these delivery estimates really are. Mine went into production on 12/1 and is estimated for 12/31 delivery. I will honestly be pretty shocked if it goes from production start to dealer lot in 31 days, especially over the holidays.
Just checked the tracker and my "in production" date popped up this morning: 12/1.
Estimated delivery date is New Years Eve! ???
Looks like nothing has changed on my sticker so I don't know if they are just not putting blend dates on them
And just to recap, this is Badlands ordered on 9/9...
Mine has not updated yet either, but I was about 1 day behind everyone else in getting a window sticker so I'm hoping it changes tomorrow. My sales guy called me today to tell me it was being built this week.
Regarding your question about BL fuel economy - you may have seen this already, but here's another thread discussing exactly that:
Pretty good MPG with the Badlands!
The short story is that it looks like most people are getting numbers that are reasonably close to the projected EPA rating...
Awesome write up! Big Bend is one of my absolute favorite places in the country. South Rim trail is maybe my favorite hike ever. Can’t recommend this place enough! Thank you for sharing this
I was under the impression that the sticker gets posted before the blend date is set, and then the blend date pops up on the sticker once they know the date it's actually going down the line. But I do not know if this is correct.
My sticker popped up and status changed to "in production" last...
Hmm, maybe I'm just missing it, but I don't see a blend date on that sticker. I wonder if the rest of us should be expecting to see our blend date. I've been waiting for mine to pop since I'm in production, but nothing so far.
CERT is something to do with emissions rating I think, and most of those little boxes like RAMP and BUMP are related to the destination. NB is a destination code as well. Ford used to use "NA" in this spot for North America. I do not know what the NB code means specifically.
I had them in my toyota once too, but it was parked for a week at a trailhead while I was backpacking. I think they'll find a way into any vehicle if they want to. Interesting tip about the mint oil, I'll have to remember that.
unfortunately those little suckers can pretty much find a way into anything. If they can find a space that their skull fits through, they are coming in. I fight a constant war with them at work and I'm usually losing.
if you are inside a garage, i would put traps around. There are also those...
i think i have many of the same features as you, not really sure why i went into prod first. could be something in premium package is a hold up. i've got badlands, 360+, tow, but no PP or moonroof.
THAR SHE BLOWS!
I specifically told the dealer I didn't want a front license plate bracket. That sucker better be easy to remove. Yes, I do need to have just one thing to b***h about ?
