Officially out of the waiting room after 7 months! Gave up on my June order that is still sitting in Mexico and was lucky to find exactly what I had ordered at a dealership 2 hours away. Picked it up today!
Exactly! Thank you. I can only speak to what Iāve been told by the new dealership that Iām dealing with. Thatās what they were told by their Ford Rep regarding the June builds.
Maybe it will be different for US builds.
Iām only offering what I was told by the new dealership Iām now dealing with - my old dealership that I placed my order with kept telling me they had no information when my June build would arrive. I started searching, found a dealership 2.5 hours away that had a badlands exactly what I ordered...
No I was told they wonāt be finished and shipped until they finish all other customer and dealer stock orders first, then the June builds will be brought back to the plant to be finished and shipped.
I was told it is bec for them to bring the June orders back to the plant and put the missing chips in them they have to stop production which they wonāt do. The new dealership Iām dealing with told me that those June orders will not be brought back to the plant to be finished until after all...
Sounds like you are in the ā June Desert rot clubā most of the vehicles built in June are still missing the RCM chip and were sent to rot in the Mexican desert. Builds since June have been completed and shipped. So they have the chips, I was told that for them to bring the desert rot orders...
I was told by the new dealer Iām dealing with that also has builds from June sitting that they have been told those builds will not be brought back to the plant to be finished until AFTER they have completed all 2021 customer orders and stock orders, they wonāt stop the production lines to bring...
No after all that they dealer started to give me the run around on when that one was arriving so started search againā¦.lucky to find exactly what I ordered (with black roof) has tow package (which I didnāt order) but will take!
I have been doing the same and just found one today 2.5 hours away that is confirmed built and shipped! I will be cancelling my original ādesert rotā deposit and grabbing this oneā¦.ETA is end of this month ??
If you click on PTI info thatās where it will show you the chips/modules installed- it should show a date for each oneā¦.the last one for me shows ānullā thatās the one Iām still waiting for
Iām also in Canada if you have your VIN you can check to see if it has all the chips/modules
Mine is missing the last one the RCM as well as shows the fuel line recall now ā¹ļø

I canāt say Iāve heard anything concrete ā¹ļø
I was told those dates were āworst caseā but now as we are getting closer with no updates Iām worried those dates are just a pipe dream.
Just wondering how many of us are in the Desert Club?
Ordered Feb 10/21, Built June 11/21 has been sitting in the desert ever since. NO explanation from Ford.
