Now TV commercials for Maverick to go along with Bronco Sport commercials. Maybe Ford should take commercial money and put it toward building vehicles instead?
And spend it on what? It's not a money problem it's a supply issues where suppliers can't deliver. We are in a world where shipping stuff is challenging and finding someone to work instead of live off government handouts is even more challenging.

Every morning I look out the window at my nextdoor neighbors BS , it makes the waiting even tougher, then I run in and check the tracker, damn, still not built.

Chip supply. Kentucky speedway is stacked with F150 their lifeblood waiting on chips. Depending on China for anything is bad government.
It was not the government that moved to the cheaper production area. Don't get me wrong we need to get closer to home with a lot of things.

So, what do you do when your dogs wake you up a 0430 to go outside, you check the Tracker. Sticker updated in a few areas: Date updated to 6/12. No more Convoy, it says Rail. It also has Colorado as destination, and not Sonora.
Production completed yesterday, and (for now) have an ETA of 7/6. :thumbsup::fingerscrossed:

Took the word out of my mouth, globalized supply chains were established by economics.
Many companies chose to outsource or offshore their operations based on cost.

But it certainly doesn't help when your government incentivizes the domestic labor-force to not work.

Hyundai & Kia don’t appear to have a problem.

I found a few items on his list I was not aware of and overall an informative video, never mind a bit annoying narration.

So, the info that I saw on the tracker for a few hours, is now gone. :facepalm: Anticipation.
Any bets?

Agreed. Employers are begging for workers. My son and daughter are getting pretty tired of an employee of theirs that is having trouble showing up for work but they are loath to fire the person because it's so damn hard to find help.

By the way, my BB is built and on the way to the dealer. And low and behold, the dealers website has my (correct VIN) vehicle on their website for sale. Hmm. Oh, the vehicle isn't delivered (per the tracker) yet and I talked to the sales guy the day before it showed up on the website. I explained that once the vehicle arrives he is to call me with the exact amount I have to have on the cashiers check when I show up to buy the vehicle. I think I left him with no doubt that I want the vehicle.

We shall see.

Hi all frustrated BS buyers :) Some news on my front. My status changed to in production this morning, and I have a window sticker. First change in a while. It was rescheduled awhile ago to June 14. So hopefully it goes through production without stopping. Also someone mentioned that there is not a check mark in the production circle but an inner ring. That is true of mine also. Good fortune to all.

Ordered a new BS Cactus Gray BL - w/ BL , Tow , 360+, CMS on March 5,
