Your dealer is your best source for up-to-date info. Contact your sales person or the new car manager to get the status of your order. They have 24/7 access to Ford’s vehicle visibility system that provides everything you’re asking about. Some dealers are. better than others at providing updates.Bought a Sport, a Badlands, on January 9th but have not received an email or VIN. anyone know how to obtain such information? can’t hardly wait to get this thing but no information is driving me crazy!
I also ordered my badlands on January 9th. I got my VIN a couple weeks later and have a build week of March 22. I’m sure if you reach out to your dealer they’ll have this info for you.Bought a Sport, a Badlands, on January 9th but have not received an email or VIN. anyone know how to obtain such information? can’t hardly wait to get this thing but no information is driving me crazy!
Did you get the badlands package, tow package, and cargo management system?I also ordered my badlands on January 9th. I got my VIN a couple weeks later and have a build week of March 22. I’m sure if you reach out to your dealer they’ll have this info for you.
I really do not believe 3 months from order to build is abnormal. It took 3 months from order to delivery for mine. My F-150 that is awaiting shipment is also 3 month order—to-delivery, and that is a Kansas build with only one shift working right now.I also order on Jan 9th! Busy day I guess! Badlands without Badlands package. Only extras were cargo management and Copilot+. I did get a VIN, but I had to call the Ford marketing department to get it, I don't have their number anymore but it's easy enough to find. I originally had a build date of March 15, now it's pushed back to April 12. Unfortunately these delays have been pretty much the norm around here.
Agreed, 3 months is reasonable, but then you have all the people that ordered back in November or even July that are still waiting on orders, with their dates pushed to this Spring. The problem right now is the uncertainty. We all want to believe our dealers (mine said 8-12 weeks from order date), but then the date keeps getting pushed back and we read about other people that put in their orders before we did and their build date is now after ours and it makes us not know who or what to believe. At this point it feels like our build date emails from Ford are just wishful thinking.I really do not believe 3 months from order to build is abnormal.

I did get the BL package and tow package, but not the cargo management.Did you get the badlands package, tow package, and cargo management system?
Yeah, mostly resulting in the semiconductor shortage as more people buy laptops, new Playstations, etc, plus the rising price of Bitcoin so more people are mining, etc. Lots of factors.Covid is really messing up production everywhere. They're building cars with whatever parts they have. Their initial build plan is long gone.
You should receive an email like this. My dealer told me my production date would be March 22, however Ford has it scheduled for April 12.Bought a Sport, a Badlands, on January 9th but have not received an email or VIN. anyone know how to obtain such information? can’t hardly wait to get this thing but no information is driving me crazy!

Dang I’m so annoyed I haven’t heard anything. So I see your production date...any idea how long after that you’ll get it?I also ordered my badlands on January 9th.
