The bottom margin says 4/15/2021. The special order panel has 4 13 21 on it. Which is the date?
The date on the bottom margin updates any time progress is made on your vehicle (window sticker generated, production starts, production completes, shipped, etc). Production will start a week after the date in the special order panel, and that date will not change.
Go by the date in the special order box then add a week. The bottom date really means nothing. I've seen window stickers from vehicles on dealers lots and they are still updating.....

The following is an excerpt of one of the VVRs my salesman forwarded to me. I bolded the part that showed my railcar information:
| In Transit | Shipped Rail - Railcar # BNSF300826 (Ferrocar ril Mexicano S.a. De C.v. ) | Ramp 54, Hermosillo Asy, SO | Mar-24-2021, 16:00 MT | Apr-23-2021 | Apr-29-2021 |
If your salesman is the one giving you limited information, he might not know what's available. If you want, you can try talking with the inventory manager at the dealership. I got lucky. I went from regular customer to nagging irritant to "Damn dude...that's impressive. I'm gonna call you whenever I need to hunt somebody down!"
The guy I've been talking to is the sales manager.
That's kinda weird...my sales guy gave me the VVR and said they could track it all the way here if I wanna call every other day.
You can either ask to speak to the general manager...or sit back with a good book and try to take your mind off of it. If you're anything like me, you'd scrap the book idea. But seriously...if you go that route, just talk about how excited you are to be getting your new vehicle and that you keep seeing examples of others getting the information you're missing. However you decide to word it, just don't come off crabby. You're just a curious consumer wanting to track your new car.
I think my order is identical to yours, ordered 2-18, same production date.
Last week I found an article on fordauthority.com that said certain BL options (Gray roof, Moon roof, tow pkg) will cause a 4 week delay in production. The article didn't say "why" these options causes the delay.
Sounds like it only took 2 days to build your BL! That's pretty darn quick!After 253 days I will be officially out of the waiting room this afternoon. Placed order 7/31/20 BL+BL, tow, 360+, floor Mats with carpet, cargo mat, cargo mgmt. Picking up this afternoon. Went into production 4/7/21 shipped 4/9/21 arrived at dealership 4/19/21. Only 10 days shipping from Mexico to IA. Thought that was pretty good.
Hang in there everyone your day will come!
