I paid a social visit today to my dealer as I heard they received yesterday a stock/inventory order that wasn't expected for a while given the many holds for custom orders. I wanted the free massage from the platinum seats I ordered and to take a whiff of that new car smell. I've been monitoring this thread from day one in anticipation of my new platinum.
Anyhow, I saw a few trucks on the lot that appeared to be recent arrivals and collected the VIN numbers so I could do some sleuthing around the tracker pages.

Here's my notes. Looks encouraging to me. I'm hoping my order arrives either before Airventure in Oshkosh Wisconsin or afterwards so I can drive it to LasVegas for the DefCon security conference. I had basically given up on both ideas after speaking with my dealer tonight, but these notes might interest others. Maybe there's hope yet.

Stock order Platinum that arrived on ~June 23rd(?) at AutoNationFordWBL: http://www.windowsticker.forddirect....FW1E81MFA51989
Blend date was 5/17/2021, arrived on lot 6/23(?), so 37 days from blend to delivery. Shows as delivered on June 4th ?!?! per https://palsapp.com/
Adding 37 days to my 6/26 scheduled blend date is an estimated delivery of Monday, August 2, 2021 (just in time for DefCon)
My blend date is 6/26. Difference is 40 days.

Another comparison, found on lot at AutoNationFordWBL
http://www.windowsticker.forddirect....FW1ED9MFB69561
Seen 6/24, blend 5/15 = 40 days blend to lot.
Tracker shows delivery on June 17th - via https://palsapp.com/

Another found on lot at AutoNationFordWBL
http://www.windowsticker.forddirect....FX1E18MFB78769
Seen 6/24, blend 5/19 = 36 days blend to lot.
Shows delivery on June 1st per tracker page at palsapp

Anyone have ideas when my dealer actually received these trucks? Is the tracker at palsapp to be trusted? Did my dealer have these in a back lot or otherwise much sooner than I was told or assumed?

Got a VIN from MAS today. Window sticker has not been released on the windowsticker ford direct website. Tracker shows "Can't retrieve this VIN". Is the information going to be loaded after a few days/weeks?
Thanks.

Wait for it to load. It might take a minute or 2 to load. Then it might also load in another window. I did not realize this for weeks on mine. I was getting mad and pissed. I figure 3 months is ridiculous.

I am now waiting since 12/28/20 for my platinum on ramp 59. Says I will receive October 31/ 2021 maybe.

I sold my 2018 XLT sport last month for almost $10K more than Ford had offered me in Dec.2020 and my 2021 F150 Lariat 502A will now cost less than $500/month thanks to the extra $$ generated from selling the 2018 recently.

In the aemservices etc I get the really detailed list ( only readable in firefox ), I get missing part.png.

I have not been able to get that picture out to see what it is. My truck is showing in production since June 20, 2021.

Probably will extend the delivery date.
Dealer is not even returning phone calls or email.

Thanks for the info on how to track my truck. Very helpful

Look you all know there is a world wide chip shortage. So why the hell do you keep posting your little problems about now receiving your trucks. I ordered my truck December 28,2020. It was built 3/17/21. I now have a delivery date October 31. 2021. So if you think you are going to bitch and complain here are your options.
1) cancel your order. Then go buy and another brand
and wait for that one also.
2). Go buy a used truck and pay more than what
they are worth
3). Stop buying Chinese **** that uses computer
chips or better yet stop buying everything made
in China
4) stop complaining and go on with life. We don’t
want to hear the same crap complaints fir the next
6 months

on a brighter note, Ford did just receive a huge load of chips that will be installed. In trucks that have been sitting in storage since November 2020. So hold your panties awhile longer

I don't see a whole lot of complaining from most posting here. Many have a heck of a right to whine and complain as there's not a lot of available logic to explain why some more recent orders ship and older ones still sit without updates.... I'm sorry for your pain.
But I see mostly hope, anticipation, excitement and the joy of learning what's going on with one the larger purchases of their lifetime. Top 10 for lots of us.
I would agree, most of us don't want to hear any whining or complaining. I hope the best for you and your order.

I was at my dealer yesterday. He said I could get the rebates available at time of order 3/10/21 or at delivery. He showed me my order on his computer with the 3/10 date that had 1,500 plus 1,000 if using Ford credit and today’s date that had 1,500 trade assist.
