Blend date is the window sticker. If you see a bunch of modules after going through the linked page it means your truck is alive. If you have a tear tag (at the top) it means you are just about done, barring any extra checks and add-ons. If you call the ford marketing line at (800) 334-4375‬ they may be able to give you an estimated arrival at your dealer. This seems optimistic as mine said yesterday 21-27 December but it might scratch the itch to get an update.

Congrats!

I reserved 5-25-21. I ordered 11-15-22. Yesterday, I got an email from Ford that said my build week is 1-9-23 and they sent me my VIN number. :love:

I'm going to give my insurance agent my VIN so he can let me know what I'm looking at as far as my premium. I hope it's not too much more than what I pay for my current 2007 F-150.

To all of you Lightning owners that went from ICE to Lightning, did your insurance rate go up alot?
Just for your information, I have State Farm (took delivery of a 2023 Lariat SR on 12/6/2022), and was quoted about $77.00 a month. I have a 2016 F-150 XLT that is about $40 per month, at least the last time I looked.

I called this morning and found my expected delivery date is 12-22. However, it is currently waiting on a chip before its fully complete...

Same story waiting on a chip. I have a tear tag. I was told by Ford Representative it moves to Flatrock after initial production for "secondary production". It appears mine is ready to move to Flatrock. Once it completes Flatrock it moves to Dearborn for final then shipping.

And I have my tear tag 2 days after my blend date!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish I had not opted for the spray in bed liner......
So timing wise you should get it the first or second week in January, sucks to be so close to the end of this year for the tax credit. I may have missed you discussing this elsewhere, any chance the dealer let's you do paperwork to close by 12/31?
