Well, after reserving 5/20/21 and ordering 9/7/22, I finally have a window sticker! Happy Thanksgiving to me!

I am scheduled blend on 12/11/22, which I thought was interesting since that is a Sunday. I also am scheduled for convoy, so hope that speeds up delivery. (Dearborn to Sioux Falls, SD)

Other 12/5 build week folks, post your updates here. Finally getting real, and hopeful to have it by January.

Though my delivery range starts tomorrow I am still stuck on a microchip hold. Anyone else stuck in purgatory with me? I think this killed what shot I had to get in this tax year.
Mine was only on chip hold for a couple days. It's built, but still waiting on shipment.
Mine says it's due to be shipped this week. Last week, when I spoke with customer service. He said a chip hold.
The impending snow storm wouldn't help with transit, anyway.
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......
How long are people seeing the spray in bed liner delay shipping or delivery?
Mine says shipped, but delivery is estimated for 1/1/23 to 1/7/23, hoping it to be here before end of year but not holding my breath.

Mine was built 11/29/2022. ETA was 12/23/2022. Has changed now to 01/02/23. Shipping an issue I guess.
I'm also on chip hold, 12/11 build. I guess it's at ramp 54 for whatever that means. Not sure if my bedliner done yet or not.

I contacted through email, Ford Canada. That is what they told me, however when I go to the tracking site it still says arranging shipping. With a winter storm arriving I’m not holding my breath.

Can I ask what email you reached out to? (fellow Canuck here) I'm 10/27 blend and 12/09 "built" and the dealer has an invoice.... But status is still waiting for shipping to be arranged...

Just fordcanada.ca under customer service. They seem to get back fairly soon. Just give them your vin#. Mine was built 11/29 when they sent me the photo off the assembly line.
I noted in my account today that the truck is listed as "built" but still no estimated delivery.....blend 12/11/22
got notification truck shipped today. Being picked up by convoy in Flat Rock and heading straight to AR.
Built 12/14,12/16 received email saying built and shipping expected 12/30 to 1/5. Nothing since. Until today...Now 1/15 to 1/21.
I just checked..my expected delivery data has moved in one day..now 12/23-12/29. Crossing fingers nothing changes now.

Well, my order moved to shipped! No ETA yet, nor any email from Ford. Coming on Canadian National rail.

My ETA is Jan. 2/23 but site doesn’t say shipped. So I’m assuming it has been shipped.
I went from built to shipped back to built and now back to shipped. Yesterday they said it was in Melvindale which I believe is the giant train staging yard, thought they were still showing a chip hold.
