Mine had 8/4 into production and no update since then. Dealer told me it was on 'chip hold'. Don't have a date yet. Platinum editiion.

Bummer. I had a Sept 2 build date, with a chip hold. That ended today when I got an email it had shipped, ETA dealer Oct 10-16.

My Lariat, production week 8/17, continues to be on a @chip hold” and the eta dates has been changing as well.

For me when they did the Chip hold, it was right build. The EYT was changed from Sept 30-Oct 6 to Oct 6-10. Right on time, the truck was shipped to meet the same ETA of Oct 6-10. So it seems when they did the Chip hold, they also knew when the needed chip(s) would arrive. That is all I can figure. I guess it depends on your optioned selected and hence the specific chip needed. Good luck.

Finally, mine is built too and being shipped to meet the 9/27 - 10/3 ETA….hopefully nothing else changes. Now comes the trade in process of my 2018 F150!

Which edition do you have on order?

Which edition do you have on order?

Lariat with the standard range battery. I have a high speed charging station at my office so I didn’t go for the ER.

Got it. I have a platinum which I understand may need additional chips and from what I see in the forums is taking longer. Thanks for the quick reply.

I am in the same situation, my dealer is supposed to give me a trade in value on my 2018 Lariat this week.

I ordered a Lariat with extended battery.

You can get an offer on line from Carnax and Carvana. Both of my vehicle offers were within $500 so you know the value going in.

That’s what we did on our Tacoma- getting quotes in advance- and the dealer offer was slightly higher plus it reduced our tax burden in NY you pay the hefty sales tax on the balance after trade in.

Unfortunately in RI all trucks are consider commercial vehicles and the trade in value isn’t off set in the sales tax.

Just got word from my dealer that my Lariat ER Max Tow is built but is on chip hold. Was hoping we had gotten past all that, but I guess not. Dealer had deleted the security package, heated steering, and on board scales when I ordered hoping to avoid this issue….sigh….

Note, dealer is not deleting those features; Ford is doing that to everyone due to chips.
