Can you guys please consider a FIFO reservation to order system? Some of us have been waiting a very long time. Thanks!

Your order date can't be correct. If it is, Ford needs to explain how people that ordered months before your "06/14/2022" are still waiting!

It's definitely correct. Not sure if it matters but my reservation date is 05/19/2021.

First EV, first Ford and first truck for me so really exciting times!

This makes much more sense. I think those of us who have not gone through the order process often think of our "reservation" as a "pre order". simply because thats often what they are referred to. Enjoy your truck!

Not confused, our order date is 02/13/2022, four months before the 06/14/2022 order date. Ford's algorithm for order fulfillment is AFU!!

EV OLVE · 2022-09-17T12:28:06-0400

Ford builds their vehicles in batches, power train, trim, color and options all play a role in when the truck gets built, if you found the magic combination, you get your build date sooner.

Right? I ordered on 2/4/22….it just shipped on 9/12/22, delivery expected 10/1-10/7/22. It’s not right that someone that ordered 4 months after me AND ordered the EXACT same truck as me will probably receive it the same time as me. It’s infuriating!

My truck has been sitting in an Atlanta parking lot for a month. If it's not one thing, it's another.

Mine was built on the same day (02 September) but still shows "In Production"...hopefully soon!

Perhaps our trucks are in the same convoy! I have the exact same configuration and am also in California and have estimated delivery of 10/5-10/11. I am getting excited!!

Just got another email update this morning. Subject: Your F-150® LightningTM just rolled off the assembly line

Didn't realize that these things get shipped before rolling off the assembly line. 😂

AMB looks so slick!

Looks familiar....... (just got the same e-mail). There are subtle differences in the pictures - good to know they aren't sending out stock photos!
