I hope it means something is happening? Mine has changed to today's date sometime in the last few hours


My Window Sticker updated yesterday, still shows in production (since 03/01/2019, blend date 03/08/2019), but maybe something is happening? My delivery date has moved a couple times, but it is showing 04/07/2019 as of today. Could it be moving and the tracker not updating? My VIN is
1FTER4FH9KLA24315.
I haven't figured out what triggers a new date at the bottom of the window sticker - mine updated again today - but I can't see anything on the sticker that has changed, and my truck is currently on a train.

I do believe that it will show as in production until a shipper picks it up from the plant. I believe mine didn't change to "in transit" until after the shipper picked it up and took it to the rail yard in Woodhaven, where it sat for almost a week.

Who knows, I believe this is the 5th time the Window Sticker has updated, but the only change in all of them is the date on the bottom. I thought I had seen somewhere someone posted that the tracker had not updated, but their truck was delivered? One can only hope, but I am guessing the latest estimated delivery date of 04/07/2019 is probably not possible at this point. My tracker has not gotten to as low as 7 days to delivery before it was adjusted, so I thought there may be a chance. My dealer has not been able to provide any information on the hold-up. I really regret falling for the ROVP BS, as I would of had a truck already, as I would have just picked one off a lot. Would have saved myself from all the disappointment. The ROVP process is what convinced me to pre-order, very deceptive.

I just checked my sticker and it has changed again. I think this is the 4th time. Now it has today’s date. Hopefully it will be on a truck or train or boat or plane tomorrow.

I'm in Jersey and mine came in to a train yard south of Philly and was trucked to Flemington, NJ. Although the delivery date was a moving target the last week on the tracker it actually arrived 4 days early. Your almost there and it is worth it!
I also am in newjersey and mine also was shipped to flemington. I recieved mine about 3 weeks ago. Did you get it at ditshman ford?

I just got back from vacation and checked the tracker. Mine said it was delivered March 28th. Was supposed to be delivered April 7th. I will call my dealer tomorrow to see if it's really there. I ordered November 14th.

It would be nice if someone that works for Ford would explain, but I suspect that it would be corporate secrets. If someone admitted that sometimes there are problems and vehicles need to be redone or the robots dont work right and the whole line is shut down for repairs or adjustments. Or suppliers have problems, or shippers cant keep up because of lack of cars, or a flood in the midwest. So, if you knew the real story then you would not buy a first run vehicle. Why did I, cause I can fix it or get it fixed and I too was caught up in the craze. LOL
I worked in an assembly plant for 28 years. Retired now. Any of those things can happen. It is very unusual for an entire plant to be down. The final assembly line is obviously the most critical to trucks going out the door. A breakdown there is defcon 1, especially in a plant that can sell every vehicle they can build. Most robots are in body and paint and there is some ability to recover before the final line is starved. In today's world supplier problems are a real thing. Henry Fords methods of iron ore in one end and cars out the other is a thing of the past. Rarely does an entire vehicle need to be rebuilt but some do go to a repair area at the end of the line. This is my second first run vehicle. Actually there can be some advantages to a "job one" vehicle. Assembly plants are so well monitored that quality is usually very good right from the start.

Thanks for the update, even though the news isn't what I wanted to hear. I found one a little over 100 miles away that is just what I built, but seeing as I would give up on my preorder bonus and my private cash offer expires tomorrow, I'll probably just end up waiting on my lemon. Really wishing I hadn't sold my F150 as I need a tow vehicle for my toys.

I believe the date at the very bottom of the sticker is just a date stamp of when the sticker was downloaded to your phone or computer.

I do not believe this is the case? I can clear my browsing history and it will still come up with the same date, which is not today. Just to double check, I logged into an old computer I have and fired up the browser and went to the tracker site and entered my VIN, pulled up my window sticker and it also shows the same date at the bottom, which is not today. Between my phone and my most used computer, and my computer at work, the window sticker has always been the same date for a given time. I am guessing I checked it everyday for the last month.....multiple times.

I agree with you MotoWojo. Sadly, I am guilty of checking it multiple times a day as well. I does not reflect the day I download the page.
