Weird - another member ordered his 501a Tremor on 1/17. His build week is next week. I ordered my 501a Tremor on 1/19. My build week is 4/17. Not sure what to tell.

Did you EVER get a build date? And then it disappeared? I am just asking because that happened during my ordering process.

Here is my timeline for info / historical reference (Azure Tremor Lariat 501A).

1/16/23 - Ordered through local dealership
1/17/23 - Order confirmed from Ford (email)
1/19/23 - Scheduled for production from Ford (email) - week of 3/13/23
1/27/23 - Production date disappeared (checked online)
2/04/23 - Ford online chat said no hold up's or delays in the build
2/10/23 - Scheduled for production from Ford (checked online) - 3/16/23
2/22/23 - Scheduled for production from Ford (checked online) - 3/14/23
3/06/23 - In production from Ford (checked online)
3/07/23 - Window sticker from Ford (checked online) - Blend date of 3/13/23

I've never received a build date.

1/26/23 - Ordered through local dealership
1/26/23 - Order confirmed from Ford (email)

Its been silence since.
The dealership called me a few days ago and confirmed my order was "clean" (whatever that means) but there is no build date.

Its my understanding that I cannot track the order without a VIN which is assigned when a build date is received so I'm not sure where to go from here.

I believe "clean" just means it is ready and available for scheduling. You should get a "Scheduled to week" when the VIN is assigned and then a bit closer to production you will get a "Scheduled to day". Here is s snippet of my status listing from when mine was built back in 2019:

I got the VIN when it was "scheduled to week" about a month after the order was received.

Do you happen to know what the priority on your order was? Something seems weird....

According to my dealer its showing a priority 12. Not sure where that falls on the scale but of course they are telling me its the highest. They did verify today that the order is still showing Unscheduled-Clean.

I read some others were getting a "re-confirmation" every 45 days which will be the 14th for this order so I guess I will wait until then.

I'm just frustrated because there is a used one with my exact specs and 5k miles at a dealership near me TODAY. Patience is a virtue I reckon.

I could be wrong, but I thought most customer orders went in with a priority 10 - I thought that was considered "normal", but maybe I'm mis-remembering things. Anyone know if my recollection is correct? If so, the dealer could change it to a 10 and it would probably get scheduled sooner.

I'm frustrated too because there was a new one which meets my specs at an out-of-state dealership for a few months with 3k below MSRP, but it was sold this week. If I were not waiting for my order, I would have bought that one.

Yeah, the priority code could be in play here...

10 is where you want to be. I am not sure how much "difference" there really is between 10 and 12, but I would go back to the dealership with your concerns (especially with them ending production), and see if they will switch it to 10. Mine was 10.

10 was actually "hard to get" sometimes pre-COVID, dealers didn't really like using it (and Ford didn't like it either). Once things started getting backed up, a lot of dealers started putting 10 on all of their "special orders" to get orders through the system. I have heard rumblings that Ford hasn't liked this... and maybe that has scared off some dealerships.

I always feel bad posting these but I had to share. Ordered a 500a tremor back on November 10th, came in 3/6 and have just absolutely Been loving it! So far it has the tow hooks, blacked out emblems, 1.5” wheel spacers (those bumper extenders are a pain in the butt- if I did it over I would just cut them out and not do the high clearance extensions), Rok Blokz xl mug flaps, and roll up tonneau cover. I have an appointment for a 1.5” level- it was just more involved than I wanted to do with a new truck. But good luck to everyone with orders still! It’s well worth the wait.

Nice! I am one of those who are waiting for the order. Have you installed brake controller?
