As many times as you (any of us) most likely are going to look at the tracking page over the coming weeks. You should immediately notice when something on it has changed and updated! :LOL:
Actually I looked at it so many times that I wasn't even seeing it anymore, and it took me a minute to notice when something had changed. :rolleyes:

Ordered my Lariat on July 7th. The expected arrival was around mid September. My Salesman/Son :) Told me today that Ford is moving all retail orders to the front of the production line so it may arrive mid to late August. Who knows if its true but thought I'd share. :clap:

That would be a very fast turn around. less than 2 months from order to delivery? Even September would be fast.

I ordered my Ranger on April 9th. Got my VIN around the first week of June and the tracker only showed in processing with no estimated delivery date; my dealer told me at the time (early June) that is was scheduled for production in the first week of August but he couldn't tell me when they expected to receive it. Around July 1st the tracker updated with a delivery date of September 1st but still 'In Order Processing' - No change since then and I've checked back nearly everyday. I really don't see how they're going to build and deliver in 3 weeks so I'm not hopeful...it'll be what it is.

It will stay in processing until its built. The next change for you will be the window sticker shows up about a week before production

And since it takes a day to build, 3 weeks to deliver is not out of the question

It took exactly 21 days for my truck to be delivered to Oregon. So 3 weeks to Houston seems reasonable to me. If you really want to know, once it changes to "In Production" (7-10 days before your build date), you should be able to see your window sticker. You could be like many of us were, checking the tracker obsessively multiple times a day. :)

Mine sat for 10+ days out of that 21, so there is a lot of sitting and waiting during transportation. It was funny, once it got delivered to the dealer it was easier to wait an extra two days to pick it up. Somehow knowing it was here made the wait easier.

Yeah, the wait was easy until i knew it was built and sitting in a lot.....especially when i could literally drive there in 3 hours and pick it up

*UPDATE* - Checking daily (and apparently my dealer is as well) - he called yesterday to tell me to check the tracker again. Status updated to in production however, the link to the window sticker said it wasn't available yet. Checked back this morning and now I've got a window sticker... So, based on what you guys are saying, it still won't actually be built until next week sometime - and only one day to build? I figured it would've taken closer to 2 or 3...?

Check the blend date on your window sticker - that will be the day your truck is actually built. After that date, you should see the tracker change to awaiting shipping.

You can see the build date by finding the "Blend Date" on your window sticker - it will look something like 20190728. That will be the date your truck is scheduled to be assembled.
