Looks like Mid April or longer before production ramps back up.

My vin is very close to yours. Originally scheduled for a 3/23 build. The Ford tracking site still says it’s “In Order Processing.“

Call or email your dealer. They have access to a web site we can't see.
The public web site says the same for me."In Order Processing"

I texted my dealer rep and asked about the plant start up time frame. His reply is encouraging:

“Possibly April 7-10. Your truck has a VIN number. My resources tells me yours has already been built. ETA 2nd week of April here at the dealership barring any shipping delays. Hang in there!”

I just saw a post on the blue oval forums saying they were delaying the restart of the plants they were intending to restart in early April (which didn't include MAP). Sounds like everything will be closed thru April at least at this point.

They gave no new dates for reopening. Definitely not April 7-10.

Sorry....

Yup. I just got an update too. My truck has not been built and probably won’t be until May sometime.

I placed my order on March 11th. My dealer told me this week that if the plant reopens in early May - mine will be built the week of May 11th. Anyone heard of any new rebates?
