How long after the tracking site showed delivered did anyone actually have the truck? Mine shows delivered on the 25th of January, but the dealer still doesn’t have it. They told me any day now 2 days ago. Just wondering if this was normal, or should I be concerned?
The tracker isn’t very accurate. Some other people got their truck after the date, and others before.

Just curious - it seems the "delivery date" on the tracker is pretty much useless. For those of you who have gotten that far, how long before your build week did you see a window sticker appear? I thought I remember hearing it was happening a couple weeks before the build, but it sounds like now it is only a few days before? I've got just over a month until my build date and am wondering when I should start checking for a window sticker. That seems to be a reasonably good indication you are getting ready for production.

It seems like Ford is dropping the ball on the tracker website. The way it is laid out raises expectations of current status tracking (like UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc), but the reality is that it seems to be updated infrequently and many times seems to be giving conflicting info.

If anyone else has any suggestions for someone who is very impatiently waiting for their truck to be built, I would appreciate it. Any nuggets of info help.
You won’t get the window sticker until it’s “in production” which can happen any number of days beforehand. I’ve seen 2 weeks before, 10 days, 6 days (me), and even less.

My truck updated with a new delivery day of 2/17 from 2/10 .. my truck is showing in production .. I figured it was optimistic that the truck would be built and delivered in the same week

My window sticker didn't show up on the tracker site until 2 days after the tracking site changed to "in production". It was originally scheduled for 1/28 build but on the window sticker I noticed the blend date of 1/31. Also at the bottom of the sticker is a date of 1/26/2019 and I don't know what that is referring to. Right now the tracking site hasn't updated to any changes w/ my blend date as yesterday.

Does that seem to be a pretty consistent pattern? That the window sticker won't appear until the status changes to in production? The only variable being how long before the build date it happens?

Sorry for all the questions - just trying to make sense of a chaotic system I guess.

Ford Ranger sales have become absolutely unhinged. They sold more than 1,200 in January. 300000 more online expected to order. Massive overtime starting next month.. So I'm not counting on thhere ttracker site to work correctly as my delivery date change from the Sunday to N/A..

My dealer was the one who told me that my truck had gone into production, before the tracker even changed. I think when you’re 10-14 days away from your build date you can bug your dealer for more info.

Mine got to delivery in 3 days then became N/A. production shows 1-25 blend date and 1-29 production date. Maybe it'll arrive next week. CMoore pay attention to the bottom of you sticker, if it says CONVOY then your truck gets trucked in unlike our west coast friends who get RAILl-ed in. Just my 2 cents.

Edit, DORA shows order date 1/31

When can I expect to get blend date and VIN# ?
First your order must be scheduled, as you can see no one who ordered in January has been scheduled yet. Once you are scheduled, most likely for sometime in April, you'll get your VIN. The blend date comes last, as that is only found on the window sticker, which won't be available until it's "in production".

That probably sounds like the best solution. They have access to info we don't. I will probably periodically check the tracker just to see if it changes, but will start asking my dealer 10-14 days from the build week to see if any changes occur.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Ordered mine 12/18, Scheduled date 03/11, Lariat Crew Cab 4x4, hope that the scheduled date might move up since overtime is being scheduled for February, fingers crossed
