I ordered the end of October 2020, had a build date of mid-January. My truck arrived at the dealer (Atlanta area) last Wednesday 1/20. It was built and delivered ahead of schedule, so don't panic yet

If you have a VIN, it should be on the tracking website - UNLESS it is a dealer order I believe. Do you know if it was a dealer order? Dealer orders can only be tracked by the dealer on the internal tracking system.

I ordered mine on Sept. 01, 2020, and it arrived on Dec. 06, 2020. It was a long wait for sure.

The tracking site won't show your build date. It will only show it going thru the steps. About a week or so before your build date your window sticker will appear and a couple of days after your build date it will change to "built" and then "shipped". The ETA on the tracking site is usually rather pessimistic and most people seem to have gotten theirs before the date the tracking site shows.

It is a long wait, but it will be worth it once you get it.

Here is a snippet of the complete status of my truck back in 2019 (I was fortunate to get a screen shot of this from a Ford insider when I finally got my truck). I ordered it on 12/23, it was entered into/accepted in the system on 12/26:

You will see large gaps - those are when nothing is happening - it is basically just waiting to be built. When you get closer to your build date, you will see things changing on the status site.

The "scheduled to week" is when the VIN was assigned and the "scheduled to date" was when I got my actual build date. "Sent to plant" was about the date my window sticker appeared online and the rest are pretty self explanatory. It took 20 days from the time it was actually shipped until I got it. Yours should come faster since you are closer to the plant.

Good luck and make sure you post a photo when you get it!

Seems like a lot of variables. Dealer placed my order at end-Nov-20, got window sticker about two weeks back, but no other dates until last Friday, when Scheduled for Prod was updated. Then this morning, the truck shows as built on 31-Jan and is currently in Shipped - estimate is now 12-28 days. My sales rep has been really good the whole time and gave me lots of heads up that my build would take longer than most (SCabs, as a much smaller proportion of sales, are given a line (the line?) less often).
