Same. Hundreds under BCE. Nothing under PCM.
Build date 08/25. Maybe they just meant they put the paint and doors on.
Same here. I know my truck was built, but still at plant.

I also checked a VIN I was tracking from a nearby dealer. It has been delivered to its customer and removed from their website. It also has hundreds under BCE. Nothing under PCM. Not sure if this can tell us anything. Guess it still can indicate whether your truck has been built, but cannot tell the reason why the truck is stuck at the plant.

Not sure if anybody tried this. I added my VIN to the FordPass app right after I got it from my dealer.
It was showing nothing in the app. After the the online tracking “In Production” date, FordPass showed up a button “activate vehicle”.
A few days later, my truck’s picture showed up in the FordPass app and I “can” activate it. Obviously, I cannot activate it, but it tells me that the truck has built and linked to Ford’s system.

I’ve done this as well a week or two ago.

Headlights flashing. No key or anything recognized! Sitting at the dealership! Maybe key fob shorted the remote start module? Any thoughts would be appreciated, Thank you.

Just sharing information I have heard so take it for what it's worth... from what I understand if you are still "unscheduled-clean" at this point it will be a 2022 and need to be reordered as such. I have a June 15th order in the same spot as you. I have my heart set on Lead Foot so I have a deposit on an "alleged" inbound dealer order and am still holding out help for my June order. Needless to say the whole process has been a cluster for me and many others.
This is not necessarily true. I believed exactly this until last week when I suddenly received a Nov 15 build week on my order from June. I was holding out on placing a ‘22 order until Raptors balanced out and was hoping to have priority from an unfilled ‘21 order. Unfortunately now I can’t place an order for a ‘22 37 package as I was hoping for when I thought my order wouldn’t get picked up.

In short if they aren’t officially balanced out there’s still hope.

When was everyone’s window sticker updated last? Mine was last updated on 10/17, that is only the second update since built. Still no shipping assignment according to the sticker.

I’ve checked several trucks that already had assignments before they were built? Absolutely none of this makes sense

I guess this shows nobody, including Ford, knows what’s going on. I have read and heard numerous times that they were done scheduling 2021 weeks ago. Surprising to me they are still scheduling new builds with so many stuck in production. I guess their theory is build them and let them sit until they get chips in.
