Off microchip hold!!! Onto shipping hold...

[BadWRP]

I saw video on youtube a code orange 22 still had led license plate lights and multiple people of the lighting or exterior forum also confirm that too. TBH…thats a easy fix anyways if they didn’t include it.

Thanks man. One more thing i wont need to change

Hey y'all,

So I am ecstatic, my MY21 LFG 35 raptor fully loaded minus sunroof, 37s, and carbon fiber finally got off the microchip hold on 11/27/2021 and is now sitting on the ramp waiting to be loaded onto a rail transit and sent down to Woodhouse Ford in NE. Seems like those posts on movement at Dearborn are true and Ford could be attempting to get these trucks out before the end of the year (since the factory closes in a few weeks for 2 weeks or so).

The sad part now is that I have to wait for it to actually get to my dealer and Ford says I should anticipate a delivery date of 01/24/2022. I wish it could get here quicker (primarily because I actually have to fly out to the dealer to pick it up and drive home) but i know when it does arrive ill probably forget all about the angst caused by the wait. Im still holding out some hope that it gets there quicker but given the shortage on CDL drivers and shipping logistics, I don't anticipate it happening.

Anyway, just wanted to share this to let others know what is going on. I figure that Ford is really trying to get these out before EOY so they can report the sales on their balance sheets but who knows. All i know is in a few weeks ill be as happy as can be.

Here is my order breakdown for anyone interested (feel free to share yours too!):
Ordered: 07/12/2021
In production: 10/23/2021
Built (microchip hold): 10/27/2021
Fully built: 11/27/2021
Shipped: TBD
Delivered: TBD (ETA 01/24/2022)

Crossing my fingers I get it sooner!

Just to update anyone who might be interested, the truck finally shipped! I doubt that the thing ever actually got off microchip hold until closer to the ship date.

Tracker says built/shipped 01/11/2022. Eta is now 02/14/2022.

I am actually a little happier I got a 21 over a 22 since I’ll get all those cool accessory lights/climate control digits and stuff, not that it matters that much. Plus I still do not know why anyone would get a moonroof on this truck (will be forced for my build on the 22) but that’s just me lol.
