AntiMatter Blue R ordered in Jul 2022 supposedly Produced week of January 27 2023. No further word. No responses from anyone. Dealer can't find anything out. Yet, others with build dates in subsequent months have received their R's.
Gritting my teeth as fundamentally there are no options, other than to say ----- it.

that most likely means your truck is waiting in line to have it's engine replaced. 900 trucks is the number floating around that needed engine replacement prior to sending off to dealer. Huge black eye for ford but not a single person there seems to care.

We have also been waiting since July 19th of last year- order is also clean and still order processing. Rep said there has been no activity since Feb on our order. There has to be somewhere to get an answer? dealership has no idea, one says you'll get it this year, another employee says you won't get it??
I'm in the same boat, still no vin and no build date. I'm getting real tired of waiting. Seeing the changes they are making to the 24s I really don't even want it at this point. Give me a 24 now that I've waited a year for a 23. Sucks that they pulled code orange for 24 too, that's what I ordered.

Engine replacements? For what reason?

I guess you haven’t been following the R’s production mess,
they had major engine leak issues so the production was on hold and the built units got upgraded seals etc and some needed whole engine replaced and the rumour is those engines will be marked with * in the VIN

I knew they had a crank seal problems and production was on hold. But, first I heard that entire engines are being replaced.
