31 / 78 TRUCKS FOUND TODAY (2/17/21)

[KnightMare]

After reviewing the tracker again, I continue to see that a large number of January builds are still waiting on "something." Many of us think the main culprit is a chip. Yet it seems they have built a large number and variety of trucks since January that have received window stickers and have shipped - indicating all of those sent out since January had all needed parts (chips, etc, etc.) What I don't get is how @swankyzaphod was built on 01/06/21 and is still sitting around, and many trucks have shipped that were built well past his. I cannot believe that, for all these trucks that have shipped lately, there was not or were not the parts to get his done and out the door - and then the next one sitting around, and so on. I sure hope the trucks that are just sitting don't get mixed up in the potential part shortage anticipated for March. Just my two cents.

Edit: @KnightMare are there any of your insiders at all that can help us better understand the scenario above?

I've been talking to Swank & others in the shadows about their trucks.
But if your dealer tell you that your truck is stuck in JB, your stuck in a vendor lot waiting on the chip. If you stuck in another status, your waiting on repairs like mine is.

There is definitely something different that you can see in the data. I have been digging through it trying to look for patterns to know when I should be concerned with my own build. 50% of trucks on several of those build days from 1/25-2/1 are sitting with no sticker. If you compare that to the last couple of weeks of production, a majority get a window sticker in 2ish days, and then they complete 5-10 per day until the numbers diminish to just a few problem children.

It seems like 2 days is an all smooth checkout. Then they work through fixes at some capacity pretty evenly divided across build dates from recent weeks. The older builds they seem to be hitting at a much slower rate like 1:5 compared to later build dates.

There is either a very different work flow with the older ones (pulling off lot for install) vs newer (repairs on floor), or there were much more serious problems with old ones. Based on KnightMare's intel in chips it seems like they just have crappy priorities for those build trucks.

I think the trucks that are being checked out faster are the ones that dont have to go to a vendor. Like mine doesnt have bedliner , no spare mount, rockrails , no graphics. Mine is just a plain tr2 with tow mirrors . But i am not sure if that is really what is happening

Agreed. There is a bolus of sticker on day 2 post build and then a slight drop off and a really long tail to the right. The big drop off is after day 5-6. Past day 5 or 6 you’re probably getting something fixed even if you don’t know your status.

What is interesting about the late Jan builds is that there was always a low sticker rate. No big jump. I just wonder why they haven’t put chips in those units as the parts have come in vs all new trucks. I guess there was no rhyme or reason for build order, so why start now.

Mine is like KnightMare’s and is that post 5-6 day repairs side. I am 1 of 29 truck built on 2/11 w/o sticker out of 143 total built. Sure wish I knew what they found on it. And wonder if the fact it had problems is a bad sign. Or a good one because it has more eyes on it.

Taking delivery of it but I might order a 22 if I can get invoice pricing if they let affiliate pricing go thru. I was talking about my next video I'm coming out with is the info I have on the new TRX model coming this year

Great video today! Ford said Trombone exhaust. Thanks for keeping us informed.

Ram came with a hellcat pickup truck...
Ford responded with a trombone exhaust...

But is that trombone bolted on?

My truck received a window sticker and I was told that it was in KZT(with a delivery within two weeks), but today I got a message that it is now KZP “arrived at body vendor”. I thought it wouldn’t get a window sticker until it was clear of the vendors.

Hi everyone! Sorry for my ignorance, but how do you track and find status of your order? I got an email thanking me for my order of my TRX saying it should show up in March. It gave me this number. MN904849
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Anyone?

Zip tied. There is a bolt shortage right now

Just means the truck is going to ship from the vendor lot

Mine was built 1/26 or 27th. Still no window sticker. How can I find out what is going on ?

So in full transparency, I have some theories, and also feeling a little better about my truck. No thanks to Ram, but massive thanks to @KnightMare and my dealer and new sales rep. I ordered in early October and my original sales rep has already left, LOL.

1) The issue is probably something to do with either exterior or interior damage, I would not be surprised if it got lost in the shuffle due to so many trucks waiting for parts. I have been through a few corporate mergers, I would not be surprised if somehow it got lost in the system. It is obvious Cilantro needs an order tracking system.

2) My truck has actually moved status, possibly early next week as long as nothing else happens, or weather holds up I get a window sticker.

3) I also got a message from a brand rep, who sent a boiler plate email, but put a very odd statement that they will follow-up by March 4th. That maybe code that I could take delivery by March 4th which would be great, similar to @KnightMare I was hoping/expecting the truck before my birthday.

Really hoping it's smooth sailing for you soon! You've been waiting for a long time - best of luck!

Well that is good news. Hopefully all goes smoothly from here on out.
