How long will it take from the time an order is placed for a 2021 Tremor until it is delivered to the dealership? Order was placed 3/9/2021.

 

???

Welcome to the forum

Ford should be able to give you a window, or should have already, when you placed the order

 

All the dealer advised was maybe May or later..................

 

I would think that would be optimistic
Factories build "stock" models at the same time, so regular cab 2WDs would all be built at one time and if there was a Custom Regular cab 2wd it would be run at the end of that run
Then they would change to regular cab 4x4, different frame, and run those thru
Then extended cab 2wd, longer frame
Then crew cab, even longer frame
ECT.................

So when you order anything Custom it won't be built until the end of run on that base models platform
2021 Tremor is a "stock" package so will have its own run, which is good, but..........it may not be a high order run, not enough ordered, YET, so they wait until the end of 2021 production runs to build them, which is end of May and beginning of June, Mid June is the start of 2022 model year production usually

There is also the issue of Covid shut downs in the electronics end of things
Ford may have all the hard parts to assemble vehicles but the electronic parts may be on back order because of supply chain issues
If a circuit board needs a specific chip and that chip was not available for 3 or 4 months then production of that circuit board would be a 3 or 4 month back order, its a domino effect down the line
And there are alot of electronics on these new Rangers, and any vehicle really, lol
And Ford is very specific on the parts used in finished products, so substitutes allowed, period

Enough doom and gloom, maybe they are building it right now because they are missing parts for other Ranger models, lol

 

Thanks so much for the information! If there would continue to be delay and delay, I'm a guessin' that they will start the 2022 production before my order is built........

 

I placed my Tremor order on February 25th. The dealership told me 6-12 weeks. I followed up with them a few weeks later to see if they had a better timeline. They gave me a specific build day of my Ranger for April 26th. That's 2 months time. They said the dealership should have my truck in "early May".

Of course, I am anxiously waiting to see if these factory closures will delay the truck. So far, I haven't received any notification that there will be a delay in my Tremor.

 

Thank you for the information. It is somewhat encouraging............Since I place my order about 2 week later than you, maybe the timeline will hold for me. Thanks again!

 

Ford website now saying that my delivery date is June 3rd. You can check the status here if you have the VIN# for the truck. https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking#/status It still doesn't show my truck as "in production" though and I know it is. I'm hoping that when that updates, the date will move up a bit.

 

Good program on 60 Minutes last night about "chips", semiconductors

Seems all the Vehicle "chips" can only be made in Asia, Taiwan usually, Intel can't make them, Intel is the ONLY US "chip" maker now
Cars makers(including Ford) expected a big slump in sales because of Covid so cancelled orders for these
When car/truck sales came back up quickly, it created about a 6 month backorder at that time which has been brought down to 2 months now

Interesting segment, I didn't realize the US was so far behind on "making chips", they don't have the technology or equipment to make the smaller "chips" needed for cell phones and other size sensitive components

 

My unit ordered in early March now states delivery estimated.....end of July.................UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

its not just you, new vehicles are hard to come by right now

 

Yes, mine went from "early May" which was verbal from the dealership, to June 3rd several weeks later on the website. The website updated yesterday to June 10th. Ordered on February 24th.

 

mine took 3 months

 

ordered on aug 3, now I'm told its not coming, have to order a 22,yahoo, anyone know much about the 22 ? can't find much on the web

 

Ordered my xlt Fx4 ranger 8/10/2. Got the VIN at the end of September. Checked the tracer last week and it is now in production and has the window sticker. Has anyone had trouble trying to sign in on the tracker website? Sometime I put all the info in and it doesn’t go to the tracker it just keeps going back to me having to put in my info over and over.

 

Wow, thats crazy. I know mine (not a custom order as this one had exactly what I wanted) was built on 9.9.2021 and was delivered to the dealership on 10.3.2021.

 

more uncle Joe Biden mess

 

Mine took 3 months. What dealer did you order from.

 

I ordered my 22 Lariat Tremor on November 17th. The dealership gave me an order number and VIN # to verify order status. I called Ford Customer Service and they gave me a January 17th Production date.
