2022 Lightnings "Scheduled for Production"

[TaxmanHog]

I came across this image from a member of another forum which indicates his 1/26/2022 order has moved to the "Scheduled for Production" stage, note the green check mark over "Place Order".

I have an order date of 1/10 but haven’t been scheduled for production.
Might be because mine is a Lariat?

Same for me.

I have some feedback from a production insider on another forum who thinks this is not accurate.
Supposedly only one mannequin per dealer is currently scheduled as they gear up to produce those first.
That said, I wonder if this is actually a dealer model and they can track them via the retail tracking system?

As i understood it wave 1 was for all dealers to order ONE. It could be for them or for a customer. I’m that one at my dealer.

I’ll get mine before the they get theirs. (It was the same way with the Mach-E I got mine way before they got their own.)

That aside, it says on Ford.com that production can vary depending on your location and version.

Also my experience with the information in the online order system (from the Mach-E order) is that it should all be taken with a grain of salt. It’s not very accurate.

That’s interesting. My order date was 01/06 with a white lariat, but NOT scheduled for production. Perhaps xlt needs different components all available.. *** update *** mine now has a production date of 04/18.

I have a feeling that they produce the different versions in batches… and I don’t mind that they get a “practice run” with the XLTs

Did you orders show “in progress” in the “Place Order” step until you got a production date? It has me a little worried like as if there is something the dealer hasn’t finalized on their end that’s delaying getting a production date.

**Update**
I am scheduled for production week of 6/13/22. No action was done on my part with ford, so I guess I had nothing to worry about.

April 21. Fingers crossed

Here’s what mine looks like, hopefully this helps with your question.

Unfortunately in Canada we don't have access to that system you guys have. I would load my Ford Account but it only says I have a reservation. Not that it's ordered or anything.
I work at Ford and I can track my order through the Dealer system.

Congrats to you too! Excited and relieved....no more sitting in front of my computer for hours anymore. I'll just be marking off the calendar days now. Hope to hear other scheduling going on now. GLTA

Congratulations to those lucky few - this truck is going to be amazing. Actually saw someone with a production date for a PRO. The unicorn does exist!!

My order status changed today from “reservation” to “place order (ready).
When I hit the configure button the Pro option and the next higher option were sold out so I just extended my reservation. Disappointing but at least this is progress for me. I hadn’t heard anything until today. I reserved on 5/23/2021. I hope they make some lower trims later this year.

I saw a text an hour earlier saying “Ford Motor Company:
Order yours now! Here’s your chance to order the 2022 F-150 LightningTM Truck. Click here to join the revolution:”
I thought it was spam

You posted that you ordered Iconic Silver Metallic and that is the color i want but the 2022 color chart doesn't say it is Metallic it only say Iconic Silver so do you know if we can get it in Metallic

 

[frunk]

I just looked up the Ford color code for the Iconic Silver JS and it said it was Iconic Silver Metallic so they just left off Metallic on the color chart.
