I know there have been a few threads on the same. But this changes as time goes on. I’m wondering if the shortages have affected ST builds.
My ST order was submitted by Chapman on 11/20. No VIN or production date yet. But I’ve heard it takes about 2 weeks for a vin and build date. That sound about right?
When you guys do get production dates, how far out are they usually? I’ve heard from 2 to 4 months. Sound right?

Gonna be a crap shoot to see if the Bronco gets here before the ST. But it’s looking like the ST will probably get here first.

on order:
Carb Gray AWD ST. Street package. No tech

I placed an order on Nov 4th , I have only received my order # and nothing else. My dealer said he put me in as X-Retail instead of dealer order. Not sure if that means anything. This is my 1st time ordering a vehicle so this is all new to me

Coastal ford in Canada. My buddy is the sales manager so he upped the priority to be built quicker, or at least that's what he told me.
Nice. Sounds like you may have lucked out

I am hoping to put in an order tomorrow. Does anyone know if deleting the auto start/stop (option 52x I think) is helping cut down the lead times still?

Wild. My exact build, I put in order October 18th and haven't heard anything.
I would call the delearship and speak to the sales person you used or a sales manager and ask for a update. If they didn't put in your email address in with the order you will not receive any updates or progress throughout the process. Let us know what you find out.
