Once the VIN number is issued, you can get a pretty good idea of which week the truck will be built by looking at the Ford scheduling plan issued by "Ice-Capades" on the Blue Oval forum site. The week the VIN is issued will allow you to get info on the approx. build week. Your dealer should be able to tell you too. Waiting for the VIN to be issued is the toughest part after the order has been submitted. lol With the electronic parts shortages these days, build dates are moving or just a long way out.
To give you a rough idea of timing, I ordered my 2021 on Oct 20. The VIN number was issued several days later since the dealer had an open allocation. (If they don't, it can take weeks for the VIN to be issued.) Build date was December 15th and it was at the dealer just before Christmas. Ford is switching over to the 2022 build now and parts are a bear to get so things may be pushed out a little more.
