The general manger at my dealer told me that many vehicles ordered as 2021 model year will end up being built as 2022's. He said they have many vehicles ordered that have been delayed, some that are showing as built, but not shipped........

Your dealer is incorrect. Those vehicles that are currently on order and have had VIN's issued will be 21' model year vehicles based on the VIN number. I know this as I'm sitting in this situation as I type this. Ordered 12/02/20, just got the VIN a little more than a month ago, truck not even scheduled to be built yet. If I see it before August, I'll be surprised. Sadly, it'll be a year old and the 22's will be out by the time I get it; and with the shortage of vehicles, I highly doubt I'll see one dime of discount.

I ordered mine in February and got it in April. You ordered your truck on 12/02/20 and yours is not built yet? Maybe you shouldn't put much stock in what your dealer says.

Your truck may be built and stored until the chip comes in.

It's waiting for a chip alright, and everything else....... It has NOT been built. I can see that via my order number and VIN through the Ford Tracking site. I have also verified with a third party ford dealer and my dealer has actually sent me the screen shots of there order block and tracking info. The Order was placed with Ford on 12/02 and it has not moved to production as of today (05/11/21). The Dealer website does differ from the consumer site and atleast provides a estimated production however that hasn't meant much as I've seen that changed by more than a month 2 separate times already. As of last month, it had an estimated production for the week May 17th. I haven't checked with my dealer in a few weeks but fully expect that isn't happening.
