Yes, on my bi-weekly trip across town, I strolled through the large Ford Dealership, that I bought my F-150 from, Slim-Pickens, 3 Bronco's and about 6 each; Explorer, Bronco Sport, Escape, a couple work/fleet trucks and 2 Mavricks.
F-Series (sales) fell to 45,000 in February, based on production, and dealer inventory, that will only get worse for March.
Weirdly a lot of in production trucks got an email bumping their production dates up a few weeks yesterday so I assume that Ford thinks it's getting parts soon.

Dealership I ordered from only has 9 trucks left from January to get scheduled so I should be moving here soon. They got zero allocation for Feb and 13 for March. They got 92 for January.
I have noticed that the Order Bank is opening up a little bballr, so the VIN# means a Pile in the scheme of things.
Next will be "Scheduled the Day of" but watch the "ETA" some still slip into a "Awaiting Chip Hold" but an ETA does mean they can complete the build and ship

Well.... Ford canceled a bunch of limited and platinum options so a lot of trucks will be built without a hold. Hold up is still a lack of trains at Dearborn (where mine will be built) as some are still waiting a month plus to even start shipping.
I think I'll be able to soundly beat the rating too as almost all of my driving is city surface streets under 50MPH.
Another awesome perk of the PowerBoost is that the start/stop system runs off the battery and does not kill the AC efficiency at all like most start/stop systems.
It seems that I have skipped the dreaded microchip hold at this point! One, if it's on hold it will still say "in production" and two, it's already got a shipment bill and is estimated to be at the dealership on the 22nd!!!
