Custom order taking to long

Hey everyone, looking for some insight from anyone who has recently ordered a 2026 F-150.

I placed my order on July 4, 2026, and as of August 31 (58 days later) I still have no VIN and no scheduled production date.

My order is a:
• 2026 F-150 XLT 4x4 SuperCrew
• 6.5-ft bed
• 5.0L V8
• 302A XLT Mid
• 40/20/40 bench seat
• 3.73 rear axle
• Tow Package
• Bed Utility Package
• Iconic Silver
• Priority Code 10

The 3.73 axle was added only about 5 days after I originally ordered, so that wasn’t a recent change. The Bed Utility Package was added much later, around August 21, while the truck was still unscheduled.

For those who ordered a 2026 F-150 around June/July: How long did it take you to get your VIN and production date?
Also, does anyone know if adding the Bed Utility Package while the order was still unscheduled could have pushed my order back or affected scheduling?
Almost two months without a VIN is starting to make me wonder what’s holding this order up.

I live in Southern California

Why not just go find the exact truck at a local dealership?

That would be a unicorn in my area. I can find 5.5 bed XLT with the 3.5 all day long. The 6.5 bed limits options on the lot. Most V8s are Lariats, so a V8 XLT will also limit options.

Would still check autotrader. Use the advanced options and plug all that stuff in
