Mostly been posting over on the f150gen14 forums lately, but thought I'd share my good news. My 2021 F-150 HDPP has now been built and in transit, set for an Apr/26 delivery. The fancy new Ford VIN/Payload site confirms my yellow sticker will be 2536 lbs, about 30lbs over what I thought based on the order guide. We'll see if that holds true.
Might be a bit tight to do the break in and get it all setup for my first trip in May. It will be painful to use the old truck, but that's life.

Congrats! You are lucky as Ford just announced a two week shutdown and reduced over time for the F150 plant(s).

Yes lucky indeed, although I did purposefully order it with minimal options. Anything that can be added later (bed liner, running boards etc.) I will do after it arrives. I've heard stories that trucks are built and sitting there awaiting some trivial option or accessory.

Well computer chips are hardly what I would describe as some trivial option, but ok we'll go with that!

Computer chips are definitely causing a major issue. However, there have been shortages of certain accessories. I know GM stopped allowing orders with certain running boards, certain floor mats, etc.
When I ordered my GMC in November, they were not going to build until March if I stayed with color matching wheel openings. That is why I have black.

While chips for Sat-Nav are a problem, I have also heard things like wheel well liners, work-surface and running boards are causing delays.

My '18 says 1907 on the Yellow Sticker and 1907 on the Ford Fleet Live VIN Specific Calculator so I suspect it's likely correct.
