[Production Week Scheduling Information]

 

The Vehicle Visibility reporting system will show the vehicle "Sent to Plant" which is the start of the production process which is much longer than just the assembly process. The reports will show the various stages of production over a period of about a week until it's reported "Produced". Once it's released for shipment the average transit time is 14 days but the Flat Rock Assembly Plant is notorious for shipping problems and delays. I've had Mustangs get released and shipped immediately and other that sat at the plant for as long as 2 months. As such, don't try to micro manage your order placement trying to have the vehicle arrive at the dealership within a specific time frame!

Ok got it. Thanks for the link, lots of info on the process.

[Production Week Scheduling Information]

 

Yes but also depending on whether your Dealer has Mustang allocation for scheduling next Thursday and your Dealer has no other unscheduled retail Mustang orders ahead of yours.

 

Hey thanks!. So best case scenario with allocation available, no parts on back order etc from order being started Oct 8th, it would be expected to arrive at the dealer about 8 weeks later? Average is 10 weeks? Worse case 15-20 weeks? Just trying to get a handle on when I want to put the order in so I get close to a specific month or later for delivery.
