[Scheduling Stopped]

I know, it’s just crazy. I don’t know why silverados are held up though. My local dealership just got 4 HDs in on a stock order. I don’t know how GM handles their ordering compared to ford. 
 

I know it’s going to be a waiting game. I just wish when my dealer called the rep he had an actual answer for what the hold up is. I understand, chip shortages and commodity shortages, but like the guy commented on here earlier, he said trucks that were scheduled are delayed now. But from what the Rep said and what I’ve read on here, is when you go into previewing, it is basically looking to make sure they have the parts to build the truck. Then once they confirm, you get scheduled. So how are trucks that are scheduled, being held up for parts shortages when that was supposed to have been checked prior to scheduling?! 
 

We are military and getting ready to move and the plan was to move into a 5th wheel due to the next year moving base to base for training. But the problem is, I ordered this truck took off even the 5th wheel package (which is most important in this plan haha) and we still can’t get scheduled. It’s more of an annoyance that Ford can’t look at my order or my dealership and say “this is why”. They just blanket statement a chip shortage. But other trucks are being built. Trucks ordered after me are showing up. You see it all over this forum page. The frustration is real. 

I watched trucks ordered after mine getting built also. The problem is parts shortages changing day by day. If Ford is expecting a shipment of headlamps on a certain date and the manufacturer ends up delaying the order, well, then trucks using that headlamp don’t get built on time. I’ve chatted with folks working at Ford and they tell me wiper motors to door modules, even coat hooks don’t show up as  planned and it delays builds. If Ford could tell you what’s holding you up, another part could be an issue a day later. No way Ford could keep things moving if everyone tried to change orders to schedule quicker, it would be a nightmare for them.

 

Anyone who absolutely needs a truck within a certain time frame would be better off buying off a dealer’s lot until things improve.

I don’t know why you can’t understand that, that’s a problem. Why is GM and Ram pushing trucks out?

Nope, GM is in just as bad shape with production issues. No Silverados being produced for the next two weeks.

Be prepared to wait it out. My F150 was just built, 10 weeks later than the original scheduled build date. It’s going to be over 6 months since I placed my order to delivery. There are folks out there with orders older than mine still waiting!

 

Not really much you can do, all vehicle manufacturing is in chaos right now.

 

 

 

[Anyone else get scheduled for production the week of 5/2/22?]

Dealer informed me this morning that my order for my 2022 Lariat 502A Powerboost had been scheduled last night for production on 5/5/22. I thought they were pulling orders for scheduling for the week of 4/18/22 this week? Placed my order on 12/23/21 so took about 3 months to be scheduled and I had no options that were linked to commodity constraints. 

Congrats, but not unusual. I ordered a 502a on 10/08 and it was just built. So I’m looking at just over 6 months until delivery.

 

Parts constraints change on a daily basis. It will get built, just takes a little time.

The good news just keeps coming! ?

It’s going to be a few years until chip production is back to normal, not to mention production in general.

I got a confirmation of my order. NO idea on when production is to start. Its been 8 days now.

8 days?? I’m not looking to rain on your parade, but be prepared for a bit of a wait. 

 

My 22 F150 was ordered (confirmed) 10/8/21, I didn’t receive a VIN until 11/19/21, my build week was pushed out 4 times, and it was finally built this week. Just over 5 months.

 

I’m not saying you’ll have to wait that long, but Ford is struggling with vendors delivering parts on time and they are behind on orders. Some vehicle lines haven’t been scheduled for weeks. The only thing you can do is wait and have patience. Ford will build your vehicle as soon as they can.

How much impact will the slowdown have on already scheduled orders? Should I expect to be rescheduled several times?

Well, speaking from experience, it may happen. My F150 was ordered on 10/8, and my first build week was 1/17, and it was changed 3 times since. My last build week was 2/7, and KCAP shut down that week, so I’m onto another week. lol 
 

The way things are now with chips, the workforce, parts shortages, etc. you just have to be patient and wait it out. There’s really nothing you can do. Ford wants to sell you a vehicle, but it’s just kind of chaotic for all manufacturers right now.

[Is there a benefit to being priority 10 vs 19?]

So a big thank you to all the folks here that take the time to provide all the info here to help everyone.

 

I’m new to the Ford ordering process coming from GM, and trying to learn all I can, but I’m not quite clear on the priority levels and unscheduled vs scheduled.

 

I’ve searched here and see folks getting bumped to higher priorities to GET scheduled, but I can’t seem to find the answer for scheduled orders. 

 

I have a 2022 F-150 ordered since October- I received a VIN in November and a scheduled build week in January. Since then, my build week has been bumped twice, but on the last order update I received, I actually have a build day listed now, but I noticed my priority changed from 10 to 2. Does that mean that a Ford rep bumped it and my date should hold now barring any component issues? It’s a KC build if that matters in any way. 

 

 

[Hello From PA!]

Hello, new member here from Northeast PA. Decided to join the Ford family and ordered a ‘22 F150. I’m looking to learn all I can about Ford as the last few I’ve owned were Chevys. This forum has provided some great info so far, lots of folks here sharing their knowledge!
