    The order shouldn't be cancelled.  Stop talking to the sales representative. Very few sales representatives have the experience or knowledge with fleet ordering or scheduling to provide accurate information.  

    I was told by the fleet manager that if I deleted; spray in bed liner and the 5th wheel prep kit there would be a better chance my truck would get scheduled. I guess I will just set on my hands and wait for it to get scheduled…. Thank you for the information, I started a group that orders 35-40 superdutys a year for the last 7 years. This year’s orders have been challenging!

    Microman, I placed my order June 7 with a priority of M1 (1st week in December). My salesman says since that date has pasted, I will not get a new week. According to my salesman my order has been "Unscheduled/clean" since production started. I ordered a F350 XL DRW CCLB 4X4 bed delete 6.2 gas. The truck is stripped down with only the 8" radio as a fancy option. My salesman tells me my order is a dealer priority 10. I think since the profit on my truck is extremely low neither Ford nor my dealer cares if it gets built or not. 

    That’s interesting he claimed since the time has pasted they will not build your truck.

    Fleet orders are prioritized based on two-digit alpha-numeric priority codes indicating month/week orders needs to be built. Numeric priority codes are not valid for Fleet. See Fleet Priority Code Calendar link below for valid priority codes. Please be aware of the following:

     

    • Currently there has been risk to the production plans that is causing demand to be higher than supply. As risk occurs the scheduling volumes have to be adjusted which will cause delays in order to delivery timing (OTD). Please manage customer expectations as we move forward with the production and scheduling process.
    • First available priority codes are calculated weekly based on current order bank, available allocation, commodities, and plant downtime. It is very important to review the Fleet DNB weekly as first available priority codes can sometimes change drastically if, for example, a large influx of orders is received.
    • Fleet receives a pre-determined production slots each month for weekly scheduling. Once the amount of orders prioritized for that week/month exceeds the available allocation, the first available priority code is moved out to the next week/month.
    • Orders are selected for scheduling based on priority code first, then by order receipt date. Despite how long an order has been in the unscheduled order bank, if the plant is not yet filling the production week associated with the requested priority code, the order will remain unscheduled.
    • As a general rule of thumb, production dates are at least one month out from order receipt date.
    • Every effort is made to accurately estimate the lead times, and to reflect longer lead times of specific commodities. In the absence of adjusted lead times for commodities, please use the high, medium, or low risk rating as a guide.
    • This document does not apply to VSO orders.

    Every attempt is be made to honor requested Fleet priority code. Due to unforeseen circumstances such as plant downtime or commodity issues, this may not be possible. The information and estimated timing indicated below are correct at time of publication. Availability and timing are subject to change without notice. Acceptance of an order by Ford Motor Company does not constitute a commitment to build or a guaranteed delivery date.
     

    DESIRED PRODUCTION           DATE PRIORITY CODES          PLACE ORDERS BY
    February                                     B1, B2, B3, B4                             December 1
    March                                         C1, C2, C3, C4, C5                      January 1
    April                                            D1, D2, D3, D4                             February 1


    • CURRENTLY SCHEDULING FOR February/March PRODUCTION
    • SCHEDULING FOR March/April PRODUCTION BEGINS 02/10/22

    Ice,

     

    Since my priority code was M1 and that time slot has pasted dose the order get canceled? 

    2022 Super Duty Fleet Schedule?

    Sounds like we have the same salesman! I ordered using the Land O'Lakes fleet program (farmers Co-op) June 7 and according to my salesman my order has been "Unscheduled/Clean" (no VIN#) the entire time. I contact him once a month and all I get is "I'll let you know if I hear anything". From what I have learned on this site (a lot, thanks guys!) is all fleet orders go to the back of the line and retail orders to the front. So, you'll see orders entered months after yours was entered being delivered to retail buyers. Knowing what I know now about the fleets going to the back of the line, I would have never ordered the Ford. 

    I ordered mine on the same program….  The coined phrase I get “no update to report”

    You need to clarify what you're asking for. "Fleet priority day schedule" makes no sense.

     

    The Fleet ordering and scheduling process is an entirely different process from that for stock or retail orders. Fleet priority codes are codes for desired production dates and the estimated lead time (Order-to-Delivery) for 2022 Super Duty is currently 30+ weeks.

     

    Fleet information is available at the Ford Fleet site (https://www.fleet.ford.com/) which requires a Ford Fleet Identification Number (FIN) in order to register for access. 

    I’m at 32 weeks from when I put my order in for a fleet f350 KR Ultimate Tremor, I’m still don’t have a scheduled build date.

    Hey all - I'm at 175 days since the order for my F-350 was submitted back in June. I got the VIN a month or so later, but the build was pushed 6 times. The truck finally went into "In Production" status last Thursday, 12/9/2021, according to the info I got from the dealer.  Fast forward --- Went to the dealer today to get a status update since it's been a week and rumor has it that it should be built by now. The dealer gives me the Navy Airman Salute and says it's still in production and I can't tell you anything else.  I do not buy it. Sorry. Not being a jerk about it but there has to be some kind of status update I can get from somewhere. Can someone tell me how to get a current status on the build of my truck? I have heard the plant in KY shuts down for 2 or 3 weeks later this month and if the truck is not built and on the rails headed to me before they shut down that I will be waiting well into January for the truck.  I need to make plans based on when I can reasonably expect the truck to show up.

     

    Thanks - a retired Navy Chief just looking for answers...

     

     

    Update January 7th, 2022

    My truck was shipped to CSX Baldwin rail yard and arrived on December 27th.

    The rail car has since been unloaded but now I cannot get any further updates from CSX.

    Dealer is not cooperating - says Ford has not been updating tracker.

    ETA for delivery is scheduled for Thursday, January 13th. 

    What do you think the chances are that I will get the truck delivered on time? It has been on order since June 25, 2021.

    Any way for me to get a current update on the status?

     

    Thanks.

     

    Was it a retail or fleet order?
