No luck here. It was noted that this was cleanup week for any dealership with unused allocations and that KR and Platinum were limited scheduling. It will be next week I believe when the June's allocations will be used.

My Platinum order also got bumped another month just like yours
From week of 7/24 to the week of 8/24.
ORIGINALLY scheduled for week of 5/15/23
What is wrong with FORD?
THIS IS GETTING OLD!
I would be willing to bet it has to do with the pro backup assist since I heard it was exhausted for the month of June and possibly July. Since that is part of the package that is required on Platinum, it would not be able to be built. You're lucky to at least be scheduled and this early in Job 2. You will at least have a higher probability of getting your truck built before it moves over to MY24.

According to the latest scheduling update, pro trailer or pro back-up assist is exhausted for June. I don't remember which option and still limited scheduling for KR and Platinum. Hopefully with next months allocations and the other plant working this will mean maybe more of us get scheduled. However, since the pro-backup is part of KR and above, it seems unlikely.

So I’m assuming the regional for rep stepped in on yours? I was told dealers could only go as low as a 10. Anything lower required the ford regional rep. This could be wrong and inaccurate. Just thought I saw that somewhere. Ice-capades may be able to verify
That sounds right. I've been a 10 from outset last October. KR 450's just have a lot of missing/constrained items; one week it was tires ?. Like I said in the previous post, hopefully with the Kentucky plant fully running it will ease the burden of scheduling the KR and Play builds and open up the possibility of more being accommodated. If it continues at this rate of limited production for KR and Play, I'll be as likely to see my truck as I am to win the lottery twice in a row.

That press release is pretty thick with marketing mumble -- is it saying anything new? Maybe they added more capacity to build? It's a press release I'd expect to read a few months ago when the first trucks were hitting lots.
So, it's been limited scheduling for KR and Platinum for a number of weeks. Most of it is because of a couple of limited available items that are a part of those trim levels, but some of it was capacity for production. So, with the Kentucky plant open, it will help a small amount to alleviate the scheduling issues for higher trim levels. Though it was noted that Limited was exhausted for the rest of May and all of June.

Without supply chain issues this wouldn’t even be a problem and if you think it didn’t affect GM you’re dreaming.
You've got that right. The fact that their sitting on lots with cash incentives is because no one is buying them.
On another note I do wish the allocation thing was more transparent for a buyer. I only had one dealership tell me that I likely would not get a truck from them because they didn't have a lot of allocations and even the dealer I'm with doesn't readily share that. And I get it, they want a sale and if a low allocation is going to turn a customer away then might as well not inform the customer just in case they actually do get the vehicle to sell. It's just very frustrating taking a gamble on a dealership you don't have normal relationships with.

I ordered a lariat ultimate crew cab- 8’ bed with HO, 5th wheel prep, spray in Bed liner and winch in October. NO UPDATES…. Does this mean im out?
I would get with your dealer to check in and make sure your email is on the order that goes in the system. But even with that said, the answer to your question is... well know one really knows and that's hardest part. There isn't really a lot of pattern or ryhme or reason behind not getting scheduled. I mean there is, but there's so many factors that play into it that it's difficult to point to any diffinitive thing.

I am waiting on a scheduled build date ( Lariat / Ultimate / Tremor with 6.7 HO); dealer rang me up yesterday and advised the 6.7 HOs were in balance out and that his understanding no more 6.7 HOs for resto of model year. Curious if anybody has heard same from credible source (this is apparently separate from 6.7HO orders being shut down).
This was not what was communicated in Tuesdays Ford to dealer commodity/schedule information. I believe that is inaccurate.

From the Ford Video guy video I know at least from this last week's round of scheduling, my truck had very little chance of getting picked up. 19.5" tires, the ones that are on F450's, was only 2% of scheduled builds?. That and vista roofs are 20% which mine also has. Also HO Diesel was very low, though I don't recall the percentage. Then there's the upfitter switches which are a part of KR, and the pro back-up trailer assist which is also on KR. All of these were very low percentages for scheduling. I might be looking at a unicorn build. I know soon I'll have to decide if I can wait for a 24 if this thing doesn't get scheduled. I'm a priority 10 I'm case anyone else is in the same bucket...it's just parts availability.
Anyone else on here waiting for an F450?

For about a few weeks now, I’ve been seeing dealers with ads for Lariats and lower trims. They all started out with no pictures or computer generated pictures. For about a week now, some have begun to have pictures of the actual vehicles at the dealerships. Many of the vehicles have a market adjustment added but most don’t. Today I found 3 ads for Platinums. None have pictures of the actual vehicles yet. If the Platinums follow the same trend as the Lariats, perhaps we see some showing up on lots in a few weeks!
Yeah...about that. When I was looking into getting a '22 I saw the same thing. Picture after picture of trucks with stock photos, then they'd show up at the dealership with what ice-capades said, inventory pictures. But everytime I would call about that vehicle, it was a truck already ordered for a customer and sold. Then they would offer to have me order one or look at another truck if they had one. Most of the time it as a '21 or '20 MY, not in the trim I wanted, and marked up so high that ordering a '23 was actually cheaper. That's why I'm in this mess.
So, good luck at finding one that isn't already sold to a customer and doesn't come with strings attached or huge mark-ups.

I was going to do the same thing but I had to dealers tell me they could no longer order tremor packages. Is this true? Or do those two dealers just not know what’s going on
They are correct. The banks closed for tremor packages on Wednesday sometime according to The Ford guys latest video on YouTube. I can find the link if needed.
-
So here's some things that would be nice to know were it possible.
How many allocations at each dealership for each vehicle.
What order place is your dealership in the scheduling process?
And I know my priority code but how many are ahead of my order?
By the way, is it possible to assign the same priority code for the same vehicle at the dealership?
Yep, unless it's missing or really late...not scheduled yet again.
-
Wow, that is crazy fast. I'm really hoping to get scheduled within the next few weeks.

Got scheduled today for may 15 build of HO platinum
any current estimates on build time
Super Congrats. I would love to hear that in a few days from now but I'm thinking I didn't get picked up this week. My salesman is under the impression that we should both get an email when I get scheduled but the lack of emails from Ford makes me think otherwise and that I might only hear from the sales manager.

I'm new to this -- for 10%, is this "10% of ordered units" meaning 90% of these orders just won't get built this year, or was that figure taken into account when they shut off ordering for those trims? I'm choking at the thought that someone said "We can only make 1 out of 10 trucks in this trim, guess it's time to close the order book for that."
When I watched the Ford Guy video, it sounds like it's a line production capacity, meaning at this time they can only schedule that much for builds of what is ordered. Not the total of all orders. They noted that until July moonroofs are on a 7% constraint which means of the orders that will get scheduled, only 7% of the orders can have a moonroofs in their order.

Yep, I chose to do the same thing for the spray-in liner. Excited for you...to bad it's a week away for pickup when it's so close ?

So let it be written;so let it be done. ??
Well, here's hoping I get scheduled soon so I don't have to debate wether or not I need to roll over to a MY24. My dealer contacted me and let me know I'm not scheduled yet but let me know as soon as it is. He also said that we would both get an email from Ford saying it is. However, based on the lack of emails from Ford, I'm not holding my breath for up-to-date emails on status.
For those of you who got scheduled, how soon did you know about it, from Ford, not your dealer?

I understood that, until the order was picked up for scheduling and assigned a VIN, it was no problem to add or remove any features (and I added a few of them including HO and the onboard scales), until I went to change the trim, at which point I was told I couldn't do that without risking the order being cancelled. I didn't understand that any of them affected my place in line but I was at the dealer first thing the day the order banks opened in October and still haven't been scheduled so for all I know I lost my place in line each time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's unlikely since before it gets picked up orders are looked at based on production availability and your dealer allotted priority code. Features can be deleted to help you get picked up in a production. Trims would create a new order and the upper trim levels are closed, except for King Ranch I believe.
I'm in the same boat. Ordered first day, 450 KR, with panoramic roof (constrained item), it comes with pro power (constrained item), fifth wheel prep package (constrained item), HO diesel (constrained item)...so I'm just hoping it gets scheduled period.

If that’s the case imma be p$$ed…I’ll give it till October 27th 2023 and if I don’t have it in the driveway I’ll just cancel the order and may find one on a lot somewhere
That's why I ordered a 23. There were too many 21's with like 65-100k miles on them and they were still asking a 35-44k price premium. I saw a 21 Lariat Ult, with 65k miles and they posted the original window sticker (I think to rub it in) in the pics...it was 25k more than when it was brand new, without 65k miles!!! And because there's has been a decreasing stock if new inventory it will still be that way because they know there isn't any other option. That is why I'm sticking with my order.

Sadly, I expect to see KR's, Platinums, and Limiteds driving around before a lot of us see our already built trucks.
If it's anything like last year the higher trim levels still have a ways to go. It's not looking good.

Has anyone seen or heard of any Job 2 trucks getting Vins or scheduled?
According to the Ford Guy on YouTube, it's possible that scheduling picks for this week might include job 2 builds, which will start in April. I'm assuming he'll post a video about that when it happens. But it's really likely to happen next Thursday scheduling round.

whoever is running ford needs to step down! while ford struggles getting out 2023s to dealers chevy has there 2024s already arriving. its a shame poor leadership.
It's because Ford is in much higher demand than the other guys; let them have their Chevy's. They have them on lots because they're not moving them.
And to be frank, everyone has different supply issues. I've seen things come out of the blue that no one would love expected to affect another business. The ripple effect to the extreme.
-
Ok, so my dealer got back to me and said that KR has on-board scales as standard equipment and that the J2 bank opened for it, so mine is in at priority 10. (And I removed the spray in bed liner option.) Now I just have to wait for all the planets to align so that my build can actually get picked up. ??

As of yesterday, Ford Video Guy said he didn’t haven’t the order guide yet, just codes and prices. Build and Price still hasn't updated with job 2 items yet (as of me writing this). We haven’t heard from our dealer yet either. I’m wondering if it’ll be Monday after Ford does the big webcast with theirs dealers.I got an email from my dealer saying that they haven't released the ability to add in the on-board scales which is what I was waiting for and whether I should push the order without it or wait to see when it goes live. I'm on the fence because from what I can tell it would be a very useful tool without me having to go to the scales each time. What do you guys think?

I agree with ice-capades. I've not heard of Ford essentially stopping production for a trim level this early and giving up. They still have a number of months to possibly schedule the order. This would also be affecting other people as well and I've not seen nor heard anything from others of a similar situation. This would also make the Ford authority news because this would be significant.
