Sounds like Lincoln up until a few years ago... MKC, MKX, MKZ! -
The Incentive Protection Program is still listed at the FMCDealer.com portal but has not been updated for the 2021 Model Year.

Bronco Price Gouging?
ice-capades replied to Bob Rosadini's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
Probably available as dealer installed options or promotional items at your local Ford Dealer in Texas! -
The Window Sticker date is the date that it was retrieved, displayed, etc. The Window Stickers are generated shortly before the vehicle goes into production. The Flat Rock Assembly Plant is known for shipping delays which can happen for any number of reasons depending on rail car availability, destination, quality holds, etc.

Sales Results January '21
ice-capades replied to ANTAUS's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
Fleet and retail sales are completely different animals regarding prices, incentives, order specifications, scheduling process, etc. and the profit motive is different with part of the fleet pricing being promotional and branding with government related fleet sales having the largest fleet incentives. In the vast majority of cases, fleet sales are ordered units and not sold from dealer stock. Dealers may stock fleet units for accounts that have vehicle needs on a regular basis but those fleet vehicles sitting in stock are a dealership floorplan expenses until sold and delivered just like other inventory. Otherwise, it's difficult to stock fleet units because fleets all have their own needs and specifications. Allocation issues only apply to retail orders as the fleet scheduling is completely separate from the retail order process. Dearborn decides the fleet production volume based on various factors including vehicle line, previous history, time of year, etc. For government agency related sales the time of year is an important factor as those orders are dependent on not just account needs but on the available funds budgeted for vehicle purchases. In addition, it's important to realize that fleet factory orders are subject to substantially longer lead times for scheduling and production. I've included copies of Fleet Estimated Lead Time (Order-to-Delivery). Hope this information helps give some better perspective to fleet sales and orders. FDNB _2104_2021-01-29_Fleet Scheduling.pdf -

Doesn't make a difference really as E-Series and Econoline have always been the same. -
Please don't post the same question in multiple threads.

Your Dealer has 24/7 access to the most recent status information, including the scheduled production week, via the Vehicle Visibility system. The production day and dealership ETA information is probably not available yet but your dealership can give you an estimated ETA based on the information that's available. Keep in mind that production schedules are subject to change due to the microchip shortage affecting plant operations.

How long does a Super Duty stay on the Build Line
ice-capades replied to rblazeiko's topic in F-Series SuperDuty Forum
If your order is scheduled don't remove the spray-in bedliner. Doing so will actually push your scheduled build date back! -
How long does a Super Duty stay on the Build Line

The spray-in bedliners are frequently a commodity issue due to production limitations and demand. -

Ford Vehicle Ordering & Scheduling Process
ice-capades replied to ice-capades's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
With a "19" priority code it would have been pushed back behind any other retail orders with priority codes 10-18 and any allocation issues. Retail and Fleet priority codes and scheduling is completely separate and fleet scheduling has no bearing on retail allocation or scheduling. -
