Just haven’t seen any updates on my build since receiving my window sticker Window Stickers are usually available about a week before the scheduled production date. If you have a VIN number, post it in the Window Sticker Requests section and I'll check to see if it's available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It first became available 6/10 but don’t have a way to track the vehicles status up to this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your dealership has 24/7 access to the latest tracking information via the Ford Vehicle Visibility function. Otherwise, vehicle tracking is available here in the "Vehicle Locator by Ford Employees" forum. Be sure to read the rules carefully prior to making your request.

DocPewPro Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Thank you for your help. Not able to call the dealer currently due to my current location but I have emails into them to get an update. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT84 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) I ordered a 2020 F250 XL Crew Cab the first of May from my fleet dealer. My order sheet says H1 priority code. Am I understanding it right that the code means production will be first week of August? Edited July 19, 2020 by JT84 Correct the sentence.

project13 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Looking for some advice. I ordered a 2020 Shelby GT 350 on 18 June (the dealership had the allocation) but still no vin for my order. I'm slowly starting to pull my hair out. This is the second time I have ordered from this dealership and the first time I have had this hard of a time with the vin. Any suggestions?

This is the second time I have ordered from this dealership and the first time I have had this hard of a time with the vin. Any suggestions? Specialty vehicles (Shelby GT350/GT500, F-150 Raptor) are not part of the regular allocation and scheduling process. Ford makes allocation available for scheduling to the regional offices that then decide what dealers will get allocation for scheduling. Dealers are notified in advance to make sure that they have orders in place meeting available commodity constraints but the lead time for scheduling these units is usually long. I just got a GT500 scheduled for October production that had been in the USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank) since before the COVID-19 shutdown.

Froggie Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I ordered an Aviator in May. The car was built August 12th 2020 in Chicago. Now I have an etadate of 2020-09-17. That's 16 weeks !!! on the lincoln site the estimated delivery is still 6 to 8 weeks. It's obviously a false advertising. Do you think my dealer has something to do with this and gave my order a very low priority ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggie Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 btw my VIN is 5LMYJ8XY7LGL36470. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly 8 weeks, although it arrived at the dealer a few days before I picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggie Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Thank you Kartergreg, that helps. He gave me a good discount (5000$) plus the Lincoln incentive at that time (1000$). And he is not very good at answering my text. You can't have everything , I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggie Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Are you in California ? Maybe the transit time (33) has to do something with the state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolScoop Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Froggie said: Maybe the transit time (33) has to do something with the state. Froggie, transitdate: "33" is the approximate transit time in days from the shipment date to the final delivery date to your dealer. It's just an approximation, so it could arrive sooner or later depending on rail delays along the way. The tracker doesn't always show some of the updates... like it may miss showing the shipment date but still show that its in transit. Hopefully Fuzzymoomoo will be able to locate it for you!

fuzzymoomoo Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 So it was built on August 12 and released for shipping on August 14th. It was picked up by the shipping company on the 16th and finally shipped out on the 21st. As of Yesterday it was on a train in a yard in Gibson Indiana. ETA is September 11-17.

fuzzymoomoo Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 FYI, everything I told you your dealer is able to give you. I used the same system they do. Why they couldn't/wouldn't is between you and them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they gave me the VIN. I don't know how it works but maybe they win more money if they give orders a low priority. Somebody told me on this blog that he ordered an Aviator in June and he has it already : just 8 weeks as they say on the Lincoln site. for me it will be 16 weeks.

Anyway Fuzzymoomoo thank you again for your concern. Is it a smaller dealer? They typically struggle to get higher priority production over higher volume dealers. Money gas nothing to do with it. As far as the delivery estimate it's just that, an estimate. Usually they give a range, or at least if they’re smart they do. There's myriad of things that could delay your order from parts/commodity restrictions to shipping delays. Once a vehicle leaves the plant and is in the hands of whatever entity is in charge of shipping it there's not a whole lot Ford can do about it from there. It sounds like the dealer you went to is at best poorly run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Fuzzy - what was the priority on the order? Customer orders should be 10-19 with 10 being the best. If they put the order in as dealer stock (20+) then that would explain the delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go talk to the sales manager and explain that you expect regular communication on the status and that you're not getting any response to emails or texts. If you're not getting responses from the sales mgr talk to the GM/Owner/Principle. That's ridiculous. And if you have a choice buy elsewhere next time.
