ice-capades Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Just heard from the local dealership that they have 2 allocations, and should be able to put my name on one of them. They were thinking they would see them around April, but hopefully sooner. Retail orders won't start to schedule until after the "OK to Buy" status is achieved which may not happen until sometime in January. There's also a Retail Order Verification Program in place which requires dealers to upload retail documents (signed Buyer's Order, Driver's License, etc.) for verification before the order will be eligible for scheduling.

kepfordj Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Ford must be doing something different, my retail order has been scheduled for the week of Jan. 7th and I have the VIN number. 1FTER4FHXKLA03988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Ford reworked their process because they did something similar with the 2019 Mustang. Im wondering if any A/X/Z plan orders (and retail in general for that matter) are going to be built but not shipped until the OK TO BUY is given, then those units will be reinspected no matter what before shipping.

fuzzymoomoo Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I looked into it a bit, and found this: Until the okay to buy has been achieved, retail orders will not be selected for scheduling. Only retails that have been verified through the Retail Order Verification Program will be selected for scheduling. I guess yours was verified, and thus selected for scheduling.

akirby Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 They do this to prevent dealers from ordering dealer stock and lying and saying it’s a customer order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbeck72130 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Overall we were impressed, we have a 2010 Sport-Trac limited 4x4 v-8 the Ranger had as much if not more power. It reminds me a lot of the Sport-Trac size and looks, Ranger is way ahead with interior comfort and technology. I think we will be very happy with our new Ranger, do not have a production date yet but my dealer says it's in line to be built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sounding like this should be a nice truck for Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even during normal production a build date fluctuating within a week or 2 is pretty common. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice-capades Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Ford is generating invoices for Ranger's in production but has posted a notice that Window Stickers will not be generated until fuel economy testing is completed and the final MPG ratings are available. FORD STATEMENT The availability of the 2019 Ford Ranger online Monroney Label has temporarily been disabled to allow for the final Fuel Economy data to be correctly represented on all documents. We anticipate that access to these online window stickers will continue to be disabled through December 10, 2018. This will impact access through both the Vehicle Locator application and the links provided to your Dealer web sites.Our team will provide updates regarding the availability of these online window stickers as information regarding their release is received. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hared Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 It appears the $750 Preorder Cash Bonus cannot be combined with private/commercial offers such as Farm Bureau offers. Any inkling that Ford may offer up some other incentives (low financing or otherwise) before retail orders start arriving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dealer screwed my preorder up and ordered an XLT instead of the Lariat I signed for in my buyers order (we had gone back and forth before settling on the lariat). They've been cool about it since I have an email chain that backs me up and it's clear as day on the buyers order, but they had to order my Lariat as a retail order. They put it in as priority 12 but now I've worried it will be delayed as they tell me Ford only pulls retail orders once a month for scheduling. My dealer is one of the larger ones in the area the deals in volume so I am hoping they have allocation. I have the VIN on the preorder and it's scheduled for delivery in 55 days! Anyone have any info on when they usually pull the retail orders, just looking for a VIN so I can track it on my own? BTW, thanks to everyone on here; this thread has let me speak with my dealer like a pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
