ekear Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Don't know where to ask this question. Ordered an F350 on 7/6/20, got the VIN the following week. Based on the posts above, it looked like it was scheduled for the week of 8/31. Followed it on alumizilla.com as it went to Scheduled to Week and then Scheduled to Day. But on Friday 9/4 it changed to In Order Processing and has been that way ever since. Any clue what happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First advice is always to contact your Dealer as they have 24/7 access to vehicle status updates. It's unusual for scheduled units to change scheduling status so late in the process but there may have been a commodity or other issue. Your Dealer will have access to that information or be able to contact their Zone Manager or Regional Scheduler for assistance. I do not recommend relying on third party sites for status information.

Paradise Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I saw this. But for me "soon" is not January. And why do they start Corsair PHEV in november? Is there enough Corsair PHEV to fill the production line for 2 months? https://fordauthority.com/2020/09/ford-escape-phev-production-dates-revealed/?fbclid=IwAR3_lKX8opmBJQlbBQMf7nQ3ubvM19YTC0NgccKB3emRuK0-23xJfTDJtec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
