How long to build an Escape


Paradise

Recommended Posts

If you're talking OTD (Order-to-Delivery) figure 6-8 weeks depending on when the vehicle is ordered with the WBDO (Web Based Dealer Order) system and the newer allocation scheduling system that includes the Escape. 

 

Sometimes the right order gets submitted at the right time and it can get scheduled and built unusually fast. The Vehicle Visibility report and Window Sticker attached is for a Retail Order 2020 Escape SE Sport AWD Hybrid that was ordered on 08/05/2020, scheduled on 08/13/2020, in production on 08/14/2020 and delivered to the dealership on 09/02/2020! 29 days OTD but this is a rare exception!

Thanks, very interesting.

 

So from your example: 10 days from "Send to plan" to "Release" 

 

Is it normal or exceptional?

Is it about the same for all  versions (FWD, AWD, hybrid, PHEV etc...) ?  

 

 

 

 

10 days or less from "Sent to Plant" to "Released" should be the same for all models. "Released" does not necessarily mean that the vehicle will be shipped right away. Initial Model Year orders are usually restricted to dealer stock orders with vehicles held at the plant until the "Okay to Buy" status is achieved. The "Okay to Buy" also signifies the initial shipping release. At other times, a commodity issue or recall can cause vehicles to be held at the plant for repairs prior to being released for shipping.
