benpack61 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I know the world is a mess. I really thought it would have been easier to spend 70k bucks on a truck and not wait 5 months. Im sure Ford is doing all they can. Sometimes it would be nice for a person to say Mr. Pack we have x amount of trucks ahead of yours or we are waiting on parts before we pick your build date or something. Just something in the meantime. A personal reply. Rant complete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned in another thread I never received an order preview sheet to confirm specs. This was for an order made on Monday. I have been asking for it, and they haven’t supplied it, which has been making me nervous. I called them today asking about why I haven’t received order confirmation from Ford yet if they added my name to the COVP order as was already requested/confirmed. They made claims about Ford not being very good about that with Super Duties and them not being a large dealer (but they are high volume) with fancy tools, whatever that means. I said I needed something to make sure the order has been submitted with the correct specs. They did end up sending me the below (attached to post). The status of the latest says “Order #### has been submitted to the order bank”. Is this the status prior to seeing “unscheduled - clean” or what do I take from this? status.pdf Your Dealer is either too dumb, lazy, can't be bothered or simply doesn't know what they're doing! To confirm your vehicle specifications, the Dealer should have sent you a copy of the order preview screen from the WBDO (Web Based Dealer Ordering) system. Your file is from the old CONCEPS ordering system which should only be used for fleet orders. Super Duty orders are handled the same way as the orders for any other vehicle line. And it makes no difference how large the dealership is, as all Dealers have access to the same tools and resources.

They are super responsive and willing to try and understand what I need, but I get the feeling they are set in their old ways of doing things. I wondered too if they had submitted a fleet order at first as the earliest time stamp from their output showed priority code 20. However, on the time stamp from a few hours later where it says the order was submitted to the order bank, priority was showing 15. The order “type” is showing “1”, is that retail in the old CONCEPS?

Priority code 20 is for stock orders only. Priority code 15 is for retail orders which can be 10-19. All retail orders are "Type 1" regardless of whether the order was submitted via CONCEPS or WBDO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the people with XL/XLT don't post as much as the upper end buyers. I went back to the 1st page of this topic and they're very few mentions of XL/XLT orders in the posts. SO maybe they are all (XL/XLT) being built so fast the buyers don't have time to post about them? Since I'm the "Black Sheep" here with a fleet order I may be the exception to the rule on XLs being built first. With the amount I'm saving using the fleet discount I can afford to wait a while. I don't like it, but I can wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it as OP stated a problem of finding drivers for the last leg of the trip to the dealer? I understand a truck waiting a month near the factory for a microchip, but waiting a month after it has been dropped of the train, i just did not think something like could happen.

22F450 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hi guys, the pictures below show scratches on the tailgate of my 2022 f450 lariot. When I open the tailgate the bottom makes contact with the plastic on the bumper at two spots causing the scratches you see in the pictures. Check your trucks as this looks like a manufacturer defect. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OREGUNFIRE Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 My truck showed up at the dealer last week and they told me the bumper was way out of wack. 1'' off center. They are fixing it. Hopefully thats all thats wrong with it. I havent been able to see it as all my firefighters are or have been sick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

menasco Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Today my dealer sent a current VVR, confused by the status date and why it has not progressed. She has put a call into her area Ford reps to find out. I suspect a chip hold but am confused by the lack up updates too. I tried pulling the AS Built data file but it is incomplete, not sure when it is generated. 10/29/2021: Order confirmed 11/18/2021: Scheduled for production 12/20/2021 cyberdman searched and found "scheduled to start production on 12/21, but it has not started" Edited January 14, 2022 by menasco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand a truck waiting a month near the factory for a microchip, but waiting a month after it has been dropped of the train, i just did not think something like could happen. At first i was told it had to wait for a full transport load to my dealership(made sense). Then later I was told they had over 30 cars sitting there waiting to be delivered. Nobody really knew why it was taking so long it seemed like. Could not even get an accurate date it was simply "itll be here when it gets here". To my dealers credit my salesman did call me literally as the transport pulled into their lot. I Asked him to snap a pic for me at the end of our call and in the pictures they are still unstrapping Was the most frustrating part of the whole experience for me because it was not expected.

I can only imagine, so close and yet nothing you can do about it but just anxiously wait for the call. Glad you’re over it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
