TonyS Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Placed my factory order on March 17 2021 already. Should I not have a manufacture date at this stage - Dealer always very short with me and not giving me any information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewbs Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Depending on options selected, it may of had a issue where they weren’t scheduling trucks with a specific option. For example adaptive steering equipped super duties weren’t being scheduled. Also they weren’t running at full capacity at KTP so that puts a slow down on builds. The next super duty scheduling day is 8/12. Ford seems to pick a handful of orders from a spread of dates and get them built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdm Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) There are a lot of factors at play. Overall production is slow right now due to microchip shortages, there are also numerous other commodity issues at play affecting orders(currently any trucks with adaptive steering aren't scheduling until further notice). Not to mention your still stuck within your dealer allocations. There isnt any super duty scheduling until August 12th currently. There have only been a handful of scheduling cycles so far for the 22 super duties. Edited July 28, 2021 by mattdm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go check out the spreadsheet created for 22 SD’s and you’ll see all sorts of builds that have already been assigned VIN’s and even built. What’s crazy is all the late June and July orders that have already been selected and/or built… likely with the some of the same options as you have on yours… I hate to say it, but we just have to sit back and hope ours eventually gets selected, while all the recent orders get built. To be fair though, some of the earlier orders may not have been submitted to the new Ford COVP, which could also hold up some of those… there are a lot of factors, but early orders doesn’t seem to be one of them. Good luck getting your truck! I only ordered about 9 weeks ago (5/24) and hope I get mine by Christmas, but I’m not too confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the link to track 2022 orders that have been assigned VIN’s, which means about to be built or already built. And here is a link to another spreadsheet just started for folks that have ordered 22’s but have yet to get assigned. You can join the spreadsheet without having to sign up anywhere else. It’s pretty easy, just pick the options you ordered. It’s nothing from Ford, another user created these spreadsheets to kind of get a bigger picture as to what’s going on with peoples orders.

Dewbs Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 The price increase shouldn’t apply as you ordered your truck prior to the price change and removing a option should drop that line item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dealer said he couldn't do anything about changing it back, although, I have read on here that when it's time to submit the order that he can request to have the original prices reinstated... I mentioned it to him and I didn't really get an answer one way or another from him, so I guess I will have to wait and see when it's that time. I agree though, the price increase should not apply considering I agreed to the base price and put down an initial deposit at time of order, but then again... who knows what will actually happen. I'll be honest, I'm not prepared to walk over $230, but after realizing my PCO will also not apply, I'm looking for any savings from anywhere... lol!

Retail orders are price protected to the Price Level in effect at the time the original order was received by Ford. Vehicle Invoices and Window Stickers are generated at the prices in effect at the time the vehicle is produced. Dealers file a claim for the price protection which is an internal accounting matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other dealers in the area are getting these vehicles scheduled and delivered. Dealers covet too much information that Fords gives them alone and consumers do not have access to allowing them.

Other dealers in the area are getting these vehicles scheduled and delivered. Dealers covet too much information that Fords gives them alone and consumers do not have access to allowing them. Unfortunately, there are far too many Dealers that either don't know what resources and information are available to them, in order to more successfully manage their USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank), or are too incompetent to know better. Each Dealer's USOB, vehicle priority codes, earned allocation, unscheduled stock and retail orders meeting commodity restraints and other factors make it difficult, if not impossible, to speculate why one dealership gets orders scheduled and another doesn't. Members here are mostly either enthusiasts or customers understandably frustrated that they can't get the information they want from their Dealers. Ford makes a vast amount of information to the public but it's not necessary to provide the level of information that some may desire. There are a lot of customers that want all the features they desire to be available as free-standing options but doing so would increase manufacturing complexity and costs. Yes, there are packaging issues that cost customers wanting certain features a lot more than seems reasonable. Overall, Ford's vehicle order guides in general offer too many equipment groups and options which make it more difficult for Dealers to stock similar inventory that will turn over faster, increasing sales and reducing inventory costs. Certain vehicle lines, F-Series in particular, because of the wide variety of customer applications make it much more difficult to reduce the potential ordering complexity. However, with other types of vehicles such as CUV's and SUV's, there's no reason why the order guides can't be simplified. Unfortunately, recent history has shown that the ordering complexity has gotten worse instead of better. With the recent changes in the market caused by the microchip shortage issues, reduced plant production schedules, reduced dealership inventory, etc. the industry is now reconsidering how it should operate regarding inventory levels and incentives. If it's going to change the inventory model going forward it has to change the manufacturing complexity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
